I got back from girls camp yesterday. It was okay. I usually really like girls camp and it always is a such a fun and spiritual experience. I didn't really feel like that this time. I went up a day later then everyone else, and I just felt kind of left out after that. It rained a lot and that made a lot of the scheduled activities change to "down time" aka do nothing. They didn't sing much and that is a part that I really enjoy. I am sure that it is just my attitude, but it was kind of a disappointment. I think that the girls had fun and that is what is really important.
I haven't been my normal happy, perky self lately. Something about this pregnancy - I have just been more down. It is kind of weird. I am a little worried that it will only get worse as it gets hotter. The hotter that it is the worse that I feel. Today was a rough day at church. It was so hot and stuffy and I just felt yucky. I fear that is how it is going to be this summer in the heat. I will just have to try and stay cool.
Tony is so awesome and such a great husband and dad. While I was at camp Tony winged Tyler from his binky and has him sleeping in is own bed all night long. I am such a sucker when it comes to hearing Tyler cry and not making him happy, so Tony was good to take on that task. I have been doing a good job at keeping up with what he has started, so I feel good about it all. We really wanted to get Tyler off the binky and staying in his bed at night before we have this next baby, so it is good. Now it is just getting him potty trained. He really doesn't show any interest in it and I don't think that he knows really when he needs to go. I am not sure if we will try and tackle that before the baby or wait until the baby comes and the newness of it has set in. Any ideas?

Updates
Nothing too crazy or exciting has happened lately, but it has been a long time since I have posted, so I thought that I would give an update on our lives:
* It has been raining here tons for the past couple of weeks. I have loved it. I thought that it was getting so hot before and it was only in the 80's. Also, we haven't needed to water our lawn in a while, so that has been awesome. Our water bill should be nice for this month. The only problem is that I haven't been able to go walking as much or been able to let Tyler play outside. Because of that I am starting to get really tired of Curious George. Tyler loves that show and we bought some episodes on DVD, so we can watch hours of George - lucky me.
* I have gotten the opportunity to watch my sisters kids a couple times these past couple of weeks. Tyler loves playing with them, and for the most part they get along really well. Tyler does have a hard time going down for a nap while they are here because he wants to just play, but besides that a good time is generally had by all.
* Girls camp is next week. I don't have a huge role this year, but I am excited to go. I am in charge of the thoughts for each day and that has been fun putting them all together. I have always like girls camp. I am not going the whole time. I am leaving after Tony gets home from work on Thursday and then I get back on Saturday. Since I am 6 months pregnant and I don't have a specific role, I am just going to go and sit and be silly. I am good at that. I am a little worried about having to get up and go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. That is the worst. Wish me luck with that.
* I have to do my Glucose test sometime this week. My appointment in next Wednesday so I need to do it before then. I just hope that all is well. That is the last thing that I need to deal with right now, or ever. I need to be careful because I do like the sweet things.
* Tyler is great. He tests my patience often, but that is what a two year old is suppose to do. He also can be a great helper and listener. He is so much fun and I am so excited to see him with his little brother. He will be great!

Fun weekend with family
My cousin Brandy and her husband and four boys came down and stayed with us over the weekend. It was nice to see them and spend time with family. On Saturday we went to the zoo and had a good time. Tyler really likes to see animals and enjoyed the train ride. It was pretty hot by the time we left, so I was glad that we didn't stay any longer then we did. We did buy some yummy kettle corn, it was delicious!
After that Brandy and her family went to see her sister, Vikki, who just had a baby and we went home to put Tyler down for a nap. Then we went to Hoppers and ate dinner that night. It was pretty good food, but I didn't really like their home made root beer or cream soda.
Then on Sunday after church we all went up to the cabin and spent the afternoon. We had some yummy food and enjoyed the great mountains and the cool breeze. We did a little four wheeling and Tyler just loved that. We didn't stay up there too late because Tony had to come back and get to bed because he had to be at work at 3:00 am the next day.
Then Monday we went to the Oquirre Temple open house. It was really nice to see the temple and enjoy it with family. I did notice that even though it was nice and peaceful in the temple, it was a totally different feeling being in the temple open house verses being in a dedicated temple. It makes me want to go to the temple more often, we really need to go more often. It will only get harder when this next baby comes.
Speaking of the baby. I had my 24 week appointment on Friday. I am measuring at 26, so I am a little bigger then my weeks. I guess that is fun. I finally gain a couple pounds verses loosing weight, not so fun. I have to do my glucose test on my next appointment, good times. I hope that the test is all good and that I don't need to worry. Good times.
