The weekend....

OK, my battery is about to go dead so I will make this one quick. Although let me just say that I think I am wordy. My friend Rachel was saying the other day her teachers used to tell her that, about her writing, and I have discovered that I am that way also. Oh well, you can always just look at the pictures!! We had a great weekend filled with babysitting and boating. Friday night we watched the Opie kids while their parents, Chris and Dawn, went out for their anniversary. The kids were wonderfully behaved for us. Keaton ate about 7, went to sleep at 7:30 and stayed asleep the rest of the evening. Gentry hadn't had a nap so she wanted to go lay in our bed about 8 and watch cartoons. She fell asleep and so did I, while Wes stayed downstairs with Keaton in case he woke up. I will say that the hour Keaton was awake was tough though! He likes to be held, and you can't just hold him, you have to walk around too. I see why so many people have the slings now. One of those would have come in handy! These pictures of him and Wes were when they first arrived, so he was pretty content at this point!





Isn't she the cutest thing? I love this child. Here is an even cuter one of her. This was a little while ago, but I can't resist.



Now on to Saturday....We went out with the Shaw's to Utah Lake. It was 100 degrees, we don't have a pool, but needed to get wet, so we drove out to the middle of the lake, parked the boat, and swam and floated around for about 3 hours. It was so nice! Utah Lake is near Provo, which to many around here is not the place you want to stay and play for long (it's home to BYU, if that tells you anything!) But it's a nice lake, and the views were great.
