Alright, so it isn't even the end of July. Still, i have so many pictures to post, that I figured I would get ahead so the next post isn't a two hour gallery of the whole summer.
It is 80 degrees outside right now. Such a relief from the last week, but, it s only10:45 in the morning. I know whats coming..and it's ugly. We got out early to the park today. Tanner park, by my grandmas house. For most of hte time, we had the park to ourselves. The a cute little 2 year old named Freddy and his grandma joined us. Elliott and Freddy palyed while Sam found the sprinklers and I blew bubbles for everyones enjoyment. After Sam had a swing slammed in his face and was knocked to the ground, we decided we had enough, and came home.
As Sam naps, Elliott plays Zelda and I blog, glancing often into my freshly painted insanity of a kitchen. It is actually quite awesome. Just needs some decor....
It is green to say the least. Elliott was very helpful in painting the large wall with the roller, and sticking his hand directly in the paint…. A few times. But he is very excited and he says I chose the perfect color. He is so smart.
Yesterday we took a trip to the Kennecot mines (Ian's idea). It was free admission, and an early Monday morning, so we thought, why not. Well, apparently so did a lot of other people. Still, it was pretty amazing to see it in real life, instead of just across the valley every day. Elliott was infatuated with the gigantic trucks , and Sam, well I don’t think he cared about anything there. He did a lot of people watching. He is good at that.
A few weeks ago we took our first hiking trip with the kids. Yea, I know. First one, and its already halfway through the year….. Well, it’s been a little difficult to get our schedules in sync, and I don’t dare go with the boys alone. Sam is all adventure, and he keeps my hands more than full. Plus, I haven’t been feeling so hot until the last month really, ya know cuz the baby and all. OH YEA! That! I knew there was something important I wanted to mention here…..
Half way done already with being pregnant. I still forget the majority of the time as I am pretty busy. Night time is when me and the little one get out ''connection time''. I read or write, and he does all night gymnastics. So far we have decided on the name Isaac Ian, but there is always time for change. I can not WAIT to see what this little guy looks like. To me, his ultrasound profile looks so much like Elliotts.
(pretend there is a cute ultrasound picture of the baby here.
I hate this blog system.)
(then, pretend there is a picture of Elliott on his new bike here)
I’m am still loving being out of school. I like the time I get to spend with my kids, without the constant stress of trying to find time to get school work done. It is great also to finally have time to dedicate to writing. So far, the book is coming along really well. I am working on getting the boys room put together. I think I need to make a trip to IKEA. We have bunk beds in their room now, though I don’t dare let Sam out of his 'cage' yet…. I’ll keep him in there as long as I can. Elliott sure likes them though. I remember how much fun I had on bunk beds when I was a kid….. like falling off and breaking my arm. Good times.
Alright. Enough chit chatting. Gotta leave room for pictures.
