Beautiful Day

Okay so I know it is Monday~ and I don't look forward to them at all... However this Monday has really turned out to be a beautiful one. I woke up not feeling the best, but kept going. The kids had homeschool group today at Cascades Park in Bloomington and it was so nice. We got there at noon with a picnic lunch, so we ate and spent time with other kids and parents in our group. Hailee and Austin had such a great time!! The weather actually turned out to be nice to~ not to hot not to cold. I am so thankful for such a great day.

Tomorrow I have a dr. appt so be thinking of me. I have swollen feet, and have a hard time catching my breath... Just think it wont be much longer :)

Fast Growing Feet

We are approaching the Fall season of YMCA soccer , which starts begining of September. I thought I had better get the kid's gear out and ready. We just bought all new stuff in the Spring season so I was thinking we could use it for Fall too.... Yeah well that isn't going to work... Austin has went from a size 3 to a 4 1/2 in shoes and Hailee went from a 10 to an 11... Looks like I best get in gear and go get some new things. My kids feet are growing fast!! Ha ha.

Not to much...

Well there isn't to much going on here... Just thought I would write a little so that you all know we are still here. Austin and Hailee have been busy doing their homeschool (which is going great so far). I am super proud of them both!! Also I just signed them up for soccer this season. I think their games start on Sept. 12th, so they are both looking forward to it. We are coaching again this season along with Brian and Mindy Mackin. Not sure how much I will be able to help, so Jesse will be the main person. I will be in charge of calling players, setting up practices, and having things in order. Brian and Mindy said they would run the practices obvisiously cause this prego momma can't do much on the field. LOL. Should be an interesting and fun season!!
Hailee is really wanting to start a gymnastics class, but I told her she needs to wait til after soccer and after our little baby boy gets here. Just feels like there is so much going on or that will be going on.
Jesse has been keeping busy at work. I am not complaining because that can be a good thing. I mean I am so thankful that he has a job and one he likes at that. What a blessing!!
As for me, well I am counting down my days til I have baby boy!! I am so ready~isn't everyone by the last month.
Well that is it for now, so have a great weekend to all!!

Just helpin Daddy...

Yesterday was such a busy day for us. We had school, then homeschool group, ran to the grocery store... then when Jesse got home we had to run get a tire fixed on his truck, get gas for the mower, come home mow the yard, put tire on truck, get supper cooked, and get the kids ready for bed. What a day, huh? Anyways I captured a few photos :

Austin just got done riding bikes with neighbors and was hot and sweaty!!

Pictures from our cookout

On August 8th, we had a cookout at Bill and Cindy's (Jesse's parents) for some of our friends. It was so nice getting everyone together and just hanging out! We had lots of fun:) We try to get together every 3-4 months, whether it is going out to eat or just getting together for a pitch in. Anyways here are a few pics that I recieved from Abbie that she took. They turned out good and I wanted to share them. Oh and it was really hot that day so I think us girls mostly hung out inside so there isn't pics of the females. LOL.

36 days

As I got on my blog today, I looked at the baby ticker. 36 days til I am due!! However I should be scheduling my Csection so it should be sooner than 36 days. I can't believe it!! Today I worked on getting things ready and making list of what I need to get/ take to hospital/things Jesse needs to do!! It is getting so close. Jesse and I have also started our list on "Who can guess the weight." So much fun getting everyones answers for that, so if you want to participate then go for it!! Austin weighed 8lbs 13 ozs, and Hailee weighed 7lbs 6 ozs.

Some things that are going on in my pregnancy:
*I can lay in bed and watch him move from one side to the other. I made Jesse feel it and well he said it is kind of a gross feeling. LOL
*Shortness of Breath~ I have this alot.
*Swelling~ My swelling has went down alot, but I am still puffy in my feet and hands.
*Hungry~ Not sure why but the cravings have started back up again. Right now it has been Mexican food and Chinese (however I was told to stay away from Chinese, boo).
*No baths~ That is right, sometimes I just want to take a bath~ however it isn't very easy getting out of the tub. LOL. So I am sticking to SHOWERS for now!
*The kids have really been rubbing my belly and talking to our little guy. It is the sweetest thing ever, and I enjoy it so much!!

Well that is about all I can think of at this time. The kids came home from a weekend in Odon with Jesse's parents. I was excited to get them home. I have just been hanging out at home with them. Jesse got called out around lunch time and is still working. Better go for now. Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!

Kids having fun...

Friday evening, Cindy called and asked if Austin and Hailee wanted to catch a ride to their house with Bill cause he was going through Martinsville. It didn't take them long to say, "YES!" So I got them packed and Jesse and I took them up the Rural King to meet him. The plan was that they were coming home on Saturday, however I knew that wasn't going to happen. ha ha.
Well it is Saturday and they called and want to stay one more night, so I let them. Here are some of the pictures I recieved from Cindy's cell of what the kids have been up to.

Hailee and Papaw with the fish!!
Austin and Hailee~ they love the pond and fishing at mamaw and papaw's!!

A visit to Mamaw Maggie Swartzentruber's~ and look at who they got to visit with.... Their cousins Lily and Nolan Swartzentruber. (This is Tyson and Marisa's two children). I am sure Hailee and Austin was thrilled that there was a baby boy there to hold. They are practicing and preparing for our little guy!!
I guess they will be home tomorrow, but at least they are having fun and getting some good time with mamaw and papaw!
Tonight I was craving Mexican food. Thankfully Jesse met me at the mexican resturant uptown for supper. It was delicious:) After eating we made a quick trip to Rural King then home to enjoy the rest of this day. It felt so GOOD outside!! Jesse has been on call so it has been really quiet around here with the kids gone, but I have gotten lots done!
