20 weeks!

Hard to believe this pregnancy is half over! Some days it feels like its flying by, other days December still feels pretty far away. We had our ultrasound last week and found out we are having a girl! This pregnancy has been a whirlwind of its a girl- its a boy- its a girl but I am now convinced we are having a girl! So convinced that we have started buying pink, and once you start its hard to stop! Brody says "WOW" every time I come home with more pink but he will love having a little sister! We are getting very excited to be a family of 4!

ITS A DANGEROUS JOB!

Apparently Brody thinks mowing our yard is pretty dangerous!

MOA FUN

Ryan took off early from work on Friday for my appointment so we took advantage of it and headed to the cities for some fun with Brody. We stayed in a hotel, went to Mall of America for Underwater World and Nickelodeon Land. Brody loved going on rides with daddy. They even went on a roller coaster. Saturday we did some shopping and came home. Ryan has been jealous of all the fun Brody and I have been having this summer, so it was nice for him to get to come along!

Doing some reading at the hotel before bed time:)

SLEEPY EYE AQUATIC CENTER

We headed over to the Sleepy Eye Water Park today with The Browns. It wasn't the warmest of days, but we think that helped keep the crowd down and it was busy enough the way it was!
All the kids really enjoyed the water park. Lots for little ones to do. The adults were a little chilly, but it was a fun day. Brody liked the slide and wanted to go down himself- but it went so fast I couldn't even stay above water at then end so he went down with mama lots of times. I am sure we will go back there again this summer.

LUCKY BOY

Brody has been fascinated with the big machines outside our house all summer. We sit and watch them work and wave to them every time they go by. Yesterday, the road grader pulled into the yard when we were outside and said that he noticed Brody seemed to like the all the chaos. He was nice enough to let Brody and I climb into the road grader and take our picture. Brody was in little boy heaven and he did not want to get out! The nice worker said we could do it again another time, since they'll be working on our road for the rest of the summer. What a great day for Brody.

NOW ITS SUMMER!

It officially feels like summer now that Brody got his first taste of sweet corn! It took him awhile to figure out what to do with it, but once we got the handles out he did a great job! I think it will be a favorite food for him, just like his mama:)

P-P-P- Pool

We filled the pool up again Saturday for the kids- and although it was a beautiful day when you were sitting in the sun, the pool did not get very warm. Claire loved it- didn't bother her one bit. Brody shivered and his lips turned blue and Everett cried to get in the pool-then cried to get right back out! As cold as it was they played for a pretty long time- then got the sprinkler out and played some more!
