Julia said she didn't want to swim. She started out just getting her feet wet. She ended up in Grandpa and Grandma's pool with her clothes on.
Denton loves to swim, but we are trying to get him to swim without so much gear on :-)
Grandpa Belt is teaching Julia how to draw circles with a protracter. So cute to watch them interact.
Grandma and Grandpa Coon have some beautiful roses this time of year.We are driving home from church and Denton says, "Repentance (Resurrection) is when you die and then come back to life. That's pretty fun, except for the dying part huh?"
The kids always try to run wild at Lowe's because it is such a big store. I got looking at something with Brandon, we turn around, and this is what we find. I'm just so glad it's new and not used :-)
We went to St. George for the weekend. Saturday morning we all went to Chuck a Rama for lunch. We are a pretty loud bunch when we all get together! Later, we went to see Brandon's niece, Katelyn, get baptised. That was a really neat occasion. Katie is the oldest grandchild on Brandon's side.
Saturday evening, we went and visited my parents for a few hours. When we got back to Brandon's parents house, Jennifer, Cameron, and Brandon's dad were all ready to play cards. We stayed up playing cards and eating candy until 2am. It's been a long time since I felt young enough to stay up that late. Sad, I know, but we had a blast.
Sunday morning, we had a huge breakfast at the Bonewell's, then we went to visit my parents again. Denton loves helping grandma Coon make cookies and carrot juice. He won't eat any sort of vegetables, but my mom lets him put the carrots into the juicer. Then, he's all excited about drinking carrot juice. Crazy, I know.
Then, we went to Zack and Alisha's ward to see their baby, Matthew, be blessed. Baby blessings are so fun. After that, it was off to the Bonewell's to eat more food. We drove home that night and we were all in bed by 9am. We needed a vacation after that weekend. It's always fun to get together with family though.
Saturday was girls night out. Denton and Julia had been sick all day, so it was nice to get out. There were 9 of us (me, Maya Anderson, Tina Covington, Cami Higbee, Camme Chowen, Kirsten Simmons, Nancy Olsen, Karrie Pequeno, and Crissy Tippetts). I'm kicking myself now for not taking pictures, but it was so much fun. We had dinner at Pei Wei (yummy like P.F. Changs). Then, we went to Sunset Station bowling. I was just a little worried about my clumsy prego self with a bowling ball in my hands. I didn't do half bad. It was cosmo bowling too, which added black lights and music videos, very fun. Of course, we had to stop for frozen yogurt on the way home. We stopped at this awesome new frozen yogurt buffet shop. They have 10 different flavors of yogurt and 20 different toppings. You just grab a cup and knock yourself out. You do have to be careful not to overdo it because they weigh it and charge you per ounce. I loved it. I was nice to be out with the girls, eating, laughing, and having fun.
Saturday night Zack and Alisha came over to Grandpa and Grandma Bonewell's house and brought eggs to color, cookies to decorate, and games to play. Thanks Alisha! It was fun!
Amongst all the chaos, Denton fell sound asleep. Poor kid had a fever on and off and you can see how red his face is.
The kids had fun getting Easter prizes from Grandpa and Grandma.
Yesterday at church was interesting. About 20 min. before church is done, the nursery leaders come running out into the hall to tell me that Julia is throwing up all over. I walked in just as they were ushering the other kids into the room next door. There Julia sat, covered, and the floor was covered. My first thought... where do I start? So, I stripped Julia down to her pull-up, wrapped her in a blanket, and went home. The good part, she didn't get sick anymore. She was hungry right away and acted like nothing had happened. I think it all had to go down at church so I could learn a little more humility. Having kids has stretched me in ways I don't think could have been possible otherwise. I was also reminded how much I love my kids and would do anything for them, even clean up yucky messes :-).
We took the kids to the fishing pond in Boulder City to try out a new fishing pole. Denton is really good at casting out his plastic fish.
Julia just loves being outside.
This nice grandpa came walking by and insisted on putting a real hook on the line so Denton could catch a real fish. It was cute at how interested Denton was. 
Brandon and I went in for my ultra-sound at 19 weeks. I was so anxious to find out what the baby was. Brandon thought it was a girl, and I thought it was a boy. On the way there, he told me I could have one more chance to change my mind. I held firm and should have bet him something. This is the first baby that I was right and Brandon was wrong on. Denton has been wanting a little brother, so he's excited. Denton wants to name him Caillou :-).
Valentine's Day was really fun. Brandon got me a snow cone maker, which is fun for the whole family! For our date, we went to the college of message therapy and got messages (YEA!). It was funny though because they didn't really know what to do with a pregnant woman. The girl I got had never done a side lying message before, but she did ok. When we were done, they asked us if we wanted another message for free. Brandon said they weren't offering it to eveyone else coming out. If we weren't so hungry, we would have done another message. Instead, we went to TGIFriday's. The line was so long we went to Taco Bell across the street for an appatizer and got back to TGIFriday's with only a few minutes before being seated. I'm spoiled. I also got a dozen long stemmed red roses, a card, and a few chocolates.
