Fatter Now or Then?

The other day I had Rich take a picture of me to see how I measure up when I was pregnant with Robbie at about 8 months. It just so happened that I am wearing the same black shirt that I did back then although, you can tell it has definitely faded over the past few years. I am convinced that I am fatter now, but judging by the pictures I am not sure. I guess it goes to show you that you carry boys differently then girls.

Pregnant with Ali or Lexie at about 8 mo. Most of my weight has gone to my sides, butt & thighs unfortunately which, I think is harder to loose.

Pregnant with Robbie at 8 months. I think I was mostly belly weight with Robbie which, is easier to loose by the way. Oh well, I guess will just have to submit my body to the extra weight gain for now. Men are lucky that they don't have to sacrifice their bodies to get a baby.

Independence Day

This year we had an eventful 4th of July weekend. Rich was fortunate to get a 4 day weekend, so we spent Friday up in Heber with his brother Jacob and fam. We went up to Cascade Springs which was gorgeous, only I did not have my camera. I will have to post a few pictures later when I get some photo copies from my talented sister-in-law who takes amazing pictures. After running around all day with the cousins, Robbie fell asleep on the car ride home and after a quick meal went back to bed for the rest of the night.


When we woke up Friday morning we went up to Kaysville where we joined Rich's friends, Goar Family above, for the Kaysville 4th of July parade. Robbie has never been to a parade and really enjoyed collecting candy and seeing all the trucks and pretty floats.

More like he put every candy in his mouth to try it out. I was constantly having to hide the candy in my pockets or pull it out of his mouth just to get it unwraped in time. Some times he would just spit it out on the ground if he received another piece of candy that looked more appealing. I guess he got my sweet tooth. I wonder how he will do when Halloween comes around this year.
It seems like I am the only one that tries to smile when we get a family picture taken. I guess my boys don't care that much about photos.

After the parade was over we had lunch with them and then went to our friends house in Sandy for a group bbq and firework display. I am really grateful that we have this holiday to celebrate our freedom and the sacrifices our forefather went through to establish the country that we enjoy living in today.
