June and Most of July

Where has the time gone?! I am seriously slacking!! June was filled with swimming, playing at the park and my doctor appointments so the same things as May really! I have a friend from church who lets me come to her house and swim since no one uses her pool because all of her kids are busy in the mornings! Then she would spoil my kids with popsicles too! We also really like the water parks but some are too slippery and I am scared my kids are going to crack their heads open so we go there almost every other week!

Cooper taking Reese around to the other parts of the water park!

Chloe pretending to take a shower :)

The kids are getting used to the heat as it is over 100 degrees almost everyday and just too hot unless you are in the water and now the pool water is too warm....Sounds weird I know and I just experienced it but you really can't cool off in the pools!

The kids did do swimming lessons back in June but I didn't get any pictures...I was in the pool with Reese while Cooper and Chloe were in their own swimming classes. The kids did great and learned a lot about putting their heads in the water, what could happen in the deep water and of course some cute games to play in the water!

Sunday is our due date for this "surprise" baby! We still do not know what we are having when it comes to the sex of this baby but everything looks healthy as our three ultrasounds have shown! I do not have that motherly intuition and this pregnancy has been a combination of how I felt with Cooper and with the girls so I am really torn! I have been busy sewing lots of stuff for the baby and of course one for a boy and one for a girl of everything. We were going to be induced yesterday but my doctor didn't call in time so there was no room at the hospital. So unless I go on my own I wont have this baby until Monday the 26th. Makes me a little nervous since I think this baby is going to be on the bigger side...I know 8 pounds doesn't sound like much but it does to me!
This is the rag quilt I made for a girl, I didn't get a picture of the boy one...It is the first one I have ever done and it was fun! A lot of work but really cute in the end!!

This was taken this last Sunday and will be my last picture until baby is here :)

Cooper starts school on August 9th and is not very excited about it. Sometimes he wants to go but mostly he doesn't want to go so we are praying that he will change his mind once he starts and is riding the bus! It is all day kindergarten here so he will be gone most of the day which I am sad about because he is such a big helper to me but on the other hand I wont have to be yelling at him and Chloe to stop fighting! They really are getting along better especially when they are playing on pbskids.org together! It is really cute!
Watching the fireworks together!

Reese wondering where the sound was coming from during the fireworks...I think she had just taken a drink of water! And she WANTED to wear the monkey backpack we didn't make her!!

Hopefully the next post will be soon and all about baby :)

Your kids are getting so big, Carrie!! I was glad to see a post. I was wondering how you have been doing. We lived in Las Vegas for a summer and we would swim in the morning and take a nap in the afternoon. I was prego with Jason. The a/c would run day and night! Hope your delivery goes well!!
