Swimming

We have spent the last few days relaxing in our pool. Yes the water is very cold~however the kids don't care at all. Austin loves to practice swimming around. Hailee is like a fish with her Floaties. Jesse even joined us yesterday~ he about froze, but he got in for awhile. As soon as Hailee woke up this morning she said lets go SWIM mom!! I had to tell her to look outside~RAINING. She is a little bummed out.
Speaking of rainy days... Why is it on rainy days you just want to curl up with a blanket and lay on the couch watching a movie? I have tons of housework to do, but I am seriously thinking about curling up:) We will see. Hope you are all enjoying this RAINY DAY!!

Happy Birthday!!

Just wanting to wish my baby sister MOLLI a Happy 18th Birthday!! We went Sunday to my mom's to celebrate her and Dakota's birthday. (Dakota's is June 12th~ but we celebrated with family a little early). Here are a few pics of my lil sis Molli!!

Happy 18th Molli! We hope you have a great birthday, and remember we love you lots!

Finished...

This post is actually for Bill (Jesse's dad) or as the kids call him Papaw Hillbilly!! You wanted a picture of the finished pool, so here it is.

Our pool is up and ready, after lots of time preparing for it. When Jesse got home this afternoon, we ventured out to the backyard. Hailee, Austin, and I decided we would go for our first swim~ and BURR the water was so COLD. The kids loved it though and didn't want to get out. Hailee's teeth were chattering but she was determined to stay in. They are looking forward to swimming lots over the summer, I just hope it warms up a bit. :)

Our Anniversary

Six years ago today, I married the man of my dreams! Everyday I love him more and more.

Happy 6th Anniversary Jesse!

Jesse and I got married on June 7, 2003 at the Odon Christian Church. Our wedding and reception was beautiful. It was truely a day that I dreamed of. Jesse not only started a family with me that day, but with my son Austin also. He has been a terrific step father to him from day one. Since then we have built our own little family. We have our son Austin (9), our daughter Hailee (3), and a son on the way due in September! We feel so blessed with an amazing family:)

I don't know what to say other than Jesse completes me. He is such an amazing man, husband, and father. I look forward to waking up next to him daily and laying next to him at night. He is one that puts others before him self and never would think twice about helping someone in need. He has stood by myside through so many things and has been my rock. I feel blessed that God put him in my life and allowed us to have a our family. Jesse I look forward to spending many more wonderful years together!! Your amazing and I love you with all my heart.

Happy Anniversary!!

Pool/Soccer Trophies

Friday~ Jesse took the day off so that we could get some stuff done, like our pool. He got up and got two loads of sand. Here is a picture.

Finally after major leveling, we got the pool out and started to fill it up. Of course Hailee was so impatient with waiting for it to fill. She took off her shirt and jumped in. She didn't care that there wasn't lots of water she just wanted to splash around.

The water has ran all night and I am thinking it is just about full so the kids will be ready to enjoy swimming. I will take a picture when it is completely full. :)

Today was Austin's last soccer game. We lost this one, but played an awesome game. Our record is 5 wins 2 losses and 1 tie! Not to bad huh!! After the game we headed to the Inside Scoop to enjoy some ice cream cones and passing out the trophies. They got Trophies from the YMCA, but I went all out. I printed out certificates, got each a card, and ordered each one a medallion to wear around thier necks and engraved SPRING 09 on it. They were all super excited. Here is my team enjoying their cones.

Jesse, Austin, and Hailee relaxing and enjoying some Ice Cream! Hailee was the biggest fan/cheerleader so of course she got a necklace too!!

Family photo while at the Inside Scoop. We enjoyed coaching this year and hope to do it again in the fall, well maybe. We will have to see when the little guy makes his grand entrance!!

The kids and I went outside today just to enjoy the weather. Austin, Hailee and I enjoyed basketball, sidewalk chalk, bikes, and scooters. Here are a few pics of the kids.

Hailee thinks she is so big, so she had to pose while on her brother's skateboard!!

Austin just got done playing ball, and yes he played in sandals?? ha ha

Tomorrow our plan is to set the pool, so hopefully we will accomplish it. Jesse took the day off so we can get it done. Hope all goes smooth :)

June Already?

Wow, I can't believe it is June already.. Time flies right by... The kids and I have been keeping busy enjoying these warm days out in the sun. They have ran through the sprinkler like crazy, played with water guns, and all that fun stuff. We are hoping to have our pool up on Friday :) Can't wait!!
Austin has been doing amazing at going to bed on time now, I have to say I am so proud of what we accomplished. He isn't the only one going to bed early, we all are. Now we are all well rested! It is so nice.
An update on the little guy in my belly~ things are going good. Some days I can't tell if he is in there throwing a fit or just in a playfool mood because I feel tons of kicks and movement. I am not complaining, I absolutely love the feeling. Jesse has felt it a few times but not the major ones so I am hoping in the next few weeks he will be able to catch a feel at this little guy! Hailee said last night, " Mom this baby in my belly is moving and kicking too." Oh it is so cute!!
I will try to take some pics and uploaded a little later. Hope you are all having a great week!!
