I think it's time to let you all know...

First, let me tell you that we're on vacation, and having so much fun with all of our friends and family.  I was hoping on doing a blog post every couple of days so that I could keep up on every thing, but it's been busy, and I don't know how to add pictures without downloading my 200+ on to everyone's computer.  So, if Randy can figure it out for me, I've got some good blog posts coming for you.
Second, but MOST important, I'm pregnant!  We are expecting baby #3 end of January/beg. of February.  I am now 15 weeks along, and finally past the awful morning sickness.  So, anyways, we're excited.  Kenadi has named the baby REEbecca (not Rebecca) and says it's a girl, so it probably is.

Nature Week

One of my good friends, Allyson, did some fun summer camps with her twins every summer.  SO, I stole her idea and did some summer camps with Kenadi and Emma.  We only did 2, and I felt like they were probably weak attempts, but we had fun.  For our first one, we did an arts and crafts camp.  We made t-shirts (well, craft painted them), hair accessories, foam crafts, "cutsied" some sandals, and I think that's it.  The second week was last week.  It was Nature Camp.  The first day we went on a hike in the woods and looked at all different leaves and trees, smelled all the smells, listened, etc.  We loved it.  We also spent time in parks, swimming, and went boating.  That counts for nature week, doesn't it?  Yesterday was the day we went boating with our dearest friends, the Novotny's.  They are so good to us.  We had a blast with them.  

I wish I thought of taking a picture of Randy before he tried slalom, and this is the one picture I got.  He obviously crashed.  He did get up on the water skis a couple of times.

We swam in the nice warm lake.

I wondered how Kenadi and Emma would do in a lake verses a pool, and they did great.  Kenadi is a fish since we did swimming lessons this year.  She used to be afraid of putting her head under the water, and now it is her main goal.  She's funny.

We went on a SLOW ride on the tube.  Randy did get a wild and crazy one in with some great crashes, and I had a fun one too.


I don't think Emma smiled the whole time we were on the tube.  She looked nervous.
This was our hike in the woods.  We stopped by and picked up Whitney.  My girls just love her, and her them.  




Of course we got good and dirty.  It was a fun and busy week!
