Pool Fun

 

We filled the pool for some fun in the heat today. Of course they had to get in right away. The water was so cold it actually hurt, which is why they are standing!

Fun at the Park

 

We had some fun at Harman Park today. Brody loves the 3 story play place.

 

At the top!

 

Doesn't everyone need shoes?

 

On his toes, he can almost use the binoculars.

 

Running for another slide.

 

Heading home for naptime. What did people do before DVD players? This girl loves some Mickey Mouse.

 

She has turned into a "blanket sniffer".

 

Sooooo tired.

VALLEYFAIR

On Monday, Brody and I headed to Valleyfair with Grammy Tammy, Tony, Chanice and Ayden. The kids had a blast! Brody was a great age for the new Planet Snoopy rides! It was so much fun to watch him and Ayden on the rides and I was thankful Tony and Chanice were along since pregnant ladies aren't allowed on much!

 The kids spent a good two hours in the water park as well. It was a great day.
Thank you Grandma Tammy!

Duck Days

Another fun-filled Lake Crystal Duck Days weekend has come to an end. It started out Friday night with the parade. We are fortunate enough it goes right by Taid's house. The picture above isn't even the whole crowd. Brody was super excited about every unit in the parade and Brenley was a very good girl. They both had their fair share of candy to help pass the 2 hours:)

Saturday brought lots of fun activities as well. Brody once again loved the corn pit. Not much has changed since last year!http://brodyandbrenley.blogspot.com/2010/06/duck-days-day-2.html 
Although he did get to do participate in the inflatable fun this year! He only needed Daddy's help to get up to the giant slide. I think he did the obstacle course 15 times! Lots has changed for the little girl of the family since last year. She didn't get to do all the fun stuff but she did like to see the goats and really loved her pony ride!

 

Our turtles didn't fair too well in the race, but Brenley sure could have won! That girl doesn't slow down. We ended Duck Days with fireworks on Papa Jones's bridge. It was a great weekend!

The pinata.

 

The gifts.

 

And the cake. It was a great time - thanks, Browns!

Checking His Crops

Feels Like Summer!

 

Brenley got to wear a cute new summer outfit today. Grandma whisked her outside for a picture, then back in the house in 30 seconds to get away from the pesky gnats! They can go away any time now!

20 WEEKS

Hard to believe this pregnancy is half way over already! We've had a few ultrasounds now and baby is most definitely a boy! Still mostly skin and bones in these pictures, so they aren't the cutest yet. But I am confident his cheeks will come. Things have been going pretty smoothly. Most days I am too busy to even remember I am pregnant. Lets hope the next 20 weeks (or more like 18 preferably) are just as easy and just as fast!!
