The countdown has begun!!

I am so excited that I am in the final stretch! This summer has already been VERY warm and I don't think we've gotten the worst of it yet!! I am so glad that I have a cool basement to escape to in the heat. I wish I had AC! Here I am at 34 weeks... so a couple weeks ago. I only have 27 days left!! YAY!! Its a really bad picture... but I'm not that photogenic these days : )!!!

My latest project!

It took me FOREVER... but I finally finished!! A couple of months ago we got a FREE table and chairs from a few people my parents know... but they needed some help. The table was in good condition, but the chairs were nothing short of UGLY!! So my mom helped me get material and the plastic to cover the chairs. I slowly got them done and now I LOVE them! They are a little wiggly. But they will work for what we need them for!! Here are some before and after pics:

The table and chairs we had before, mismatching chairs and an old table. Here are three of the chairs BEFORE:

And last but not least my new table and chairs!!

Better late than never!! Our 4th of July

I haven't been to the parade in probably 10+ years. My family usually goes camping for the 4th. Andy had to work and we were going to be in town I thought Kyler would like it... which he did!! He had so much fun waving his flag and eating all the treats he got!! Here are a few pics:

After Andy got off work we went to a BBQ and headed in for the fireworks... we ended up in Civitan park, with a pretty good spot!

Uh oh... we've got a climber.

Kyler is getting to be quite mischevious!! Yesterday I heard Kyler playing in his room when he was supposed to be going to sleep. I went to check on him after it had quieted down and this is what I found.....
all the contents from Kyler's drawers on his bed. and he was on the top bunk!How can you get mad at that???

Kyler's first trip to the ZOO!!

I know its kindof sad the poor boy has never been to the zoo. My mother in law wanted us to all go to the zoo with all the grandkids. It was so fun!! Kyler had a ball!! There were "puppies" everywhere. The people who were in front of us were getting a kick out of him calling to the goats, lions and everything else and refering to them as puppies. It was Thursday so Grayson got to go with us! My neice Allyson loved pushing him around in the stroller. However it was a very HOT day! I thought by the end of the day I was sure I was melting.

Kyler and Tymika with their hats grandma brought for them all to make. It didn't stay on very long. Waiting to see the baby camel eat a giant bottle. They never came though. Kyler and Allyson sitting on the rooster. Venice, Cosette, and KendallKyler getting very tired! It was an hour past his nap time. ROUGH!!

A nice escape from this heat!!

This last week we went with my family to go to Blacktail boating. It would have been even more fun if I wouldn't have gotten sick! My grandpa was pulling Andy and my cousin Chad on the tube on the way to find a dock and making it really fun for them.... not so fun for me. After that I stayed on the dock until we left. lol! Hopefully next time I won't be such a party pooper!! Here are some pictures of the event!Andy and Chad tubing! I had Debbie take the picture I was afraid to look anywhere but the front of the boat!! lol!
Kyler sitting on Aunt Debbie's lap. She is my Mom's sister. Kyler isn't so thrilled with his life jacket!
Bryn, Ky and Emry getting ready to go tubin' with Grandpa Rod.

He's a natural! Andy said that just about bounced out of the tube!! Kyler had a blast!!

Serious nesting issues!!

I think I may be driving my husband crazy!! He is being so sweet though and following my every whim... well for the most part, he's trying to keep me sane I think! lol. I have been going crazy in my house thinking that I need to get everything ready now for this baby... when he isn't due to arrive for about 10 more weeks.

Here is what I have been up to... and I'm still not finished. I haven't started the baby's room yet. But... don't fret I am working on it!! lol!

Kyler's new room is finally finished!! He has been sleeping in his new bed this last week. It has been quite the struggle. But we are getting there... slowly!

We moved our entertainment center down stairs... so now there is a huge empty space i'm trying to fill with only one couch... luckily my one couch is a sectional.... a very unique sectional. The basement. We got a HUGE peice of carpet from my parents and a couch from my sister and we've made it partially liveable. Andy has hooked our entertainment area up with surround sound and both of the OLD gaming systems we have... I also had him set up a bed just in case upstairs gets too hot... I'll have somewhere to sleep where it isn't so hot!!We moved our computer downstairs along with all ky's toys. It has been so nice having the basment for the toys and everything. My upstairs actually stays somewhat clean. I LOVE IT!

Our storage room is finally finished! It is a little crowded, but I am loving the space.
