Quality Family Time...

Two of my sisters are pregnant right now with baby girls. Robyn, on the left and Rhonda, on the right. They are due a month apart. (P.S. No, I did not get the memo...) Well Robyn is getting induced on Friday and guess who gets to go meet her newest niece???? Seriously, you better have guessed me. It is a big deal they are both having girls because in our family there are 8 boys and only 2 girls--- so they are way evening out the odds. Besides the fact that Robyn has all three boys already. Two of them teenagers, one in terrible two's -so she has earned her GIRL!

I am so excited, not only have I not seen Robyn since last July (2007) but I am headed to Utah kid-free! Whaoo! Let's face it, every Mom needs a break from their kids once in a while, and really, I will be looking after Robyn's almost 3yr old while I am there. Why is it, taking care of someone else's kid is sometimes easier than watching your own? My Mom is coming too and will help her out afterward for a while, and then she has to come home and gear up for Rhonda's baby a few weeks from now!

Huge, giant, huge Thank You to my hubby for letting me go, and for letting me leave Berk and another enormous Thanks to Kelcie for watching my boys when Rusty is a work. Luckily, she is the best Auntie babysitter and nearly a second mother to them. And frankly, I think Berk likes her better than me anyway. I will post a photo of the newest Hodge as soon as I get back!

Oh, and because getting ready for a trip isn't fun enough already...

The Farnsworth gang came over for a swim. And after, while we chatted away, the boys had a grand old time 'shaving' with bath foam. By 'shaving' I think they meant 'have a full blown foam fight in the upstairs'. Honestly, ask Steph, I don't think there was a square inch of that bathroom that wasn't covered in goop. Luckily it wiped up easy, and the bathroom smells like strawberries. BOYS!

Caryn, I love catching up with your life! You've had a lot going on this summer! Do you love Mrs. Monsegur?
She's a friend of mine and I think she is the best teacher! Also, we should talk books. I loved the Twilight series... Breaking Dawn was soooo much fun! But I had a hard time with The Host. I did finish it but didn't get really into it.

Your sisters are so cute and prego. Yes, you definitely deserve a kid free break. I love Utah. Boys always get into mischief, especially together. They're so funny!

Oh how awesome for you! I've still missed the births of each of my nieces and nephews, so to be there when it happens must be such an exciting thought for you! (And to be kid-free yourself... bliss!) :)

Good luck Robyn -- and Caryn is right, you deserve that little girl!

Caryn -- keep us posted! I can't wait to see what the darling looks like!
