Summer Fun!!!

I decided I better do a post of the last couple months. Baby #3 is coming in 2 1/2 weeks and once she comes I'm afraid I may never get my blog updated. Life is a little busy. Sorry for the constantly late pictures.

Bedtime stories with Papa.

I made these John Deere jammies for the girls for Christmas. I love that they actually wear them together. Kids are so much fun. Taiya is my gymnast. She's been doing these headstands everywhere. The problem is, she has no fear. She tried to do a headstand on our very top step. Nearly gave me a heart attack.

Brynne has had a bit of a rough summer. Beginning of June she nearly took the end of her pinky off in the toychest. After a late night ER visit, and an appointment to the hand specialist, they scheduled her for surgery. They put 10 stiches in to reconstruct the end of her pinky. I don't know who was more traumatized Brynne or me. It's sooooo sad to see your baby get hurt. Thankfully Brynne's pinky seems to be healing well. It has been a bit of an emotional summer for her.

Aaron's new truck. He seems to wear them out every 3 years. He traded his Chevy for a Ford. And he is obviously enjoying his new ride.
In June we were visiting my mom for Zack's wedding. Along with the food shopping, we showed the girls the beautiful Falls in Idaho Falls.

Brynne at Bear Lake, she had a great time. Her bandage didn't seem to hold her back from sand castles and fun.


Taiya entertained herself with snorkeling, swimming, jet skiing, and of course sandcastles.


We set up a large slip and slide in the backyard. Due to my growing belly, I couldn't really show the girls how it's done. After a lot of explaining Taiya actually figured out how to run and slide.
Brynne liked to dance and drink the water.

Just another dirtpile in the backyard. The girls and papa made it to the top of the mountain.


I love this picture!!!!
We finally made it over the mountains for our first camping trip this summer. We played in the river after a hot morning of dirtbike riding. Brynne set her chair right in the middle of the river .

The river had the perfect spot for a little river rafting. It was only eight inches deep but had just enough current to send Taiya down the river to Papa who was waiting to stop her before the real rapids started. I love that HAPPY FACE!!!!

Cute pictures! It looks like you've had a crazy/fun summer. It is so fun to watch your kids enjoy the great outdoors. There is so much for them to do all you have to do is turn them loose. You are doing an awesome job being a mom and pregnant this summer. You go girl!
