So the other day we had some excitement. Kurt was out mowing the yard and found 2 little bunny rabbits in our tall grass. The girls thought it was great. Kurt put the rabbits back and one stayed until the next day. He tried putting food and water out for the rabbit, but it didn’t eat any of it. We went back out the next day and the rabbit was gone. Here are some pictures of the cute little rabbit.
Well time sure does fly. I am almost in my 3rd and FINAL trimester of pregnancy! This, so far, has been an excellent pregnancy. Besides feeling like a big cow or maybe elephant, I feel great. He is moving all the time. He is getting so big that I am feeling elbows, feet, etc….I LOVE it. Sydney is so cute the way she talks to him in the belly and tells him she loves him. She wants to name him Funny Funny…but I wouldn’t count on that one. We still have not picked out a name. We have one we like. We will see.
Today the girls were dressing up like different princesses and dancing to music. I thought it would be a great time to get some pictures of them being themselves! They are so much fun and enjoy dressing up. Of course, Samantha found a book a few pictures in she decided to read and Sydney loves haming it up for the camera. She was getting tired of me taking their pictures as you can tell by her face in one of the pictures. I will upload more later to the gallery after I edit them with my new software, if I figure out how to use it! Check back later.
Don’t worry…It was not Samantha and it was ON PURPOSE. Sydney has been wanting her haircut for awhile now. She really wanted a short bob, but I think her hair is too thin to pull that off. We went today and she got it cut. She told me when we left that she LOVED it. That is all that matters. She is really happy with her new ‘do’.
Sydney started her soccer season on Saturday. It is a program she has participated in for three season now. Kurt is her coach again. She really seems to enjoy it this season. We have a few kids from Sunday School that are on her team as well. They all went out there on Saturday and enjoyed themselves at practice. Kurt does a nice job as their coach. He is really good getting the kids involved and having fun. We are looking forward to another great season!
Today I thought it would be fun to have a little photo shoot with the girls. I put them in white dresses that MoMo made them last year and hang up some black fabric. The girls thought it was fun to act like models but then all they wanted to do was dance in the dresses. Since we got this camera, I am trying to learn different ways to use it. I put some pictures up today from our “shoot”. Check them out in the gallery below.
Saturday afternoon/evening, we had a Sunday school social for our class and welcome our new pastor Jeff and his family to FUMC- Forney. The Simank family was nice enough to open their home and pool to 40 or so of us. We all had a great time. We have such a great group of people in our Sunday school class. We feel blessed to have formed a relationship and bond with so many different families. We had brisket, chicken, pulled pork, sausage, endless sides, and DESSERTS! We spent the afternoon swimming and watching the men compete to create the biggest splash into the pool. I think a good time was had by all and we are looking forward to doing it again. Check out pictures from the party in our gallery with the link below.
So, lots has been going on around here….Sydney finished up with swim lessons. She did a great job. She even went down the big slide on the last day (with her eyes closed), but she did it! We are still working on getting Samantha to sleep in her bed…Most nights now she falls asleep somewhere in the floor and we take her and put her back in her bed. Then she will stay in her bed for the night. We celebrate that!!! It is better than her waking us, me, up 3-4 times a night. It is getting better. I am now in my 6th month. I am 25 weeks along and the little guy is a kicker. It never gets old I tell you. This is my 3rd and I still love feeling every kick! I have been terrible about taking pictures. Kurt took one the other night I am going to post in the gallery. I cut my face out of the pictures because I was not really wanting my picture taken that day…But you can at least see my belly. Sadly, I believe this is the first picture of my belly for this pregnancy. Time sure does fly with secondary pregnancies. Also, today my parents are celebrating 20 years of marriage. Yeah Beth and Scott!
On a sadder note, my Aunt Janice passed away on Thursday in St. Louis. She leaves behind 5 children and many grand children and one soon to be great grand child. This was both expected yet unexpected. She has battled cancer for many years. She had a clean bill of health this last time, but she knew something wasn’t right. Please keep her family and my grandmother in your prayers. My grandmother has lost 2 children in 10 weeks. My Uncle David passed away in late May to liver cancer. I know it is hard for her to imagine a world in which her children are not a part of at this time. She is one amazing lady that has dealt with many things in life with a great attitude. I appreciate your thoughts and prayers for her.
Thanks to Jeremy and Leia, we received a box of sparklers after their wedding. (They had extra). So we took the girls outside the other night to light them. Sydney loved them. She would have played with them all night. Samantha didn’t know what to think at first, but she did end up having a good time with them as well. While we were out there, we saw a double rainbow. I said I had never seen one before, but Kurt tells me I say that every time I see one, so I guess I have seen one before. It was really a sight. We didn’t get any rain, but somewhere did, so we got a beautiful rainbow. Check out the gallery of pictures.
Our neighbors got married on Sunday and it was such a beautiful ceremony and reception. But the best part of all of it was how in love they looked (and are). They are wonderful people and we are really happy for them. The girls had a great time at the wedding. They cried when it was time to leave. They were some dancin’ fools. When we said to Samantha, let’s go see Leia and Jeremy have their first dance, she made off through the crowd so fast we couldn’t catch her. We finally caught up to her to find her dancing around the happy couple during their first dance. I guess it didn’t bother Samantha no one else was dancing. Jeremy and Leia had a good sense of humor about it, thankfully! The girls were wondering when Leia was having her next party. We all had a really good time.
