Independence Day

Dont let this little innocent face fool you... in this picture she looks like she is enjoyin the parade but in reality she was so onery and wanted nothin to do with it.. thats ok cause i "caught candy for her" but really ate it all myself haha

Love this picture of hazel!!


I love that pais is actually somewhat smiliing for a pic but jakes smile is my favorite!! haha such a good daddy!!
Always time for a family pic right? Exactly 7 months prego in this pic.... were on the countdown!






I sm soooooooo in love with this picture of Maddux!.. priceless right?!X
Cutest little brogen ever!! his smile makes my heart melt:)

July 4th is always so much fun in Gunnison! We went to the parade in the mornin and then hung out at the park for a few hours and then Jake took me to Salina to meet ryan and bri on there way from New Mexico so I got in the car with them and we headed over to kanosh. Jake had to work the next couple days so thats why I went over with them and to help my mom out the last couple days before Camilles wedding. It was so fun being home with Ryan and Bri and Jared and Shannon came up to so we got lots of catchin up done. Things were a little crazy at times gettin the yard ready and last minute wedding stuff done. My parents put in a huge play area for the kids with a swing set andd helicopter thing.. mini trampoline.. and sand box so it was so nice having that for the kids to just go outside and play.. Hope everyone had a great 4th!!

June

My sisters wedding announcement that Jake made! Didn't he do amazing?!

Arent they such a cute couple!

We had a shower for Camille and it was so fun! She got alot of ctute things and pretty much every gift was lingerie.. lucky girl! haha all the pics i got of her opening gifts were blurry and i'm so mad! Jake changes the settings on my camera and i forget to look before i take a pic and i'm so mad but now i check  but whatta ya do....


Pais and her cousin Dale watchin a movie.. isn't that the cutest?!
These pictures were taken when Pais was about 15-16 months and I think their hilarious.. she usually wakes up so so happy but this morning she just wasnt having it... it was hilarious!


Over the weekend ( Jun 28-29) we headed on up to YMCA Big Elk Creek Ranch in Idaho for our every 2 year Blad reunion. I LOVE the Blad reunions! Not only is it so good to see everyone and catch up but there is never a dull moment at these reunions. We did so many fun things! Every meal we had a different holiday-- so we celebrated Easter and had an egg hunt for all the kids, christmas and had a nice dinner and white elephant gift exchange, halloween and had a trick or treatin party, and the 4th of July where we had a nice patriotic devotional and rose the flag (which jake got to be apart of)... I loved the holiday idea! We also got to play games during the day... like latterball ( which by the way that pic of me I am 30 weeks.. holy belly i know) and we also played cards and we did a fear factor which was so so fun! If you notice in one of the pics above of my 2 uncles tryin to give a belly hit to each other... they had won their game of latterball... thats just how fun my uncles are. If I could only record the sound they all make when they all laugh.. its hilarious! being around them you would never have to ask yourself where i get my loudness from hahahaha... These reunions are the BEST and I am so excited for the next one which will be in WASHINGTON! woot woot! Cant wait for 2014! Love you all my Blad family!!

Couple weekends ago all of us Dyreng cousins got together and went up 12 mile camping. It was so fun to be with everyone and I wish we could only do it every weekend. Jake wishes he could live up there and has so many memories growing up on this mountain.. it was his second home. Cant wait until we get to go up again:)


 Anyways.. as you can see we have a a pretty busy month! I have been busy alot helpin my mom out with Camilles wedding comin up this weekend and its been so fun helping. Its goin to be so cute and my parents have done so much to their yard it looks so so good! I have also been busy getting the babies room together. We found some deals on ksl of the crib and changing table so I have recently been busy repaintin them and I ordered fabric to so I will be starting on the bedding after this wedding! I cant believe that in 2 months we will be meeting our little Briggs! Yep... we finally decided on a name and it feels so food.. We came down to Briggs and Emmett but Jake likes Briggs better so thats what it will be... We are getting so excited to meet him. He is constantly moving around but not quite as active as Pais was which I hope is a sign that he will be a more mellow child than miss Pais.. man oh man is she something else! I have been feelin really good except for the fact that I hate wearin clothes !! I am pretty sure that I am as big right now as I was with Pais when she was born which is funny cause i have gained about 17 lbs so far and with Pais I gained 30.. who knows though I could possibly gain 10 lbs the next 2 months.. I havent been to the doc in 10 weeks.. i was suppose to go 2 weeks ago to my new doc but medicaid has been so gay and I have to get things figured out with them until my doc will see me. I was thinkin about goin to Ogden to have him cause I heard good things but now I'm thinkin just Salt lake. which is closer to me but will see.. i hope everything is ok with since I havet been in awhile.!
Pais is at such a cute stage which i'm pretty sure I say that everytime I post about her. She is startin to say more words and is just turnin in to this little girl. Everyone has been telling me lately thats how much we will be amazed when our little guy is here and we will realize how big Pais really is. Anyways I am so excited for this week! On tues we will head down to Gunnison to go to Camilles endownment session, then wed is the 4th, thurs and fri I will be in Kanosh helpin out with last minute wedding things and hanging out with Ryan and bri, jared and shannon, celebratin my moms birthday on friday then sat is the wedding so this week will go by so fast!! But I live for weeks like this:) hope everyone is having the best summer so far!!

..."I believe in the family where there
is a husband who regards his
companion as his greatest asset and
treats her accordingly;
where there is a wife who looks upon
her husband as her anchor and strength.
The cultivation of such a home
requires effort and energy,
forgiveness and patience,
Love,
and, endurance, and sacrifice;
but it is worth all of these and more."....
