July Festivities

We have been having fun doing all things summer. We are glad that it is finally here now that it is the middle of July!

Playing in the sprinkler with friends.

Getting warm on the sidewalk.

For the 4th of July we went to a fun potluck breakfast and then to a potluck BBQ later in the day. We set off some fireworks at their house and then went to the big show later on.
Kason loved the fireworks...



...Asher did not. He hated them, which really surprised me. I think it might have been due to the fact that it was way, way, WAY past bedtime after a fun filled and busy day. When we went to the big firework show later we sat in the back of our van, but Asher wasn't having anything to do with them. He climbed over the seat and laid on the floor and didn't move the whole time, except to sit on Isaac's lap a little bit and look for Buzz Lightyear fireworks.

Ready for summer. He loves his glasses.

Relaxing together

Kason just finished taking swim lesson for the first time. He has been pretty cautious about water in the past, but did great and is ready for the next level. He had a great teacher and LOVED going.


He holds his breath long before he goes under the water

Going under was a big step! And he can hold his breath for 4 or 5 seconds now.



Our friends pulled out their slip n slide and the kids had a blast as they were thrown down the slide.



Isaac is almost done teaching for this summer block too! Woohooo!

Oh My

We found out what we are having!
We went in thinking maybe a girl, probably a boy. We'd be happy either way.
Most importantly, everything looks healthy!
During the ultrasound the legs were crossed, she told me to cough a couple times...
and...
it's a...
GIRL!!!

Aaahhh! We are excited! And nervous. I love having my boys and I'm glad to have had two next to each other, and I think it will be good to have a girl now too. I'm feeling
overwhelmed, but excited as I get into the pink, and bows, and dresses mindset!

Asher was pretty oblivious to it all, but Kason got a big grin on his face when we told him what the baby was; he would have been happy with either. His suggestion for a name is usually "Whippy". Right now that's about the best we've got. :)

She's going to have two big brothers to keep up with,


and who will take such good care of her!
