Allison!

I just cannot get enough of this little girl! It is so amazing how quickly a baby starts changing looks! Allie is starting to take on her own little look- best shown in the last picture. She is the sweetest nicest little baby. She doesn't really cry- just will fuss a little if she wakes up hungry. She sits and looks around at everything. I love holding her and watching her. What a wonderful blessing to have such a mild tempered (for now!) little spirit! I love her so much! I'm glad she has completed our little family!

Butterflies!

Grandma Shanna & Grandpa John sent the kids butterfly cages & larvae! (They were a little creepy as little worms). However, we did watch them grow and turn into cocoons and hatch into butterflies! I wish I had taken photos at every step... the kids spent a week or two watching them in their cages and then we had the big release! I put a lot of pictures because the kids were just so interested and Ryan SO Excited! They didn't want to fly away either since they didn't know they could!

Jammin'

I keep making plans hoping the baby will come because I have them... no suck luck! Yesterday I did this!

I LOVE freezer jam!!! YUM YUM YUM!

Money Makers

While in Utah the kids had another Lemonade stand! Braden put signs up and down the street and danced on the corner and pointed to try and get business. The girls would yell and wave their arms as cars went by. Most of the customers were people visiting the temple directly across the street. We could see all the brides and even a few came over and bought lemonade and asked permission to get pictures with the kids while they drank up. The kids made about $24 to share among them! 

So I thought it would be fun to use the money and go see a movie in the theater!! Toy Story 3 was a fun popcorn & candy experience ~ It was Kaitlin's and Ryan's first time in a real theater! Ryan moved around some but overall watched the movie. It was a good one! Two thumbs up from us all!

Organizing

THIS is the kind of stuff I do while *nesting* when pregnant... we are still waiting for Baby Girl to arrive! The heat is finally making me slow down some since my feet are swelling.
I'm not complaining though! I love the sun!!
