Summer Vacation Week 3

Ahh! Time is flying by!

Monday we had breakfast with the family since everyone is in town. We stayed home the rest of the day. This mommy finished cleaning the kitchen minus 2 things which will be worked on later! Room 1 off my list... Now, I'll be working on room 2, the master bedroom. Our room was attacked by ants late Saturday evening and even though it goes against my order of things, I've learned to be flexible! 

Tuesday was a day of working on our bedroom and then we went swimming. It was fun playing with the cousins. Little Miss took an almost 3 hour nap afterwards.

Wednesday, Little Miss woke up way too early. Like 4:30 in the morning, too early. We went to storytime, grandma's, Target, and then came home and cleaned some more. The bathroom and Little Miss' bedroom is done, (so much for being flexible but I'm trying to get all the laundry done first... And there is a lot of it!) but now I need to organize both just a wee bit! 

Thursday and Friday was a day of rest with a little bit of cleaning/organizing. Friday night, Josh and I actually had a date night. We saw Inside Out. It was such a cute movie! 

On Saturday, I helped my Mother-in-law paint wooden firecrackers for her ward's 4th of July breakfast. They turned out so cute! Hopefully I can show you pictures next week. Sunday, we went to grandma's and Little Miss decided to play in the baby doll's rocking crib. It was too cute! 

So, the house is a work in progress. It's very slow, but it's getting done. 

Summer Vacation Week 2

Holy Smolies... I think I'm getting the prego brain! I can't remember a lot!!! Eeek!

Okay so Monday we went to a friend's house and went swimming. 

Tuesday was a relaxing day at home most of the day since I got burnt to a crisp the day before because I didn't put sunblock on. We did go to the library and ended up going to storytime. 

I think I cleaned most of Wednesday. 

Thursday was our Mesquite. We mostly relaxed, at least I did because I overdid it on Wednesday. 

Friday was spent partly in Mesquite, but we came home early because we signed up to feed the missionaries that night. We grilled bratwursts and hot dogs, made Frito salad, cut up some watermelon, and made brownies for desert. It was delicious! I swear it's easier to feed a crowd of 6, than for 2!

Saturday was spent cleaning and prepping church activities for Father's Day.

Sunday was a kick back day. We went to church, began planning the primary program, and watched a movie. I just needed to rest after my long night the night before and everything that occured during the day that put my body into stress mode. 

So...

Maybe my memory isn't as bad as I thought. 

Summer Vacation Week 6

This week was a blur! There was too much going on and I didn't keep very good track. Josh's brother was in town. One day the whole family went to the Shark Reef. It was a lot of fun! Another day all the kiddos and mommies went swimming. For some reason everyone got sunburned. I cried when I saw Baby Girl got burned! It was a pretty traumatic moment! On Friday, the men had a game night while us women had the kiddos and ate pizza and watched movies. We were in Mesquite on Saturday and Sunday to visit family including great grandpa Pops. When we weren't busy, we pretty much relaxed.  I'll put up pictures when I can! 

Oh... And our a/c went out! It was kind of sucky but, we got it fixed.

Good news: we are planning an adventurous vacation. We are planning on going to Grand Teton National Park. Neither of us have been there and I am super excited because the pictures I've seen are breathe-takingly amazing! 

When we get back, it's high gear into prepping for the new school year! 

Summer Vacation Week 3

I finally gave up with my list and did our "days" how I felt like it. 

Monday and Tuesday were days I caught up on shows on Hulu (Castle & Grey's Anatomy). 

Wednesday we went window shopping at the Meadows Mall. Baby girl absolutely loved the mirror in the play area! Thursday, despite the wind, we went window shopping at Town Square... I ended up buying 2 outfits for baby girl at Old Navy. I can't wait to show pictures! Friday was laundry day, then we drove up to Mesquite to see Grandma & Grandpa. Josh & I got to do "date night" on Saturday. We went bowling and shopping for baby things like diapers and food. We also went swimming and Josh even joined us! We left Sunday and celebrated Baby A's 2nd birthday at family dinner. 

Updates on Baby Girl:

Her first tooth finally broke through last Sunday. We can clearly feel it, but it's still difficult to see. 

She can pull herself up without guidance... Though sometimes she still needs it. 

With assistance from mommy, daddy, or someone else, she can walk wherever she pleases.

She is growing up way too fast!

First Summer Weekend

So this weekend was the first weekend of the summer and we began our summertime plans. 

Friends Day Friday

We drove up to Mesquite and spent the day with my folks. It also spilled into Saturday when we went to visit my grandma.

Try Something New Saturday

Baby girl has gone swimming before, but not with just me so that was our try something new Saturday. We went swimming in Mesquite. We had a lot of fun and Baby girl kept on kicking and laughing and she did not want to get out when we did! 

Tomorrow, I teach primary Sunday school  for the first time--subbing so it'll be interesting. It should be a lot of fun though!
