Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

Yes, that's what little girls are made of. And we will have our 3rd girl in April. Everything looked great on the ultrasound. We can't wait for her to be here. Here is a picture from the ultrasound today. I think her hand on her forehead is kind of funny. She had her hands by her face the whole time.

Skiing with the Colemans

8/1/09

Brandon and Stef invited us to go water skiing and of course we said yes. It has been since Megan was born that either of us has gone so we were excited to get the opportunity. I got right up and so did Brian. I guess it's like riding a bike, you never forget how. Megan was a little unsure about the boat ride but Ashlyn loved it.
We tried the life vests on the night before to make sure they fit. The girls wouldn't take them off. They just walked around the house that night ready for a flood.
Ashlyn really enjoyed sitting in the tube. I think she liked the slow rhythm of the waves hitting it.

Do you think she'll be ok? She was wearing water wings, a life vest and was in a tube. We figured she was the safest of us all. She loved kicking herself around in the tube.

Poor Stef was about a month away from having a baby so she didn't get to ski. This is Kenny her and Ashlyn enjoying the water. The water was the perfect temperature that day. I think Ashlyn and Megan could have stayed in it for hours. Thanks Colemans!

Megan's 4th Birthday

7/31/09

I can't believe that Megan is 4 now. Boy has time flown. She has really matured a lot this year. We love her so much and are so glad she is a part of our family. She is already talking about her birthday next year and how she will be able to go to kindergarten when she is 5. Happy Birthday Megan!
I love these two pictures because of her smiles. I see pure excitement in these silly grins. You can tell she got exactly what she wanted.

Camping with Dad

7/24/09

We haven't gone camping since we had kids, so Megan hasn't been exposed to camping much. We decided that it might be fun to have Brian and Megan camp in the back yard. She thoroughly enjoyed herself. As Brian was setting everything up, she kept asking "so, what do we do next". It was pretty funny. They had a good time, but Brian brought her in in the middle of the night because he was so uncomfortable. Maybe they'll have to use the trampoline next time.
Setting up the tent.
Can you tell she was excited?

All set for the evening.

More swimming lessons

7/20/09

Boy am I a slacker. I can't believe it has been so long since I posted. Megan also took swimming lessons at Lakeview Pool. Megan's teacher was Danielle and I absolutely loved her. Megan is a little leery of going under water. By the end of the two weeks, she had gone under a number of times. Danielle pushed her in the areas that she needed work in and I really liked that.
Here they are practicing their kicks.
Those kids never wanted to stay in the pool. It was pretty cold since the lessons were at 9:00 in the morning. Megan was a good sport. We will be back for sure next summer.

A little young still

7-18-2009
Yes, that's underwear she is wearing. This little girl wants to grow up faster than she needs to. Sometimes when I am getting Ashlyn ready for the day, she will go in to Megan's dresser and pull out a pair of panties. She tries to put them on herself but doesn't usually have much luck. If I don't put them on her, she gets pretty mad. She has also been wanting to use the toilet. She will back up to it if we are in the bathroom. I usually just sit her on it for a couple of seconds and tell her she did a good job. She loves her sister so much and wants to do everything she does. This picture makes me laugh every time I see it.

The good old days

7-16-2009

On Thursday it was so stinkin' hot that we decided to put the sprinkler under the trampoline to cool off a little. We used to do this all the time growing up, so it was fun to watch the kids do it.
Good action shot of Megan and Trent(our neighbor). They really had a lot of fun with it.
You can tell my Trent's face that the water is a little cold.

This is what Ashlyn did most of the time. She would just shake the hose up and down while standing in the little pool. She loved it.
