Swiss Days, Rainy Days, and Music Days

Swiss Days or as I call it "The other happiest place on Earth" has come and gone. Many of you have heard me talk about this crazy giant craft fair that happens every year in Midway UT. Going to this fair is probably one of my earliest memories. The scones, rubber band guns, awesome paintings and other crafty art are just apart of the nostalgia for me. Well this year, my parents were selected to be a part of the prestigious Midway Booster club, this is the Booster's booth they got to work in, (yes, someone made my dad wear this hat) which means the get to help and have an inside scoop of Midway business. Very big deal for Midway, I assure you. Anyways, believe it or not, Jason and I actually walked away this year without a single purchase. Jason called it a Swiss Days Miracle. I was almost sad, but I did find some cute phrase that I can do in vinyl. My favorite was for Christmas that said, "Are you part of the inn-crowd, or one of the stable few" and had cute stick figures of Mary, Joseph and the Baby Jesus in front of a stable. I thought it was very clever.


Aside from all of the fun of Swiss Days, the weather was beautiful, and the company was awesome. We got to hang out with all of my sisters (even Sam who lives in Texas) and spouses, and my brother and his wife. We all played volleyball as much as we could in the backyard. Part of the fantastic weather was a rainy day or two. Kimball was amazed by it... especially being the desert rat that she is. Here she is standing with Jason in the rain. She cried when we made her come back in. She would've stayed outside all day, every day come rain or shine if we'd have let her.



Now we're home and Kimball is back to doing the same old things. Well, almost. She decided to show us her new Piano/Singing skills (not to be compared to her numb-chuck and bow-staff skills).


Someone asked why I'm not many of the pics, and I have to admit that I like to be behind the camera more than in front of it, especially being as pregnant as I am. So here's a pregnancy update...(just for you Carolyn)... I'm feeling good, but big. Jack is constantly proving that he is already stronger than Kimball (and very much a boy) by punching me and kicking me all day long. I only have about 6 more weeks to go, but if Jack follows in Kimballs footsteps, it will be more like 4 weeks to go. So, let the count down begin. Now, what the heck am I going to do w/ 2 kids 15 mos apart? Insanity is a happy place... or so I'll find out.
