Slacker, I know!

Alright, alright. I know I am terrible at blogging and would easily be classified as a slacker, but honestly, I don't know how those of you who update as often as you do, do it! I guess I am not the best at managing my time because by the end of the day I am too pooped to even think, let alone post! Perhaps I will get better in the future, but I'm not going to bet on it. For now, here is a snapshot of what has happened the past, well almost two months. February held lots of happenings. Our Enrichment committee in our ward is the greatest and we had lots of fun things to do, like craft night where I learned how to make diaper wipe covers (I'll post pics later) and book club and lunch bunch and tons more! Very cool! So I was getting my craft on, like I said I'll have to post pics when I take some. CLS was anxiously planning for the arrival of his parents and was busy at work of course. Then in the middle of preparing for our soon to be arriving guests my Grandma S. passed away, so that meant a quick trip for me up to Utah to attend the funeral. It was a very peaceful and beautiful funeral, probably the most peaceful I have ever attended. And as morbid as it may sound, Grandma looked beautiful. My Dad, who can do everything, made the casket. He wanted to put love into what his mother was to be buried in and that coupled with the fact that he is the handiest man I know resulted in a really beautiful (better than I even thought) casket. I also got to hang out with just my siblings a couple times which NEVER happens and was REALLY fun!
Onto happier topics...after I got back CLS's parents came to town for a visit. We bring them down once a year and look forward to their coming each time. Mom helped me ready the house and what not for the baby and Dad and CLS went on an overnight hike with some other fellas from the ward. They had a great time. Here's a couple snapshots of their escapade.

 

There's nothing like getting into the great outdoors, especially for these guys!
MHS had so much fun with his grandparents. They got to see how big he is getting and how heavy and strong he is. MHS even came up with a new wrestling move that got Grandpa to the ground. Grandpa, the wrestling coach of the family, said it is definitely effective. Here are a couple clips of MHS in wrestling action.

 

Pretty much he grabs your hair and pulls you down towards the ground while pushing his face into yours...works well. We think he's got potential.
MHS is absolutely a ball to be with. He LOVES to dance and talks (baby babble) a lot (must get that from his Mommy). He amazes me with all he can do and his determination, apparently his Daddy was like that at his age.
The little chica has not yet arrived, another month or so. We are trying to be ready, but it's harder with one child already here. Thank heavens for online shopping! My V.T. and another sweet lady in the ward did a triple diapers/wipes shower for myself and a couple of other expecting mommies yesterday. It was so nice of them and fun to get together. I'm getting more and more excited about having a girl, but wish we had a name for her. (we are working on that)
CLS turns 35 this coming Sunday, so I'll try to snap some photos and post them after, but who knows. I think this post is long enough, but at least now you know what we're up to. Here's a couple of pics of MHS and I for the road. I hate pics (especially at 34 weeks preggo) but what ya gonna do?
