Sweet Child of Mine

Dal and I got to go our 20 week ultra sound a couple weeks ago. We went in pretty much at a loss as to whether is was a boy or a girl. It seemed like it was split down the middle with our families. Most of my fam thought girl and most of Dals thought boy. We would have been tickled with either. I think in the back of our minds we were wondering if he was going to tell us it was twins. But nope, just one. One beautiful, healthy baby Girl! We were both so happy with the good news and had so much fun announcing it to our families. Now our lives are already starting to fill up with all things little girl!

Halloween

It was so fun to have my fam at Mariettas party.

Dal, Me and baby Capri!
This was such a fun costume.

We had a great Halloween this year as always, filled with lots of parties. We decided Halloween night we would invite our families up for a party for something different. We had lots and I emphasize LOTS of yummy food and hot cider. We had fire pit out in the drive way and had a great time just visiting and seeing all the cute kids and their costumes. We also enjoyed our costumes that Lindsey made for us. So... if you didn't already know you do now, we have bun in the oven and are so excited!

Lagoon

Dal's Dads work paid for all of their employees and their families to go to Lagoon this summer. I love to go to Lagoon once a summer and I especially love to go when it's free since it costs and arm and a leg to get into that park anymore. We had so much fun, we don't have little kids in the family so we were able to move pretty quick and hit all the wild rides. I don't know if any of you are like me but I don't want to be a chicken so I get on the rides like the rocket. Then as soon as they lower the safety vest I think oh four letter word and wonder why I do this to myself! I have also developed a weak stomach. Every day I see myself turning more and more into my mom:) Hopefully we can turn Lagoon Day into a tradition because we had so much fun with all of us! Then every year we can take pics of all the scary people we see and turn it into a book kinda like the one they have of all the Wal Mart people:)

Cleve Hyrum Swenson

All the fallen Vets flags. Such a beautiful sight!

My dad raising the flag at the ceremony on the 4th.

My sweet Grandpa Cleve passed away back in May. I am embarrassed that I am posting this so late, but better late than never. It was sad to see him go but I was so happy to know he was going to see his sweetheart Helen again. I can only imagine what a wonderful reunion that was. I loved my Grandpa so much and was so proud to be his Granddaughter. Some of the things I loved about old Clever were, he was a true cowboy, his love for his community and his country, he was always full of compliments and he always had a fridge full of Diet Coke and a box full of Hershey Bars.

Cleve was a paratrooper in WW2 and has some of the most amazing stories about his time in the service. Over the 4th of July they honored him and other vets at a service at the cemetery. I took some really neat pics of all the crosses of the fallen soldiers. It was such a neat site to see all of their flags blowing in the wind.
I love you so much Grandpa, thanks for making me proud to be a Swenson and proud to be and American. I will miss you.
