9 Months Pregnant

For the life of me I couldn't tell you what day the first Pilgrims landed in Maryland. No clue. But if you ask when the Pioneers arrive in the Great Salt Lake Valley? Oh, July 24, 1847. Yeah. It's a Utah thing.

To celebrate the holiday we tied rag dolls, dipped candles, and made homemade butter. And we took these awesome pictures.


See? I'm nine months pregnant. It's boy. Pioneers generally didn't know the gender, but I do. Because the balloon is blue.

And I thought the Pilgrims went to Plymouth. (Mass.)

Didn't some Catholics settle Baltimore?

Anyhow, very funny pictures.

Was this a ward activity? Such fun pictures! And I like how you are wearing glasses in one picture, but not in the other. Like you were trying to be authentic and then decided, it's not worth it...I have to be able to see. :) Oh, and I see you share my serious-face-makes-me-look-depressed trait. Sam's serious face just looks serious. You (and me) look like the world is about to end, just because we aren't smiling. It totally stinks.

That sounds like a lot of fun! I was actually considering trying to make my own butter the other day.
I love the pictures! They look pretty for-real!

Oh yeah, we are planning on coming down to the Baker Reunion Friday... who's all going to be there?

Oh I still love these pictures. I love the watermelon, and p.s I agree having lissa would have been the greatest ever. Haha. Oh my.

The things you come up with! You know, I've never made butter. Maybe you can show me how someday, aye?

Janae, you look like you're about to kill the photographer. ;) I guess birthing a balloon will do that to you. Love Enoch's face.
