Catching Up!

Ok, I would like to say that I have an excuse as to why I have not updated things on here, but I do not. I let life get in the way but so very much has happened I will try to catch up as much as I can. Things with my pregnancy are going very well. The baby is developing and growing as she should. ;) I only have about 5 1/2 weeks left until I get to meet this little one and we are all very excited! I don't think Karlee knows what is coming and I do not think she will be very happy once she finds out. This summer has been a very good one so far! We have gotten to play with Nana and Papa and visit with family! We have gotten a few projects around the house done and we have plans to finish a few more. So far we have put all new seed in our back yard, refinished a dresser for the girls room, fixed the threshold to our front door, and reorganized the basement. We have plans to paint the banister, kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities, and redo the flooring in the bathrooms.
   Some of the many fun things we have done this summer have included an obstacle course with Nana and Papa, 4 wheeling in Papa's new side by side 4 wheeler, Lagoon, (which we have not been to in about 4 years because Grayson was too scared to ride the rides. Well not anymore!), swimming, seeing Finding Dory, as well as many play dates visits with friends and family as well as cookouts and mallow roasts. I have some pics
     This summer Jared has really gotten into running. It all started with his brother Jeff. A little over a year ago Jeff asked Jared if he would run a Ragnar race with him in May. Jared agreed and started training. Jared's very first race was Ragnar in Zions National Park. If you know anything about Ragnar it is intense. It is a team relay race where each team member runs 3 different legs of the race in a 24 hour period. This was Jared's very first race. Since then Jared has run several different 5k races and has plans to run a 10K next week. I am glad Jared has found something he loves to do.

This is how  Grayson slept one night. I guess he got bored in the middle of the night. 

 Mommy's last day of work for the summer the kids asked if they could run in the sprinklers. They had fun and the neighbor kids joined them.

 Grayson's Field day at school. Because I was done teaching for the summer I was able to volunteer for the day. It was fun to see Grayson play with his friends from school.

 Grayson's last day of / Kindergarten graduation. The kids had fun playing for Grayson's last day of school. Karlee pretty much kept up with her brothers and their friends.

Karlee loves her food!!

29 Week along

 One thing Jared and I did this year that we have never done but it was much needed, we got some friends to watch our kiddos for the weekend and we spend 3 days just the two of us in Park City. It was so nice and when we got back we were recharged and relaxed. I loved every min of our alone trip together!

Soaking in the crater at Midway in park city was so relaxing!

Playing at the park with Nana and Papa

Kyler kept stealing Papa's 4 wheeling helmet! Kyler could have gone 4 wheeling all day without sharing if we let him. 

 We also did have one incident this summer. Kyler had to get 2 staples in his head after he cut it open by jumping on his bed and getting hit with the ceiling fan. He was so brave at the Doc. office. He did not even cry. His only problem was the ace bandage they wanted to wrap around his head. Luckily he did leave it on for 24 hours like he was supposed to.

31 1/2 weeks pregnant 

While watching Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo Kyler set up a race car for him and Karlee and went out to get Helemets so they could be safe. :)

33 weeks pregnant

The kids had so much fun at Lagoon! Karlee was sad everytime she 

Swimming with Loni and Colby oh so much fun!

The finished Dresser it took me a month to finish this but I love the way it turned out !

Waiting for uncle Josh and Daddy to light the fireworks at Grandma's house

Our most recent project that ended up being bigger than planned I am just glad the threshold is now fixed and we will no longer have leaking when it rains!
