Fun Fun Fun

July has been quite a busy month!  My brother and his wife came with their kids and we took the kiddos fishing...Emma was the only one who caught a fish.  They were biting, but we could just never get them to stay on the hook.

 But, Ian caught a baby duck...we had to have the DNR guy come and rescue the poor duck.

We also took them Crawdad Fishing up Strawberry.  It was a total blast! They would put in the chicken and  pull out up to 6 at a time.

We also had some cookouts and the kids loved playing night games that included hide and seek and freeze tag.  My cousin and his wife also came for the weekend.  It was a fun visit and we can't wait until the next one!

Memorial Day Fun

We went to Williams, AZ for Memorial Day for a family reunion.  The kids had a blast getting dirty and playing with their cousins.  It was so much fun to see everyone.  I wish they lived closer.

Preschool Grad

My little man graduated preschool today! They had a program at his school today, they sang some songs

and each got to talk into the microphone and tell why they love their families.  Zac's response "I love my family because they let me stir."  Then during the last song he shouts "The last song! This one is my favorite! Yeah baby!"  and later in the song "Rock n' Roll!"  then near the end "Now this is what I call Rock n' Roll"  And he definatley had some moves i've never seen! it was so fun to watch him, he makes me laugh. He has such an outgoing personality and he is so fun to be around. 

I can't believe he'll be in Kindergarten in 4 months!!  The last 5 1/2 years really have flown by.  Pretty soon it will be Reagan's turn to go to Kindergarten and by then Zac will be in 2nd grade!!  Time needs to slow down a bit.  These little guys grow up way to fast!

It's true...

I haven't really posted anything about me being pregnant yet, but it's true, we are about 18 1/2 weeks today.  And it is a BOY!! (they could tell at the 16 week appt it was a boy but we wanted to be sure) Zac is so excited, Reagan is convinced it's a girl, hopefully she'll be okay when it comes out a boy. My due date is Sept 18th which will make him and Reagan nearly 2 years 11 months apart.

~he's not a very shy lil' guy~

We couldn't be more excited for a little boy! 

 Now if we could just decide on a name.

no more

This little girl...

is absolutley done wearing diapers!

I dont care what anybody says though, girls might be faster learners, but boys are so much easier to take to the potty!!

Arizona part 2

My Aunt invited everyone over, and it was fun to see all my cousins, aunts and uncles who were able to make it.

the 3 pregos

My cousins...me, sharri, ashley, brooke, nikki, jessica, amy and heather

We were able to go and see my grandpa's grave while we were there.  He died last christmas and we were on our way to London the day of his funeral so I never got to see it.

Arizona

We got the chance to drive down to Arizona last week and had so much fun in the sun.  The kids couldn't get enough of all the parks, and we even got to go swimming.

Playing with cousins! Reagan, Clay, Lauren and Zac

fun sliding! Zac loved to pile the sand at the bottom of the slide and go right through.

My cousin Landon is a Fireman so he gave us a personal tour of his fire department.  We really got the VIP treatment.  Thanks a ton Landon! The kids had a blast...even Reagan!

They let us put on the head gear and were able to talk to eachother

through them.  It was pretty neat.

Zac and Reagan trying to lift the Jaws of Life, needless to say

the jaws weighed more than the kids.

Reagan hadn't really gotten into much at the firehouse, but when she saw zac squirting water from the

brush fire truck she thought she'd try.  On her first and only attempt, she got squirted

and came running back to me.  We all thought it was pretty funny though.

Zac, mom and I went on a hike up to some petroglyphs
(thanks dad for watching reagan)  There has been a lot of

rain in the dessert this year so we got a cool picture of a cactus in full bloom.

We finally made it! I swear it was about a mile and half up to them. Zac

was quite the tropper though.

taking a break

We also got to go to my grandpa's farm. We found a ton of indian pottery, but unfortunatley didn't take any pictures of all the fun the kids had gathering it up. There is a ton of it on my grandparents farm, and it's fun to look at.
