The poor boy doesn't have anything to wear, but he will have a stylish place to rest his head! I was dreading having to make new bedding, but it went really fast and turned out pretty good.

Stay tuned for the finished room.

Jared and Kelly invited all of us to Lake Powell for a weekend camping trip.

We had a great time...
Hangin' out in the shade...

Coolin' off in the water...

Tubing behind the boat...

Posing...

And playin' with Grandma and the cousins!

Lucy turned into a Lake Rat! She loved the boat and had to go on it every time it left the shoreline. The weather was HOT but good for the most part. We didn't get any sleep either night and were so glad to be in our own beds. Thanks for the fun filled weekend.

As we watched a few of our favorite shows tonight Lucy was dancing around like usual. The next thing I know she is pulling on some...

What a girl, don't know what we would do without her!

{fourth of july}

I look forward to the 4th of July every year. This year we stayed close to home. Grandma Hansen invited us to the park for breakfast. Then we went home to prepare for the nightly activities. Eric and Lucy ran to Wal Mart for a few things and came home with the

MEGA pack of firecrackers.

Lucy was thrilled. She made sure everyone that came to the door saw them.

We invited the family over for a yummy BBQ. We were all full before dinner was ready. After dinner we were invited over to Daniel and Jami's for Root Beer Floats and FiReWOrKs!

Not only did Eric and Daniel each have a huge box of fun...Daniel and Jami's neighborhood got together to let all of theirs off too! Next year we will just show up and let them buy the entertainment!

Lucy wasn't interested in getting too close to the street. She enjoyed them. I don't think her expression changed all night.

Then on to the big ones!

Yes, our ears were ringing by the end of the night. It was a great day and I am sad it has come and gone! Until next year....

What else do you expect a 3 year old to know how to cook? As you can see she is so excited! We picked up Grandpa Hansen's favorite pizza the night before in anticipation of visiting him.

Home for naps and then we went to Grandma & Grandpa's for dinner. Father's Day gifts were not that exciting this year but I think Dad loved his gift.

Eric requested an Apple Pie from Grandma Shirley. We played a few rounds of Chicken Foot...we think anyway...I guess we were playing Dad's rules!

I love and appreciate Eric. He is wonderful, patient, funny, sexy, kind and the best Father. Lucy loves her Dad to pieces. When he gets home from work she talks and talks to him until bedtime. I love watching them play and especially listen to their conversations when they don't know! I am not sure how well Lucy will want to share him with baby brother.

Here is our self portrait of the three of us...
