Puerto Vallarta
This year my family did a big kid trip. It was so fun to hang out with my siblings and parents without kids! We were gone for about a week and did all kinds of fun things. We spent a lot of the time at the beach!!
Mark and part of my family took surfing lessons

Swimming with dolphins. We rode in a boat with a marine biologist who showed us wild dolphins in the ocean and let us swim with them. It was really neat to be able to swim with them in the ocean in their natural habitat. We weren't allowed to touch them but we got really close to them.
This picture is for my mom. ha ha
Got to love the action pictures. Three of my favorite people, my mom and two sisters! I love them. The are the funnest people I know.

Crazy Weekend
I thought i would do one last post before we move across the country tomorrow morning. This Weekend has been crazy! I did the Spudman Triathlon with my family and friend Aubrey and then we spent he weekend in Twin falls getting things settled with out house and bringing all of our stored stuff back to Utah. Here are a few pictures.

Grace being a stinker in the hotel . ( we put her to bed and she pulled all of the tissues out of the dispenser....and we thought she was sleeping)
Me friend Aubrey and me after the Traithlon. I just did the swim and bike. Baby isn't letting me run. :( which is making me really sad. I ran most of my pregnancy with Grace.
Me after the swim. You can see my quite large stomach.
My sisters Jami, Kelsey and me before the race.

Camping
We went camping this weekend with some of Mark's family. We went to a campsite just north of bear lake. The kids had so much fun! Zach loved the fire and would boss everyone around to get wood for the fire. Friday we walked to a reservoir and the kids played in the water. Saturday we drove to Bear Lake. Zach and Grace love the water. They have absolutely no fear of the water. We had to keep a close eye on them.
At the reservoir we let just get wet in her diaper. Her diaper got so full she had such a hard time walking.
Grace ate way too much sand. She wouldn't seat long enough to eat so all of her food was covered in sand.
Zach loved the waves. He would lay down in the sand and wait for the wave to come up over him.
Grace is finally walking! She has been walking for about a week.

I know it has been forever since I have updated my blog, but I'm going to blame it on my mom's ancient computer. It is so slow and half the time doesn't upload pictures.
Here are a few pictures of what we have been doing the last month. Sorry, they are out of order.
Grace turned 1 last month. She is such a doll. We can't get enough of her. She isn't walking yet but with talk 5 or 6 steps from place to place. She is saying a few words. mama, dada, cat, uh-oh, and shakes her head no. She also will sign please, more, eat, and sleep. She loves stuffed animals and playing with Zach, but most of all she likes her mom and dad to hold her! She is so attached to Mark as soon as he gets home she wants nothing to do with me and all she wants is Mark's attention. It is really cute. plus I like the break from holding her...
Mom took us to the zoo. Zach loved the animals. This is the first time I think Zach really watched and like the animals. He said his favorite was the baby elephant. He also really like the reptiles. I think because he could get really close to the glass cages to see them.
As you can see my belly is getting quite big! For those who don't know yet we are expecting baby number 3. I'm really excited but to be honest have been quite sad also. I was really excited to run Grandma's Marathon, which was last weekend, and then the Spudman Triathlon in July. I guess those will have to wait until next year. One little complaint...I'm getting so big so fast. Really annoying. I already look about 5 months along. I guess that is what comes with the third baby and that baby being so close to the previous baby. Grace and the new baby will be about 19 months apart! Fun but crazy!
Zach turned 3!! He had such a fun day. I made these turtle cakes for him. I'm quite proud of them. I'm not very artistic so I thought they turned out pretty good. We had a little party for Zach Saturday morning (we celebrated it on Saturday since Sunday was father's day). We had a little water fight with all of my little brothers and then had a pinata, opened presents and had cupcakes and then went swimming. Which we do almost everyday. Zach and Grace love the water! Zach s so brave with his water wings. He jumps right in the deep and goes all the way under and kicks himself all over the place.
Mark planned a really fun Family Home Evening the other night. It was a water fight Hunger Games style. For those of you who have not read the book Everyone started out with nothing and there was a bunch of good weapons in the middle of the sports court to fight over and a bunch of water balloons and weapons hide around the yard. It was really fun!!

cute kids
I can't ever keep a bow, clip or elastic in her hair. 
Zach is so funny! He keeps me busy cleaning up messes and chasing him. A funny story: The other day Zach came running up to me SUPER EXCITED. He then told me "I picked me nose and ate it and it was yummy! Daddy said it was icky but that is okay, it's not it is YUMMY!" I thought it was hilarious that he was so excited to tell me that his dad was wrong. It has been pretty tough convincing him otherwise now. A few days a go Kelsey, my sister, was painting outside with the little kids and noticed that Zach wasn't painting rocks like everyone else but was painting our cat! The cat apparently didn't mind being stroked with a paint brush.
Zach has also found that he can get out of nap/quiet time if he poops his pants and if i put him back afterwards he will then wet his pants a few minutes later! I'm struggling with that one. I really need a few minutes to myself!
Grace standing up. She will stand up for a few seconds and has even taken a few steps.
