Gateway

Me, Mom and Kara took the kids to discovery Gateway Museum and then let them play in the splash pad they have there. They had a lot of fun.

Brady, Nathan, Krissa and Jacee.

HEHE...Jacee will hate this.

Mouse House.

I have really been wanting to take Brooklyn to Build-a-Bear for a long time. I felt like she was finally old enough to enjoy it and Dad wasn't with us to tell us no.haha. With a little persuasion she picked Hello Kitty. I think the dang cat is the cutest thing ever! She doesn't love it as much as I hoped but I got it out of my system.

Here she is holding the heart and making a wish.

They all "bathed" the kitty.

Grandma Ann

I took the kids up to Grandma Ann's for a few days since it was the only week I didn't have anything going on and soon I will not want to travel being so pregnant. It was nice to get away. Thanks for everything mom!

Soakin up the Sun

Nathan took swimming lessons and did a great job.

Brooklyn took swimming lessons for the first time and was not afraid at all in fact she was a bit of a stinker. She kept swimming away from the teachers and laughing as they chased her. I don't think they thought she was funny. I assumed she would be to shy to be so mischievous but I was wrong. That smile never left her face while in the water so it was hard to get mad at her when she was having so much fun. She loves the water.

Brooklyn kept asking daddy for a pool and I knew he couldn't resist her for very long. Nathan couldn't resist getting in it either but soon realized it wasn't really as fun as it looked. The weather has been unusually nice (not too hot), so it has been nice.

This baby better be big. Haha. Still have a month left...

Rainbows and Watermelon

My handsome boy.

We showed Brooklyn this rainbow and when she finally seen it she said "Whoa, who made that?" How cute is that? I love that she loved to look at it. Nathan answered her by saying "Heavenly Father made it." So he gets cute points too. It was very pretty outside last night with the combo of sun, rain, thunder and rainbows.

Poor Brookie has been a prisoner in her own home as of recently. Because of too many successful escapes and trips to various neighbors homes I resorted to buying door locks that are Brookie proof. She is not happy being cooped up, but she is safe. Whenever someone goes out in the garage she will open up the little cat door and stick her little hand out of it and yell something like "Where are you going? Can I come out out too? I won't run away. Can I ride my bike?" But don't let those big blue eyes fool you...she will run away and you will have to run down the street to catch her.

Grandmda Defa has gotten us hooked on watermelon, we have been eating it ever since they left. You have got to love summer.

I just thought it was so sweet of my children to be so thoughtful on my birthday that I had to post it. Just when you think they are going to drive you crazy they do something sweet. Jacee made me pancakes from scratch in the shape of a 34, and he made me a birthday banner. Nathan insisted on cooking dinner but when Marco brought dinner home he decided to decorate the table. Brooklyn told me it was her birthday and wanted a Barbie cake. She is still in the selfish stage I guess. Marco was very sweet as well and even brought me home a cake!
