We had a great 4th of July weekend. Zane had 4 days off, but unfortunately he had to use one of them driving over to Rexburg to fix the car once and for all. We had the school rebuild the engine but they forgot to fill the transmission up with oil before we left, so by the time we got it back home, all the gears were gone so we had to tow it back for them to replace the transmission. We finally got it home again father's day weekend. They got a refurbished transmission and we noticed that it was leaking transmission oil pretty badly so Zane drove it back Thursday night for them to fix all the seals on Friday. No leaks again so far, so let's cross our fingers everything else stays the same! :) It's a great car with 475K miles that we were given, so we figured if we spent the money on replacing the engine, it would last another few hundred thousand miles or so and it's still better than any car we could buy for under $2K. Yay for Hondas! :) That took up his Friday, but we still had the rest of the weekend to enjoy. Saturday we cleaned up the house and went hiking a little down in the canyon - it was so beautiful!
Doing laundry the boys decided they liked the underwear on the head better
(and no, Cowboy isn't strangling BB - he thinks he's posing)
I can't believe I am actually posting a pic of myself pregnant.
He has this uncanny ability NOT to look at the camera - EVER.
Church was good on Sunday. Something that really struck me on Saturday was the 3rd verse of the national anthem. I think more people should study that particular verse, particularly those in any authority position in Washington. "Oh, thus be it ever, when free men shall stand between their loved homes and the war's desolation! Blest with vict'ry and peace, MAY THE HEAV'N RESCUED LAND PRAISE THE POW'R THAT HATH MADE AND PRESERVED US A NATION! Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, AND THIS BE OUR MOTTO: 'IN GOD IS OUR TRUST!' And the star spangled banner in triumph shall wave o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!" We keep moving away from God in a disguise of separating church and state, but it feels that as a country we are now supposed to be completely separated from God, as though he has no role or part nor should He. No matter what religious affiliation you are, I hope you stand up and be counted, not only as a patriotic American, but one who believes strongly that God is at the head of this nation, not man. We had a fun bbq at our neighbor's Sunday night with lots of fireworks - we all had a great time!
Once again, not looking at the camera.
He LOVED doing the sparklers
Dad was doing all the fireworks, so that's why he's not in the pictures.
Monday we had fun and went to swim lessons and stayed for open swim. They have moved Cowboy up to the older classes because he is such a swimmer. BB is taking after quickly. Both of us are super bored in our water babies class because he is so far advanced, but I feel like he is just too little for the bigger classes (in ability to listen and understand directions). Princess and Cowboy loved swimming and diving for their new dive toys with their new goggles yesterday. :) It's always fun to swim with dad! We were supposed to go to a bbq that night with my old college roommate and I felt so bad because I completely forgot. I remembered earlier in the day, but when 5 o'clock rolled around I couldn't remember what it was that we were going to do that night. *sigh* I felt so bad. Hopefully we'll catch her the next time she's in town!
