I have been feeling overwhelmed at how far behind I am on what's been going on in our lives so here is a quick recap of what went on this summer.
My sister came into town for a few weeks and I basically spent every minute I could with her at my parents. I always love when she comes and try to soak up all the time I get with her while she is here. It's hard having one of your closest friends so far away, but we enjoyed the time we had while she was here. Ty loved having a cousin around his age. Him and Jake were so funny together, they became best friends super quick.
We went to Seven Peaks a few times, the boys loved it. Ty liked playing in the kiddie area, but couldn't get enough of The Flush and the tube rides. He is starting to become more adventurous and I love it!
Love this chunky little man. Ty and Gabe look nothing a like, from their cute little faces and body size to theirt skin tones. Even their personalities are opposite, hopefully that will be a good thing for how close in age they are!
The Fourth was pretty low key, we had an early family bbq and then back to our place for some sparklers and family time on the deck. It's always nice to have some alone time with just our little family.
We got to spend a weekend at Lauren and Bob's again this year. We love going down there and being spoiled with family time, food, games, and of course boating!
I was surprised how well Gabe did with the uncomfortable life jacket he had to wear. Luckily he fell asleep a lot when he was on the boat, and was pretty content when one of us was holding him.
Ty LOVES going boating. He is hilarious to watch because if he's not sleeping he is always smiling. He never wanted to stay on shore, he always had to be on the boat.
Jessica got married in August. We are so happy for her and excited to have Thomas apart of the family!
My twin sisters came home from their missions on the same day and same flight. I think everyone that was on their flight was waiting with us to see everyones reaction when we all saw them. I am so happy they are finally home!
So somewhere in between all the fun we had in May and my sisters coming home in August, I spent a lot of time on the floor with my boys and on the couch. I remember Dan coming home one day laughing and he asked me if I was every going to dress the boys again because they just chilled in their diapers all day! Sad, but true. Ty got used to me feeling sick pretty quick. Every morning he would come over and give me a kiss and ask if I was okay. Then he would get a blanket and put it on me, he seriously took care of me. Isn't he such a sweetheart! So this has been my toughest pregnancy yet, but I am very grateful that I am finally feeling a lot better. Being pregnant can be rough at times, but I am always reminded what a blessing it is to be a mom and to be able to have children. I wouldn't trade it for anything!
