Cathcing Up

I realized we have had alot of excitement in our lives latey. None of which I has been posted about. I'm going to try and catch everyone up on our recent goings on.
This is me at almost 35 weeks pregnant. This was taken a few days ago in Heidi's room. We painted 2 of the walls this pinkish/purple color. The other 2 walls are white. Daryl is still trying to finish up on her windows, but a big project and his Grandma Lamoreaux's is taking a considerable amount of his time. He assures me they will be done soon. When the room is all put together, I will try and take pictures.

Breaking and Entering

Last week, on Tuesday, we were all in bed ready for sleep when I heard a very faint noise. To me, it sounded like metal crashing. Daryl and I listened for another minute or two, but heard nothing else, so we went to sleep. The next morning Daryl got ready and left for work as usual. He came right back into the house to tell me someone had broken into our truck!! THAT'S what I heard the night before.
They shattered the driver's window and climbed through it to get in. Then they rifled through everything in there, and climbed to the back seat. There, behind the driver's seat, they found Daryl's entire set of Ryobi tools in the bag, and took off with it out that door. On the way in and out, the thief left trails of blood from cutting himself on the glass. Good for the police report, BAD for me. I had to clean it up. What they didn't find was the garage remote and the attached house key. Daryl moved it from it's usual place in the center console a few days before. Needless to say, we will not be leaving it in the truck anymore. We are very grateful that we are all safe. Windows and tools are easily replaced.

The Phoenix Zoo (Smithsonian Day)

The weekend after Rocky Point, Sept. 27th, my sister Marily and I took our three boys to enjoy a FREE day at the zoo. We got free passed that we printed off of the Smithsonian Magazine website. We saw a few animals, but mostly we played in the different fun areas.

Daniel tried his best to brush the goats in the petting zoo. The kept trying to get away from him. He decided to try brushing the goats that were eating. That seemed to work a little better.




All three of the boy took turns climbing and "driving" a tractor or two at Harmony Farm. Here's Dallin (4) taking Daniel for a ride on the big tractor.
Adam (2) preferred to ride by himself on the smaller red one.


They also played in the tree house and splashed around in their swim suits at the two different water play areas. We had such a great time. Thanks Marily for telling us about this free day. We had a blast!!

Rocky Point, Mexico

A couple of weeks ago, we went to Rocky Point with Daryl's Family. What made it even more fun was that My dad and Margie were able to go with us. (I apologize, but I didn't even think about getting pictures of them to post.) Daniel had a great time. After all, what's more fun than playing on the beach with Cameron, and going for rides on Daddy's quad? What a life!
September 18th - 21st

Daniel and Cameron one the beach

Daniel sitting on Cheryl's quad. He loves to pretend like he's driving.

Daniel was trying to be funny and put on Cameron's hat. It didn't quite work how he planned since Mindi resized it for Baby Eben to wear.

Daddy's Little Helper

Daniel loves to help his daddy when he is working outside. Daryl was out working in the garage when Daniel decided to help. He carried the bike pump over by himself and tried to connect it to the valve to air it up.
