What a week...or two!

 I have been falling behind on my blog.  Whoops!  Well, a lot has been happening around here.  First off, we have a new family member!  Ashley had baby Kyle on the 15th.  He made his appearance early and his daddy was out of town, so Chad and my mom were the substitutes.  Luckily, my mom got back to the hospital just in time to get her into surgery.  Not sure how Chad would have handled that.
 He was born a healthy 7 lbs and 3 ounces and he is just too cute!  Yay for a sweet new baby!
 In the meantime, we are still trying to get the last part of summer in.  We are trying to fit in fun while still doing daily chores, etc.  It's a lot for a prego!  Anyways, B has decided she can dress herself.  Wow, she has style!
 Here is my view these days.  7 months now.  Holy cow!  Remind me not to do this again.
 Brooklyn finished up her last week of lessons with Miss Jenna.  She did great!
 She has gained a lot of confidence and loves to jump, dive and swim.
 Soon she will be a fish like Micah!  I'm glad she enjoyed her lessons so much.
 We have taken random outings.  One night we decided to take the kids to get Balboa Bars. 
I love sharing with them some of the things I did as a kid.  Plus they think I am extra cool when they get a treat!
 Micah has been putting in some practice time with his new toy.  His Uncle Brett got him a skateboard for his birthday and he is having fun on it and getting better.
 We have been spending a lot of time in the water and since it has cooled down a bit, we hit the park. 
 The faces they make are so funny.  Goof balls!
 Little monkey.
 More funny faces from my girl.

In other news, I have passed my glucose test, which may seem silly to mention, but it has been a bit of a fiasco.  I failed my one hour, went in for my 3 hour and missed the first hour testing.  I thought they were keeping time, they thought I was, so we had to do it all over again!  Anyways, I conquered that test today.  Yay!

We have about a week and a half before school starts up again, so I am hoping to get in some fun activities in the meantime.  After that, I will allow myself to nest!

Congrats to Ashley! Crazy her husband was out of town, but so nice to have family close :) I love the belly shot. So fun. Looks like you guys have had a really fun summer. I'll have to check out those Balboa Bars, never heard of them, but they look delicious!

Aww! I love when other people have babies! They are so cute and remind me how much I don't want anymore. :) But good luck with yours! hehe I'm so proud of you for doing so much and being pregnant. You are one super mom!
