July 2010

I cannot believe that today is the last day of July! Where has the time gone?? It is flying by over here.  I am trying to keep up on my blog as much as I can.  My computer broke and I haven't gotten it fixed yet so I have been using Dave's.  I do not usually upload pictures to his computer but I finally did the other day.  

Here are some pictures of the last month. I will hopefully take a bunch over the next couple of days.  We are going camping to Kingdom Bound at Darien Lake.  We are so excited to go.  Not sure how long we will last or how it will all go with a baby but...we plan on having a great time! Stop by or call us if you are going to be there! 

The boys being silly!

Hopey sneaking in the boys picture!

I love Isaiah's smile in this one!

The only pictures I have of Dave's family here....so sorry!  But I do LOVE this one!

So patriotic!

T-ball.  It was ok.  Seriously someone needs to start a sports program for kids 4 and up....where they actually play a game!!

So cute! I love how Hope always tells me what Micah is doing...Mommy...Micah's touching my knee! LOL!

Grandma and Tyler!

My kiddos...they love taking pictures with Micah....but they also love to make silly faces too!

Girls lunch with Ashley and...

Dani!! We had so much fun!! I laughed so hard! Love you girls!

Cousin photo shoot again! I feel I need to do this to keep comparing them.

We thought Tyler looked really small because he kept pulling his legs up. 

Mommy and Micah!! I LOVE him!

Seriously..look at that smile:)

Daddy and Micah!

Continued from above LOL! So we pulled his legs down and now they look about the same length.  I guess next time I should measure their thighs...Micah definitely has him beat!! LOL!

It's the Dad Life

I forgot to share this last week...but it makes me laugh so hard every time I watch it!! So true!!! LOL!!!

Swim Lessons

We started swim lessons last week with the kids.  It is two weeks long. 

Isaiah LOVES it. He is doing great! At first I thought they were just going to play like at the YMCA, but they are really teaching him.  Now at home he is really determined to swim on his own.  He swims in the hot tub back and forth and from the hot to the side of the pool.  He is really getting good and is so strong.  We did have one incident where he slipped off the step and I had to jump in clothes, cell phone and all....but he got right back in.  He still does not like to go under water though. 

Hope...well let's just say she is not going any more.  She lasted two days (really not even one.) She went with them and was doing great and then she just started to cry.  They really tried everything to get her to do it.  But after the second day when she just cried the whole time, I gave up.  Every time we get ready to go she cries and says she doesn't want to.  I tell her she is not swimming because they don't like criers (tried the reverse psychology thing) but it doesn't bother her at all.  I was shocked because she LOVES the pool and is so daring and tries everything! Oh well, in our pool now she is in just arm floaties and jumps in and goes under water.  She is doing amazing!!! I guess she just wants me to be close and nobody she doesn't know to be around.  

I am so proud of them! They are getting so big!!

Silence equals busy!

I have been very silent on my blog lately and I am sorry for that.  We just have been busy.  You know...3 kids and lots of family visiting.  

Dave's family always comes in for the 4th of July.  It was so great to have them here.  We all had such a great time and we were sad to see it come to an end.  I would post pictures but I was too busy to take any...LOL! But both of my sister-in-laws took pictures so I will wait for them to post them. (wink wink:) 

We also got to spend a little time with my Aunt Kathy and Uncle Sig while they were here.  They are always so fun to be around and always make me laugh.  Dave took us for a ride in this 6 seater thing back in the woods.  It was fun but lots of bugs...I think I swallowed one...YUCK! And my poor Aunt kept getting hit with all the trees! Maybe it was just the driver. LOL!

We didn't get to see some of our family because Hope and Micah ended up with pink eye (or salt and butter eyes...LOL!) and Hope and Isaiah had swimmers ear too.  They are all feeling better now but I do not like it when they are sick.

I am posting this right now because I was sick last night...I am feeling better now but taking it slow and staying away from the kids.  It was horrible and I hope it is gone.  I am trying to muster up some energy to go shower and hopefully that will make me feel even better! 

Hope you all are enjoying your summer!
