I'm officially 41 weeks. We are STILL waiting for this baby to come out. My midwife doesn't want me to go much longer, so I'm guessing if things don't come naturally, I'll be induced in the next couple of days. Blech.
Today I uploaded the pics off my phone and thought I'd give a "here's what's happened this summer" update according to the iPhone.
We have a picture of all the kids on this statue from every trip to the zoo. Here's the latest.
We have made trips up to Bear Lake to check on the cabin my parents are building. Norah is VERY helpful when it comes to choosing exterior paint colors.
The view is fantastic. I'm excited for it do be done.
We always spend some time in the gym after church while Landon chats in the hallway. Good times.
The kids' dance skills are improving.
All the food trucks in town gather at this plaza on Thursday afternoons. The plaza happens to be right by Landon's office so we sometimes meet for lunch and entertainment.
She's cute. Except for those lovely bangs she cut.
We discovered the best snow cone place around.
Norah is a decided carnivore.
This will always be one of my favorite views. Little feet hanging off the toilet.
We also love Liberty park.
The other day I couldn't find Annie. I finally found her just just standing in the rain. she's my little nature girl and I love it.
I made some divine apricot jam with apricots from our neighbors tree. It's like liquid gold, folks.
Norah responds to mosquito bites as well as Annie does. I better stock up on the bug repellent and benedryl.
All Utahns: check out the new Natural History Museum. We loved it!
Landon brought this home from work for me to wash. If you aren't going to eat the leftovers, please don't leave them in your office drawer for who knows how long. Gross.
To make up for that nasty picture, here's a delicious one. My favorite breakfast. Baguette with butter and apricot jam, rich hot chocolate, and fruit. Thank you, France, for teaching me that one. And thank you, mom, for watching the kids so Landon and I could enjoy this breakfast alone on the back porch.
Norah was pukey last week and spent a good amount of time with crackers and elmo.
And Aiden went rock climbing with Landon for his birthday and is a natural. Well done, Aido.
Cross your fingers that the next post is about our new baby!

Hoping for the best! We missed seeing you last week but loved being around your kids. They are so charming!
Fingers crossed. Guess you've just become too good at being pregnant. Hope the newest arrives soon.
I love these informal pictures of the kids. I love Aiden rock climbing. I love the view from the Bear Lake Cabin. Thanks for sharing. I hope that you have a great, productive week.
41 weeks is not a place I miss! Hope she comes tonight! Good Luck! We are spending a week in Utah starting August 5th and I want to come see you! Ill call soon.
I really like this post except that 2 things made me want to cry.... the term 41 weeks.... and Annie's bangs. Other than that, Love. it.
I know it's too soon for a blog, but I'm here checking anyway. I am DESPERATE for a picture and name. So, so excited to see the new baby girl Allred.
And I love all the photos. The mold picture is nasty, and something I have seen several times in my own sink. The tupperware always ends up in the trash. Annie's bangs are hilarious. Love little feet on the toilet, too. Unfortunately, if I took a picture of Lila like that, you would also see a stream of pee jumping the seat and landing on the floor.
I CAN NOT believe you went to 41 weeks and had to be induced . . . IN JULY!!!! You poor thing. That is far too long to be pregnant. I'm thrilled she is here now though and we are dying for you to get home so we can come meet her.
Also . . . we now have an official plan to visit Gallivan Plaza every Thursday afternoon after seeing the food trucks are there. I told Scott and he said, "Why hasn't anyone ever told me!!!!" I love that you guys have to hang out in the gym after church so Landon can talk. Who knew he was such a chatterbox? Like Mother, Like Son (and all of the rest of her children). Annie's bangs . . . oh so sad, but so funny too. The apricot jam looks absolutely divine. As in, sent from heaven above. Landon's tupperware does not. I hate when they bring those home. The view at Bear Lake is fabulous. How exciting! And finally, I can't believe Norah's cheek with that bug bite. Yikes.
And goodbye.
