Swimming Fun!

This weekend we celebrated our friend Michael's (Uncle Woody) birthday by going over to his place, having cake and ice cream, giving him cards and swimming!  The kids did excellent in the pool this time too!  I'm so proud of them!

Here are two videos!

I'm so happy the kids are starting to enjoy the pool water finally!

I am at 31 weeks in my pregnancy!  Whew time and flown by!

Baby is healthy and I was just told to take it easy the rest of this pregnancy!  Ok I can try!

Our fun week with Kadence, Lilly & Ben Part 2!

So Wednesday night we were suppose to play with play dough, do bubbles and paint our nails.  But we had something come up.  I thought possibly my water broke.  So Aunt Angie came home from work so Matt could take me to the hospital to see if it was my water or not.  We got to Good Sams and were told that if it was indeed my water they'd have to transport me to Saint Vincents.  I'm only 30 weeks.  Luckily it was a false alarm and I was sent home. I see my OB again Monday.  So thank goodness, baby is still gonna be baking!

My sister came down to get Kadence, but not before we had some fun making our garden stones!

As you can see the girls did fantastic!  They are currently setting.  Ben has one, but he was cranky and had to nap so we will do his later!

Then we put temporary tattoos on the girls and I painted their nails and toenails!

Here is our pup Maisy.  She is almost 7months old now!  Getting big!

Before Kadence has to go home, I got some cute shots of the girls together!

We had SO much fun having Kadence for a week!  Lilly didn't want her to leave!  Can't wait to have her (and maybe her sister Kaylea too) again!

Our fun week with Kadence, Lilly & Ben Part 1!

We got to have our niece Kadence down for a whole week!  The first part of the week, we kept them pretty busy!  First we went and did some swimming!

Then we did something REALLY fun. We had ice cream for dinner!  Yes you read that right, ice cream for dinner!!

Then we had a blast and went to the Portland Oregon Zoo and saw some neat animals and even saw their dinosaur exhibit! Click HERE to visit the Zoo's website!

The next day we decided to do some berry picking!  While we did some, it ended early due to two little girls attitude problems! Click HERE to visit the berry fields web site!

Later that day we took the kids to see Dispicable Me.  The kids did great and it was a great movie! Click HERE to check out this movie!

Next was making our foam princess crowns and in Ben's case a blue pirate visor!

Once Ben was napping, the girls and I painted our princess magnets and made sun catchers!

The girls (including Aunt Angie) really enjoyed themselves that first part of the week. :)

29 Weeks and Baby lovebird!

Well I'm finally 29 weeks! (currently 30 as I'm writing this, I'm slacking!)  Baby is doing great!

 

Our baby love bird we have is doing awesome as well!  Here it is at about three weeks old.

And now it's a month old!  Eating some seed and millet on it's own finally!

We also today had two new baby dove eggs hatch! :)

Fourth of JULY!

Hello Friends and Family!

 

We hope you had a safe yet fun Fourth of July!  We didn't get up north like we wanted to, but we had a small get together down here at home!  Here are some photos!

We bbq'ed and had a picnic outside since it was a beautiful day here in Oregon for us!

 

And as usually the boys, were being boys!

Ben loved the little pop it's you can throw at the ground and they pop!

The kids enjoyed their sparklers with the help from adults!

At one point we ticked off Ben. Got some great photos of it! ;)

The kids had fun that day.  Ben crashed before the night time fireworks, but Lilly was able to stay up!

It was a blast!
