Which one would you pick?

I am trying to decide on cute fabric for a blanket for our cute baby. The 3 fabrics below are the current options of what would be on the front of the blanket and there will be pink fleece on the back.

1)Fleece with big elephants.

2 Flannel with jungle animals

3) Smaller elephants, cotton (same design as the big elephants only smaller and on cotton)

4) Patchwork cotton. I'm not considering this one very seriously but I just thought I'd throw it in.

Idaho

This past weekend Chad and I went up to Idaho for Grandma Booth's 80th birthday party. I didn't do a very good job taking pictures but here's a few. Friday afternoon we drove up to Lava Hot Springs and went swimming. They have 2 really big water slides and a 60 ft platform to jump off of (as well as your typical diving boards and slides). I was a little jealous that everyone got to go on the big slides but I guess the well being of my child is more important ;)
After we went swimming, we went up to Grandma's property in Lava for dinner.


Here is a beautiful Idaho sunset.

On Saturday we had a big family breakfast and games at the park. If you know anything about Booth family parties, its that there ALWAYS has to be some form of water fight. Personally, I am not a fan of these kinds of shenanigans and I'm even less of a fan when I'm tired and pregnant. I was able to remain dry until right before leaving... then some of my cousins and uncles decided to gang up on me. Let's just say, I don't think they were expecting the "hostile" response they received.
The rest of the day was spent getting ready for Grandma's party and then attending the party in the evening. For some reason, pregnancy makes me a little more anti-social than I usually am but it was still a good party.
We made it home on Sunday in time to go to our 11:00 church and were sure to get into bed early that night.

Back to the Motherland

As most of you know, last week Chad and I got to go back to Omaha for my brother Brian's mission homecoming/ family reunion. The whole family got to come, which made for a very packed house, but that's the way we like it! :) We got to Omaha on Saturday night. On Tuesday we got to go to the zoo. Isn't Nathan a cute lion? Ethan and Chad were good buddies. They wandered all over the zoo together. Isn't he going to make such a cute dad? Wednesday was the big day. Mom's camera died when we got to the airport so she used my camera to take pictures of everyone waiting. As soon as Brian started coming up the walkway, my camera died too! Good thing Amy had one. Thursday we went to Zorinksky park. Chad and I went on a walk part way around the lake. This is a picture of when we sat down for a break. And for all those curious, here I am being 5 1/2 months pregnant. We took a picture of Chad at 5 1/2 months pregnant too but I won't put that one up ;) Nick was a very good swing pusher. Friday was the Pincock Olympics! We had a limbo contest... A watermelon eating contest... Chad got 13 pieces down and then ended up blowing watermelon out of his nose for a few days. (I know you all wanted to know that). We also had long jumping, bean bag throwing, a frozen t-shirt contest (you'll have to look at Amy's blog for pictures of that), a pinata and seed spitting.
(I have some awesome videos but for some reason I can never get them to upload)
Saturday we played nerf tag in the morning and then set up for Brent and Becca's open house. It was a great week and we were super sad to have to come home.
