Quarter of a Century

I also celebrated 30 weeks

They surprised me and put balloons on the ceiling of our room

I celebrated my 25th birthday while we were in Seaside. It was a little different being only 55 degrees that day that never happens on my Birthday. So the morning I spent looking for Sand Dollars with no success so luckily my BIL found a whole one for me. Thanks Jason! We went down and played pool, fusbal, and ping pong. Then went to an early dinner at some Restaurant don't remember the name. But it was super tasty, and they brought me Chocolate Cake YUCK! but everyone else enjoyed it. Then we had ice cream at Dairy Queen. I almost didn't have to change any diapers for the day until McKell had her 2nd poopy diaper for the day haha!
Thanks everyone for all the phone calls, texts, cards and gifts. It was a great day and me and Jeremy are the same age again.

Seaside

We recently returned from a week long vacation to Seaside Oregon. What a nice vacation it was to have Jeremy with us all day everyday. We spent most of our time on the beach freezing so we would have to go to the pool that was slightly warmer to warm up a bit before we were so cold we had to hit the showers. We did venture out a few time though, we went to Tilamook and ate way too much ice cream, and to a Light House, Astoria to see the Goonies home, and to a different beach to see Haystack rock. Other than that we didn't drive thank heavens. McKell surprised me though on our 14 hour ride home she was so so so good.

At the top of some Column, we climbed 165 stairs to the top and boy were my legs SORE! I am out of shape.The beautiful Ocean

She wanted to pose here and get her picture

All the grandkids (plus 2 more to add this year)

digging in the sand

Our quart of ice cream the 3 of us shared, McKell was in heaven eating all she wanted me I was sick of ice cream afterwards.

Making Shakes

Ready to swim, someone suggested to get the arm things I thought she was too young but I am so happy I payed the dollar to try them she loved them and could float on her own.

Samantha 2.5 months
Owen 1 month

McKell tried to spend every moment with the little ones she loved having them around, me it made me nervous by the end she got a lot better and much more gentle with them

and gave Owen lots and lots of kisses

ahhhh

2 MORE MONTHS............. 2 MORE MONTHS............2 MORE MONTHS

Lets see I guess this was probably 2 weeks ago so I was 27 weeks. I am close to single digits WOW!! My sciatic (don't know how to spell it) has started hurting full force again ugh it hurts to move I guess this is about the time it hurt last time around too. So this is when I start to get real anxious to get this little girl out of me. I went to enrichment last night and I swear half of our ward is pregnant. Tis the season this is the time to have a kid.

Happy 25th

Jeremy celebrated his 25th birthday by going to church:) What a fun day!! The night before we had a BBQ with my family and his family but I didn't take my camera so if anyone took pictures could I get some PLEASE.

All girl

The other morning I was getting ready and McKell came in and got my contact case and was trying to open it. So I hurry and put in my contacts and gave her the case. Smart little girl started putting her "contacts" in too. Then I put on my makeup and she wanted some too. She is total girl but with a good twist she likes to play with cars and tools.

I don't regret my childhood one bit, but I was on the tom boy side from when I remember, so it has been fun to live through a girl with McKell she loves dolls, dancing, and pushing strollers and now make up and jewelry. All I remember ever wanting to play was barbie's. I can't wait to get her ears pierced but Jeremy won't let me now, so I told him as soon as she asks then it will be done.

Week with 2

We watched Cousin Nathan all week last week while his parents celebrated their anniversary. It was quite the tiring week. I am sure he had fun playing with all McKells strollers and dolls since that is what they fought over most often. I swear these 2 act like siblings they have conflicting personalities that is for sure.

We mostly spent our days on a bike ride and playing in the pool.

Then on Thursday we added 2 more kids to our chaos. We took Madilyn and Treven while my sister and her family went to Lagoon. It was actually a lot more fun with them. Nathan played with Treven in the pool so Madilyn and McKell could play dolls. Plus I had someone to talk to me. All in all I think McKell had fun having Nathan here but boy is it easier only having one kid, I am a bit scared for October to come.
