Swimmin', Fishin' & 4th of Julyin'

We hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable 4th of July! I, for one, enjoyed the day with Jed home from work. We made an early trip to Bountiful to deliver the green Saturn into the hands of Nappy...but not before we had OUR check in hand!! I know she was extremely anxious to have a reliable car, so hopefully it stays that way. We didn't use it much, so it'll be nice to save money every month by not paying the dreaded insurance payment!

We went to lunch with Tawnya & Landon and than took Lucas to see "Ratatouille". He was not very excited about going to the movie and kept asking to go home. Once it started he was okay for the most part. He ended up falling asleep towards the end. I thought it was a fun show.

Later that night we did some fire crackers in front of our house. Lucas was NOT impressed...to say the least. He kept his hands over his ears pretty much the entire time. We did see some "illegal" ones light up the sky by our house and those he's okay with!

I had high hopes that today would be the big day...but than again, I have high hopes that every day will be the big day!! Sorry mom, you lose! According to the dr., he's ready to make his grand entrance at any time.


Hiding behind Tawn...as if she can save him!

On the 3rd, Jed decided we were going to go fishing. I, of course, was a bit opposed to the idea since I knew I would be chasing Lucas around. Jed made Lucas promise that he would sit still and help daddy fish. Let me tell you what a promise means to a two year old...NOT MUCH! We drove up Payson Canyon to a little place called Maple Lake. Jed ended up catching 3 fish. Lucas wasn't that interested in them so he played in the dirt. He did get in trouble a couple of times after throwing rocks...hence the sad face pictures.

Last but not least, we bought Lucas this little pool. He LOVES it! He requests to swim in it daily. Although, in my current with-child state, the heat of the day is not too appealing. We usually have to wait until later so that we can have some shade while he plays. Can I just say how much I love this little guy??!! I feel so lucky to be able to stay at home with him.
