I now have 5 1/2 weeks left in this pregnancy and this past week I've become pretty uncomfortable. Brody took this picture before church this morning since I haven't really taken any pictures of myself this pregnancy.

Sundance Kid

Here is the picture of the kids after breakfast with Sundance. Brody challenged him to many quick draw contests and Julia got dolled up in dresses, all 15 or so bracelets, necklaces, and about 12 bows in her hair, eye shadow and lipgloss before heading out to look for him wherever we were. He talked to her all about his little sister (5) who has a pink saddle for her horse and that immediately endeared him to her. That and the fact that he noticed her pink cowgirl boots and pretty hair. She is all fashion and her love language is definitely words of encouragement. We could be in for it if any teenage boys figure this out later in life. To be fair, Julia did catch the fancy of Wild Bill and Wyatt Earp also. She is a very beautiful girl and they loved to listen to her talk in her little pixie voice.

Julia's prairie bonnet

Julia loves her new prairie bonnet and wore it at the fair this year. Aunt Debbie was so wonderful (and speedy) to make it for her. We'd been looking for one for awhile. Thank you, Aunt Debbie!
