Quick Update

We have been enjoying the lazy days of summer lately and gearing up for school to start in about a week. 2 weekends ago we went on a fairy ride to Virginia for a rainy day outing. I am still surprised by all the rainy summer days. This Utah girl is not used to rain in the summer almost everyday.
We went for an ultrasound on Monday but baby was being shy so we couldn't find out the gender, maybe next time! Here are a few pictures of the girlies- enjoy!

Sisters cuddling in the morning!

Becca sure enjoyed painting-mostly herself and not the paper!

Chesapeake Bay

Greetings everyone! I can't believe it has been 2 weeks already since we were in Utah! Sometimes time seems to go by so quickly. We have been having lots of fun since we got home. We have been to a couple free movies, a magic show and the beach! This last Saturday we drove an hour and half to Chesapeake Bay. We went to a place called Flag Ponds Nature Park that has a small public beach where you can collect seashells and other artifacts you may find. The girls had lots of fun playing in the water and looking for seashells.
The girls have also been having fun playing in the backyard in our little kiddie pool and with the water bombs we made from sponges. They also like to play on the deck with a bucket of water when I can't watch them in the back. Everything is back to normal being home and we are constantly trying to find ways to beat the heat and plan around the frequent thunderstorms. Never a dull moment here with three little kids!

Emma loves to read to her sisters!

School's Out!

This last week was pretty eventful. Emma got her cast off and her arm is all healed! Hooray! She also had her last day of kindergarten and is super excited to be in first grade. She is glad she will finally be a "grader"!
To celebrate getting through the year all together we went and got ice cream. It was super fun and super yummy! We also had lots of thunderstorms and even a few tornado warnings. Due to this we got a before the cast came off but not an after because it was raining too hard outside the doctors office. Becca also had lots of fun with mommy's makeup. Isn't she beautiful?

Update

So it has been a few weeks since our last post. The reason for the delay is that baby #4 is on its way! Which means of course I am sick. As Leah put it "mom that baby sure makes you sick!"
The girls are excited and have already picked names they like. Leah insists it is a girl and must be named Lizzy after her friend. The funny part is her friend Lizzy got really upset when Leah told her and said we couldn't steal her name. Emma likes Lily for a girl or Carson for a boy. Much better then frunger slam from last time around. Becca is blissfully unaware and loves mom laying on the couch since she gets my more attention and the opportunity to dress me up in hats and boas and I just lay there and take it. Grant is worn out from helping do all the things I can't. I am so grateful he is so willing to do the gross things like dishes and cleaning the toilet that can set me off. So in lieu of this happy news life at our house is much less exciting and less busy. But no one seems to mind too much.
Emma gets her cast off in 2 day and gets out of school in 3 days. Then we can get out the water toys to help us cool off. It may only be 80 but it is so humid you feel like you are taking a bath in your clothes when you go outside. Leah is excited to have Emma home to play with all day soon, since I am sooo boring. Becca is talking more and more and frequently surprises us with words. She loves her books and has her own names for them. Here favorite are boots which is Gossie, mouse which is if you give a mouse a cookie and howl a book about animals in the desert. Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks!

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a great, fun filled Memorial Day weekend. Saturday we visited the Smithsonian National Zoo. It was perfect weather and we got to see lots of animals. Despite a few meltdowns we had a good time. I have come to the realization that with 3 girls at least one of them is usually upset about something! Sunday we did our bbq day and grilled steaks for dinner. Leah especially loves her meat! Monday we took to the girls to Glen Echo Park. It used to be a large amphitheater on the creek but is now a public park connected to the home of Clara Barton, founder of the Red Cross. We didn't have time to do a tour of the house, but we did enjoy the park and the carousel. It was built in the 1920's and then recently restored. The girls had fun and were happy they go to ride a carousel since we didn't go on the one at the zoo.
This week it has gotten really hot and humid. None of us want to go anywhere unless we half to. Emma's class did a walking field trip to the grocery by our house today. Emma was lucky enough to get to take her Dad who was worn out from walking in the heat. Emma has had her cast for 2 weeks only 2 more! Leah's burned arm is looking much better so we seem to have a reprieve in the bodily harm area at least this week! Here are some pictures from our weekend. A few were also on facebook, but for those of you who didn't see them I put them here too.
