Our summer so far...

Okay Okay... I can take a hint. So here I go in attempts to update as best I can. It is a daunting task for me, as is anything nowadays. Might be the heat, might be that I am now 30 weeks prego and can barely make it up my stairs... So the thought of sitting at the computer, going through a million pic's to decide which one's I look the best in, is scary. Needless to say, the summer so far has been great. I cannot complain. We've done some fun stuff, celebrated both the kids' birthday's, and have enjoyed (or I should say 'endured') the heat of summer so far! For the sake of time and space, I am going to collage some of the main trips we've done this summer.

To get a better look at the pictures just click on the collage. Just don't look TOO closely!

{Trip to Yellowstone, Jackson, and the Teton's with the Wiley's}

{More of Yellowstone}

{Here at Kepler Falls, Yellowstone. Did I mention that we did Yellowstone in one day? Yep we were in the car a total of about 14 hours..but the kids were phenomenal the whole time! Emily said she will remember being in the car during our Yellowstone trip!}
July is such a busy birthday month in our families! We were a bit birthday'd out, since I was nice and gave each child their own party plus a combined party with family. How we ever timed their special day only 4 days apart is beyond me.. However, it was a success, the kids loved every minute of each celebration. Thanks friends and family for making it such a memorable year for them!!

{And here is our 6 year old!!!}

{Proud little 3 year old!!}

{Loved the "combined" cake, it was much easier this way..}

{Excited for her new bike! We are hoping the training wheels come off this year..}

{Easton loved his party at the park!}

{Love this smile!}

{G-ma Wiley got Emily rocks for her collections!}

{Emily's party, slip-n-slide, and pinata were a hit!!}

{And last but not least, my big belly! Excited for the new arrival coming in Sept}
We've been ultra-busy, with work, and play, and are grateful for the opportunities that we have. I cannot even begin to understand how our lives will change once baby is born, we are so excited and nervous for the change. The countdown has begun, and I think that might be a bad thing since every week seems to take longer and longer. I am just thankful for my family, and for being a mom, it brings lots of smiles and laughter. We are hoping to get through a couple more camping trips, before the end of September, and maybe somewhere in there we will get things ready for the baby!! Oh and maybe I will be more on top of getting this here blog updated! =)
