So from our last post Daddy was going to take the kids camping and he did. From what Bryson tells me that it was really cold "like a freezer" "My hands were red and ice". He was so funny when he came home and told me all about it. They went up to Spruces on a Friday night and I talked to him after Daddy made pancakes. That was the real first time he talked to me on the phone. Of course I started to cry he was just telling me all about it. He also said he missed me and Dallyn. Lilly didn't talk to much but she was telling me how cold it was too.
Then after they packed up camp they went for a hike with Grandpa. They were EXHAUSTED! They hiked around Silver lake and then up to Twin lake and all the way around it. They had so much fun feeding pot guts. They also loved there water back packs. They are little hikers.
Dallyn oh Dallyn is ALL over the place now. He is so different then Bryson and Lilly cause they didn't really crawl till like 10 months and Dallyn was 9. Lets just say if we go play in the basement Dallyn heads to the Stairs and up them! The other 2 didn't even do stairs till at least 17 months partially my fault cause then we didn't have a finished basement and no stairs so they didn't need to know them. But Wow Dallyn is quit the kid I tell you! He is also walking with his walker. I would suspect he will be walking on his on within 2 months. My mom made this awesome blanket that Dallyn just loves. He loves to snuggle it. 
We also had Daddy's work party and the kids got their faces painted and they have never wanted that. It was sad cause I forgot we had daddy's cousin reception to go too so they had to get their faces washed. 
Also, Daddy replaced his clutch in his car! It only took an entire weekend and then a thursday off work. The first clutch was defective cause it worked for only 100 miles and then as I was driving it I couldn't shift. I was finally able to get it into second and third and just drove home as fast as we could hoping to not get stopped by stop lights. I had Bryson with me and It was scary. When we got home Daddy took it to a car shop and he said it fine on the outsidebut who knows on the inside. They wanted 500 bucks to drop it and put it back. Since Daddy had already done it twice he was not going to pay for it. So last thursday he took it all apart bought a new clutch and it works great now. We are so proud of him for doing that himself.
I am almost done with the twilight series. I am in part 3 of the 4th book. So the first book was good the second I had done in 1 day. 3rd took me a couple days and the fourth wow is taking the longest. I will get through I just don't like jacob's parts but hey its all good! But I can't wait for the movie to come out and I will have a ticket with my neighbor to go to the 12:01 Showing LOL!
Hanging out with my niece was so much fun. We went to American Eagle and Buckle looking for some school clothes for her. She got some stuff and we had fun. As We were having problems with the stupid phone as I was on the phone with 
We went up to Granite Flats with the ward camp out it was fun. As always as we head up there we stopped at Wendy's for dinner in Highland cause I was not going to make dinner there. The ward provided breakfast so I didn't have to bring any food. Basically just drinks. I packed us and we went up. We only had 4 sleeping bags but I figured oh Me and 
After the ward camp out we stopped by my sister in laws Barn. She has horses, chickens, turkeys, GOATS, and I swear something else I am forgetting but the kids love it and the best part its a free farm! 
Miss Lilly started school. The bus comes and gets her and its great! She is still really shy and doesn't talk much in school which is why she gets to go where she does. I think it could be that she is stubborn and a little anxiety. She says she loves school! This is my favorite picture of the two of them!
Then there is little 
So the kids were having so much fun on the slide and then we hit the pool! Of course with all the weight in front oh we completely tip. As I was under the water, scrambling for my kids I found them both. Pulled Lil's to my chest and got hold of Bryson Jacket and lifted him up! We all made it up but all three of us were coughing up water HORRIBLY. Both life guards in the pool were just asking if we were ok and I was just furious as I could get and just bit my tounge and got out of the pool holding my kids and hugging them! That was the worst feeling having your kids in the pool of water and you are suppose to protect them. Granted they had life jacket on but still you are just frantic for them! So we talked about it and the kids still say "Purple slide was fun but Pool was scary! Least they still had fun even though I was freaked beyond belief!
School started. Mom was a little worried about it but I do feel better! Bryson had a blast at school. He said he played on the playground in the rain! I also found out that there will also be an resource aide in there for Bryson and 2 other little kids! That was my biggest relief. As I went to go pick him up, I asked the teacher how he did. She said Great and I said you think we could float this year and she said yea but some parts could be a stuggle but we will do it! So hopefully the rest of the week will go good! I still can't believe my little first born baby is now my kindergartener! 
Sorry for such a long post so much happened in 2 short days but I think this will be it. Lilly starts school the 25! 
Also, here is our backyard that we have been working so hard at. We still need to move the trampoline up to the playground but right now its not in the way! So, I guess were still working on it. We have always had the grass but no fence or the playground cause of the people upbove us would never do there yard. We still would never have been able to do this without the help of our neighbor Paul! He also finished his yard and it looks great. Now we finally have one yard done and then the other one is fenced so we don't look at the weeds and the little critters running around through our grass ( it was nasty)! So the kids are set now. Paul gave us sand for free, their swing set and the tramp! 
Also, we went to park city over the weekend. He was in desprate need of shorts for school. As I was looking in at Carters there is a lego table with 2 chairs. Bryson goes to sit down with Lilly. 
Dallyn will be 9 MONTHS on sunday! I did his check last week while we happen to be at the doctor. He was 19 lbs 6 oz (35%tile) and 28 inch (32 %tile) and i don't remember what his head was but it was in teh 25% tile! Dallyn is my shorty and weighs the least! Dallyn is so funny he has started to try to get up on all 4! He hasn't figured out the crawling yet, he is almost there and lands on his tummy when he moves. He just rolls around!
I love my kids and I would have never imagined me with 3 great kids!
We also had Miss Lilly's 4th birthday. She wanted to go to the zoo. So both grandparents met us up there and we went to the zoo. She had so much fun but it sure was hot. I still can't believe my little baby girl is 4!
We have been working on the yard and got a fence and boy was that a fun haha... Daddy said it wasn't that bad. I still need to take a picture of the yard now but boy I have a backyard now. As some people may not know but the people up above us have like a 8 foot drop so we raised the fence 2 feet so he could eventually do his yard, yea right cuase its been 5 years and there are 10 foot weeds back there and mouse infested its gross. The fence hides all of that and now I have a Yard! Thanks to our neighbor for all the help!
All in all Lake powell was fun, it was fun working in the yard with my husband and watching the kids play, going to the zoo but I am sure glad that the hottest month is almost over! 
Also this weekend we built a 40" retaining wall so we could finish the last 10% of our yard and put the swing set and trampoline up there since we designed it for the playground just never got around to it. Our neighbor had a mini tractor thing and flatened it out last weekend then this weekend we build the wall and back filled it. Let me tell you that Mommy and Daddy were dead! We still couldn't believe we got that all done. We even had Bryson out there working! Now we are hoping to get gravel if our neighbor gets it for cheaper! 
Also my neighbor and I went and tried Jazzercise! Granted it was REALLY fun But we went 4 times on our free week and I only liked 1 teacher. Also, on the days we didn't go I was doing Jillian Michaels DVD's at home and boy does she kick your butt! I fill it more with her dvd then Jazzercise! So said to say that I won't be doing that. I have 2 little reminders that push me and also yell at me "MOM do your WORK" It is so funny! I still can't believe my picture though. Daddy's mom made a picture book and saw on of my "elephant" pictures and then i saw the one with the kids. I lost a total of 85 lb and even having a baby i am still down 75! I have 10 more lbs of Dallyn which really isn't that much! I can do it with my kids saying " Do you work mom"I really do hate that picture but as Daddy's Dad said it was a part of life and you can just improve and that I have So thanks Dad I will try and appriciate all those pictures too cause it just shows how far I have come! i will have to have Daddy take a Better picture and post it!
