Pink or Blue?

First things first, I'll bate the hook, and explain my question "pink or blue" at the end~
So, Bear Lake, love this place! The water is PERFECT for the kids, and it was great weather.
Charlie liked the water more then Lucy, and had a great time soakin up the rays.
Jeff gets the biggest kick out of tossing these kids in the air. This is on the way UP.
I swear, he gets them nearly to the moon.
Again, Charlies best friend, the box, and some licorice...but this is the before picture...
and this is after. The poor boy got carried away, with his licorice, and tipped right over.
Because he was sticky from the licorice, the sand stuck to EVERYTHING. This is even after Karma had brushed him off. Poor thing just wanted his licorice back.
Ahh...just look at this place. Love it.
Lucy kept very busy with the water at the camp ground. She realized that her belly fit much better under it, then her mouth did.
Sitting under a tree, hoping the rain will stop soon, it NEVER did.
Look, she DOES have hair!
Chars is growing so fast! Already 8 1/2 months!!
Lucy loving the bounce house at one of our friends dinner parties.
Yes, that is a bow in her hair, WITH an elastic! She is SO darling! I have just gobbled her up!
Such a fun age, and just a great girl! Love love LOVE her!
She is a bit of a sissy. We had going to see the ducks at Sugarhouse, and if she wasn't hiding behind me, she was running from the ducks. Can't blame her, they are a bit aggressive.
ok ok ok.
Thought this picture was so cute.
Just after lunch one day. One pink, and one blue, and come March, we'll have
one more bib hanging dry in our kitchen!
Baby Sanders #3 is on the way!!! March 04, 2010.
All 3 kids will each be 14 months apart, and we consider our self's pretty darn lucky.
I'm just about over the morning sickness (it usually lasts about 12 weeks,
but its lingering longer this time) and I already can't wait to wear the cute maternity clothes, ONE MORE TIME!!

MOON LAKE!!

Well, we made it....without Jeff.
Its the annual Sloan trip up to Moon Lake.
My dad has been coming since he was a boy scout,
and we truly have come every year since, with exception to maybe 3 years!
It was much anticipated, and we had a great time!!!
The Beck kids were great entertainment for Lucy and Charlie!!
Oh, this is our cabin, #1. Perfect for the 3 of us.
Charlies best friend, a card board box! This kid was in this thing nearly the whole time!
I was thrilled with his delight in such a simple object. Honestly, I was just thrilled with
anything that he did, if it wasn't needing attention.
We told Brig to give Lucy a hug, and well, here you go! What a man!
The hunt for the treasure.
We hide one every year, usually on our hike to the headwaters.
Lucy discovered her running abilities! We might make a soccer player out of her yet!
Charlies second favorite entertainment, the bjorn.
No, the water was not that warm, it never is.
But I remember when I was little SWIMMING in it.
Lucy loved LOVED the beach, and just being a mess all day! Ahh, vacation.
She is truly such a sweet girl!
She is such a delight, and I cannot get enough of her fun personality!
Yep, did these too. The sink baths. Chars and Luce loved 'em. Oh, and were they ever needed!!
Need I say more?
It was not sunny most beach days, nor was it warm, but that never stops the fun!
Oh my heck, love this place!
Just one morning, waiting for the fun to begin.
Shucking corn for one of the many tasty dinners!!
Why does food always taste SUPER when you're camping?
We had a great time, and hope that next year will be just as great!!
This was at the Bountiful International Folk Festival. Lucy adoring the beautiful belly skirts....
she may be onto something here...
Look at this character! He is going to town on the cracker. I love this stage.
Chars has been a much harder kid then Lucy.
He needs more, and what he needs, he needs NOW!!
We'll get him figured out, but in the mean time, just continue shoving him full of crackers!
This was one of his first times in the booster seat. Love it!
And he seems to love the endless cheerio supply that resides on his tray!
