Checking out a pinecone on a hike

Eating some snow on our hike!

4th of July Fun!

Caelyn was so excited about her 1st 4th of July that she wanted to taste the American flag from on top of her play farm!

Making her way around the table - she really is getting quick when she has something to hold onto.

And what 4th of July celebration would be complete without some time in our bathing suit. Caelyn loves this little pool chair and umbrella that are just her size!!

Caelyn was playing in the floor and Penny decided to go and check it out. Caelyn had a wooden spoon from the kitchen and she would wave it at Penny and Penny in turn would bat at the spoon. It was fun seeing them play together!

Summertime is to be in the water!

Touching the waterfall in Grandpa and Grandma's pool!

So this weekend was Father's Day but Jason was REALLY sick with the flu and Caelyn was still running a fever, but today is Monday and everyone seems to be feeling much better! I'm praying that I get lucky and do not catch what everyone else had, so far so good! We just plan on celebrating how great Jason is later this week. He is such an amazing husband and father, I love him dearly.

Today we thought it might be nice to get out of the house and have lunch at the park and play in the water features! Uncle Greg and Jason took Caelyn there earlier this weekend while Alyssa and I were at a shower and she loved the water! As soon as she sees it she starts kicking her feet in pure excitement!

And to clear up any confusion that our last blog post may have made (some people got it and we think others might have been unsure what to assume) we are expecting another blessing to our family!! We were so excited to share our news....I made her the onesie to surprise our friends and family! We had an ultrasound last week and I'm three months pregnant! The baby was moving it's little hands and legs, it looked like it was waving!! Such a miracle!! So with great anticipation we will welcome the newest addition to our family in January 2011!

so excited

VBS and swimming...summer fun!

Here's a taste of what Jason has been up to the past month! These are some cowboy boots that he built for VBS at church. They are 15 feet tall!! He has been really busy getting everything prepared for this week!

First swim...

Our little fish has really enjoyed the water!

We haven't been swimming in awhile...she woke up Sunday running a fever and is still trying to get over a little flu bug. Mommy has been enjoying napping extra with her! Hopefully she'll be feeling better soon

Summer is here!
