I've been so bad about taking Pictures this summer. But a lot has happened. Chris and I got to go on a cruise in June, Kylie turned 7, Reagan turned 5, Kinsey potty trained, and Chris is teaching next year, oh and we're having a boy we found out! Just some fun summer stuff, like movies, beach, Go Karts, water park, mall, friends, pool, girls camp, and youth conference a bit, temple, Library, Face Painting, Mascot Games, shooting, camp fires, ice skating, bowling, VISIT FROM HOLLYWOOD, etc.
Kinsey was wanting to learn to swim until I found her jacket I had stored away and now she realizes she can be so much more independent (which is probably her most fav. thing!) She did get stitches. Mom calls me when we're helping at Youth Conference and tells me not to panic but they are going to the hospital, Kinsey needs stitches. So calmly we go but it took 45 min to get there, luckily we got there before she went back. She did GREAT! enjoyed time with just mom and dad, but not getting
the stitches when she saw them. She even was singing her favorite song, Jingle Bells, while fighting the tears as they were on the 3rd stitch and Adams the nurse joined in. Not a fun experience and she got 5 of them! But she didn't bother them at all and was so wonderful.
Kylie has ants in her pants and is always wanting to play with a friend or go buy something with her money she earned or found or got for her birthday. But she's really good about getting her chores and homework done before she goes because she really wants to go! Also really good at Hoola Hooping. She's won the last 4 contests she's been in, and catching Lizards is alos a new passion. We're getting her signed up for the swim team when school starts! M W F for that. She's excited to find out who else is in her class for 2nd grade.
Reagan is so spacey sometimes it's just too cute. Not spacey like dumb, just off in her own happy world. She's so happy and sings all the time and is just so sweet and precious. She does get emotional and can get pretty upset, but we're working on being 'Calm and Kind.' She shared her birthday presents with her sister so well and most everything else for that matter. She has gotten her confidence in the pool back -Yeah!- She's excited to have the same K teacher as Kylie did and go to school with mom. She has a harder time concentrating than Kylie does and hasn't learned as many sight words as I would have liked but is getting her numbers down.
Kinsey, is potty trained, which I already posted about, but talks so well and has a blast with her sisters. She loves Barney and Dora and getting treats for going on the potty. Her friends Ella and Jack Jack from church she talks about all the time! She loves wearing princess dresses and her minnie shoes she got for going potty so much. Sweet mama's girl, and will miss me so when I go back to work this school year, but at least it's still part-time!
Chris, finishes his old job this wed! And since he's staying in town for work, back at the Middle school teaching Spanish, and the Jetta is on it's last leg being 10 years old and having 185k miles on it, we opted for a smaller motorcycle payment instead of a car payment. We'll have my mom's car for a back up, but he's super excited about it and so are the girls, especially Kylie and Kinsey, they LOVE it!
Me- feeling big, but that's expected having only 11 weeks left in my pregnancy, and eating treats everyday, so most of it's my fault. Can't wait to do Weight Watchers again and setting goals. Yeah, I know I could have done that during my pregnancy, but I'm too far gone now LOL! Love that summer dresses are now coming on sale cause that's my school wardrobe :0) I don't mind Kinsey's pool jacket at all because she is independent and easier at the pool and park, and I get to swim some laps to counter those cookies. But would like her to swim on her own too for safety reasons. Looking forward to going to the last horrah for the summer and heading to Weekie Watchi Springs for the mermaid show and small water park.
Ok, that's us in a Summer Summary! Hope you had a blast and enjoyed your family :0)
