Our Weekend

The theme of the weekend was "sprinkle" I think....

We headed down to Bill and Laura's for the weekend. We were one of just a few cars headed that way to celebrate (and witness) Connor being baptized.

We made a stop at Mimi and Poppops (April's first time at their house) for lunch and nap time on Friday afternoon.



Then, we arrived at our destination right in time for dinner & fun outside. It was hot, so it was great that Bill had the pool set up outside. The Sprinkler was purchased especially for the weekend. And there were a few people that had a lot of fun:



Did you think I meant Chloe? :)

They even did some jumps:



And then someone decided to grab a little girl to make it look like the Sprinkler was not just for the adults :)





As if the weekend weren't already packed full, we participated in the neighborhood garage sale:

There were only a "sprinkling" of customers, but nothing ended up back in the house and somehow we have a new vegetable steamer....But who cares how many customers you have if you get to hang out with this happy boy all day? :)

Chloe made a new friend, Selah, and spent Saturday afternoon in the pool with her making 'soup'. Selah was very patient with Chloe....


at this point, Chloe was exhausted....and we still had one more day left - the most important day!

Laura and I actually got to sit down for a few minutes of quiet on Saturday night and took some pictures of our kiddos - they received Christmas stockings & we took their picture together.....April looks like she's ready to fight!




Sunday arrived and we got ready for church (this cutie looked like a baby doll in her little pink dress!)

The service was great & Connor did a good job in front. He was a little shocked when he got "sprinkled", but who wouldn't be? It was great to be there supporting Bill and Laura ~ we vowed to help raise Connor and we'll try to do our best :)

We had a lunch afterward....This pretty much sums up how Chloe felt:

and how Bill and Laura felt (ha!! just kidding, although we all had moments where we wanted to be making the same face as Bill!)

and just because she never takes a bad picture...."Chelle" :)

We had a great weekend and made it home for bedtime on Sunday night! We were exhausted after our first weekend away with two children, but we wouldn't have missed it & would do it again :)

Camping Trips #2 and #3

At the beginning of August, we went on a camping trip with my immediate family. We had great campsites, right next to each other, and had fabulous weather. Chloe had a great time hanging out with her Aunt Laura, Uncle Bill, and Aunt Michelle: She also loved my dad's cell phone ringtone: Who says you can't eat great food while you're camping? Check out our dinner feast on Saturday night....Corn on the cob, cheeseburgers, grilled pineapple: Chloe had her first taste of the "beach" when we went to the lake one day. It was the first time she was in the sand, and I think she really liked it! When looking back at the camping pictures, I realized that Chloe wore a lot of hats on this trip: We got back from a Cousins Camping Trip on Sunday night. (Almost) All my cousins got together for the weekend and we had a great time. Another camping trip with good campsites and this time we just had okay weather. It rained Saturday night so everything was a bit soggy on Sunday ...

34 Weeks

34 weeks and my belly button has popped out :)  haha!  I'm still feeling a lot of movement and today my doctor said everything was great.  Here's some info on our "Baby Brother", as I refer to this little guy with Chloe and April: Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds ( about the size of a cantaloupe ) and is almost 18 inches long. His fat layers — which will help regulate his body temperature once he's born — are filling him out, making him rounder. His skin is also smoother than ever. His central nervous system is maturing and his lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor , you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
