Summer Break is Here!

Finally the kids are on summer break because they had so many snow days to make up at the end of the year in June. I'm happy to hear that the district will work snow days in to the actual school year rather than tack them on at the end of the year this next school year.
The kids are excited for school to be out for the summer. To be honest, me too. I like being able to not have to rush and make sure the girls are getting ready. Now they can get up and take their time getting dressed AFTER breakfast. I usually get up around 6:30 or 7 to exercise before I get the kids breakfast. But this past week I haven't started my exercises till around 8 or 9!



So now the summer fun can begin as we enjoy the warmer weather.


Aidan and Olivia swimming at Grandma's.
Olivia looks like a little fish as she keeps going under water.
Aidan is trying to get brave and put his face in the water.
He'll get there. He can get up to his mouth and nose in.

Tyler loves the water. He really wears me out. He's constantly out of the pool just to jump
right back in. You better be watching or he jumps in and plummets under. Amazingly,
he knows how to hold his breath. 

Lindsey is at home in the water. She's all over the pool and off the diving board. 

Tyler got so tuckered out he crashed on the couch. 
Poor guy asked me to lay him there.

I love the brotherly love these two have for each other.
I've seen them both kiss the other while one was asleep, like here.
When they are excited to see the other they'll give each other the most
adorable hug. They're good buddies. They were definitely meant to be 
here in our family together.


Playing on Grandma's playground




We go to the park down the road from us and play with friends.

We're glad to have the leisure days to do what we want.
But that won't last once Jaime's off from work for break. We have lots of trips scheduled in just the short few weeks he has off.
So there will be more to read! Stay tuned...

SURPISE!!!!

Yes, this is true. And yes....this will be our newest addition to the family. You think you're surprised! Just imagine how surprised I was! Big time let me tell you. And in case you are wondering, I am just starting my first week of month number five. Yes, I am in my second trimester already. Hard to believe it's really gone that fast. I haven't been sick at all. It's been very nice. I could easily not know that I was pregnant because I don't feel like I am. This explains why I haven't been sick. It's a boy. I wasn't sick with Aidan either. I kind of figured it was a boy and this morning confirmed that it was. Here's the little guy in action. , We got up a little after 6 a.m. and got ready to head to the hospital. My mom showed up at 6:45 to watch the other three at home for us. Thanks Mom! We got to the hospital and you know the rest of the story there...boy. :) Everything looks to be good from what we saw but someone else will look

Living Life Day to Day

My kids are wonderful. They are growing up into wonderful children. I love them so much. We've been very busy with this and that recently. This will be a long recap of some of what's been going on. :) The Primary Program was Sunday Sept 22. (I forgot to get a picture of them on that day but I did get pics of them the previous Sunday.) All four of them memorized their parts and stood at the microphone to say them without any hesitation at all. They were cute to watch singing the songs. Aidan was funny to watch with his gestures and making a heart with his hands through some of the songs. My parents and grandparents were able to come and watch. It was a special treat for the kids to have them there.  The Sunday this picture was taken there were hundreds of yellow butterflies all over the purple flowering bushes. It's hard to see them but on the left you can see one up close.  Tyler had his first talk in primary the Sunday after the program. He stood up to the mi

The Past Week...

Image
This past week has been a pretty laid back one. I've been getting things done on my own schedule...whenever I feel like it. Haha! Took the boys to the library, I've been making time (a.k.a. not working) to read a book for my own enjoyment, planted some flowers, made a few trips to the park with the kids, done a bit of shopping (grocery shopping at Winco is a lot of work with just me and the boys and I really have to gear up for it.), and I have been playing Sorry and Hi Ho Cherry O with Aidan quite a bit. So I have been busy just not with the normal stuff that keeps me busy on a daily basis.  I love browsing Costco with Jaime and my kids in the evening of a week day. It's not very crowded then. If there's a fun movie on the TVs we like to stop and watch a little. We stopped to watch a bit of the Avenger's in 3D...hence Aidan's glasses. :) I spent a day at Mom's with the boys. It was fun to be there with her and visit and do stuff like we used t
