Lately

 Hope you have been enjoying your summer!  It was pretty hot here last week so we enjoyed the pool as much as we could!  The boys are getting so much better in the water!  Here is what has been going on with us... 

Carson and Gabe playing Lego's on the front porch.  7.10.12

We caught two grasshoppers in one day!  Here, the boys are checking out their friend, Hopper.

  7.11.12

Pool time!  Gabe asks all of the time if we can go in the "cool."  They are jumping from the ladder and ducking under the water a bunch now.  7.11.12

Carson pulled out his top tooth!  7.14.12

Trever is the white spot spying on the Coyote that visits.  He is behind the far right bush, in the shade.  7.15.12

The Coyote walking from one bush towards the creek.

Carson and Gabe on their new bunk beds!  7.16.12

After the first night in the bunk beds, we are all tired!  Gabe was up several times to have his nose blown and needing a little comfort.  Carson was up, b/c Gabe was up.  Trev and I were up b/c Gabe was up.  Needless to say, we survived the first night and are looking forward to more sleep!  :)

I am about 7 weeks away from being able to meet the baby!  And we are so excited!  These last 33 weeks have gone by fast (looking back)!  I am happy we are able to be outside enjoying play time and pool time!  And this cooler weather this week is great!

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Lately

4th of July.

We have been busy...

By trying to keep the house cool.
Enjoying the kiddie pool, even in the hot summer mornings.
Playing in the sprinklers.


Going to the Reservoir in Lithia Park for evenings of eating and soccer playing.



Walking to the Band Shell to listen to the Ashland City Band play.

And most of all enjoying the wonderful attitude of Carson! He has been such a help lately. I have really noticed a change this week. Helping me when I ask, sharing with Gabe, talking more "grown up," being very sweet, and reading lots of books with us and on his own. I know every mom thinks their kids are the bestest and cutest, but this Mama is just so filled up with love for her little boy. He is just over 3 1/2 now and is seeming to much older to me. Amazing!

Hope you guys are enjoying time outside with your family. I know it is hot, but remember in the dead of winter, with rain and clouds we will want these days to be here. So, make the best of it!!!

Aloha.

Picnic Weather

It is finally here! Picnic weather! YAY!

We packed up some food last night and headed out to a local park to eat and play around with the boys.

A great time was had by all. Carson ran around a lot, played and enjoyed the swing. Gabe was very cautious about the grass (even though he did have sandals on) and the bark. He is a funny little guy. He also enjoyed the swing a lot.

I know, I know!

I know spring in Southern Oregon means close to 70* one day and the next day is cloudy, rainy and cold, but I am so ready for a change! I am freezing right now!

Yesterday I went through my closet to actually weed out the shirts that I have had and not worn for the last 2 or 3 years. I am to a point where I actually want to get things cleaned out some and stop saving things to wear one day. If I am preggers it might fit, or smaller it might fit...blah blah blah.

I am really ready for 70* weather. Are you?

Aloha.
