Summer is almost over?

Ok so it's been a really fast summer. I don't know where the time went? We didn't even go on any cool vacations. Mostly due to lack of funds. We did get to go camping FINALLY but it was for one night. So we will definitely be going again soon and for longer before I get too huge. My ever growing belly is becoming really inconvenient. Oh what's a prego moo cow to do. ha ha. Well I figured I would share some pictures of what we have been up to this summer. Playing in the hose has been a big hit this summer with Kael. He has learned to turn on the hose all by himself. This is not ideal when he is wearing clothes and we are about to leave the house. ha ha. oh well.

Swimming as much as possible. Isn't he so cute. He found these when we were swimming at my aunts house and wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

Playing soccer with daddy has been another favorite of Kael as well.

Decided to take a break

Then stopped to squish a bug

Then found some cool glasses to wear

Then decided to go for a drive.

He is such a goofy boy. I love him so much. He keeps me really busy and talks so much it can drive me crazy but I love him just the same.

Back in Business

Only a mother could love this face, ha ha ha!

I seriously pee-my-pants-laugh everytime I see this picture. We were playing with the webcam on the laptop one day and this was the result. Hope it makes you smile!!

Yay!! Two Down!!

I finally got two rooms completely done today! yay! This was Kael while I worked. I had my ipod going and Kael decided he wanted to wear his sunglasses and dance. ha ha. Such a goofy boy.

Kael's Room before....

And the Now!

Those weird rust color things are a kitchen set. They will eventually get painted and put in our little girls room. But for now all the toys are in Kael's room. Also the big blank wall, I haven't quite decided what to do yet, so it will just stay empty until then.

Also, I will eventually make curtains, but that's just another decision to be made.

The Hall Bathroom before....

And the Now!

I love these pictures I got from my mom. I painted the frames yellow because they were pretty scratched before from the move.

This is our Shower curtain. We got it on our honeymoon in California. I love all the old pictures of surfers. So fun!

Yay!! I'm so excited to have at least two rooms completely done!! Now..... a lot more to go..... ugh. I'll get there someday, I hope. ha, ha.

Home Sweet Home.... Sort of

We had our family pictures done a few months ago by our friend Jared Halbert. I always love our pictures when he does them. These are just a few but I'm seriously in love will ALL the pictures he took. Look him up he's great!

My sister left for her mission so I've been trying to document everything with this pregnancy so that she won't miss much. This picture is so nerdy but I didn't just want to stand there. Ha ha. I'm 18 weeks in this picture. My belly was looking like I had just gain a bunch a wait until about a week before this picture. Then it just popped and it's only getting bigger. I look smaller in this picture than I do now at this was only last week. Crazy.

We are heading to the doctor to find out what we are having! Yay!

When we left the doctor we were trying to think of some fun way to tell our moms. So we headed to Target. We were thinking just get an outfit, but Chase thought that was too boring. So then we thought maybe if we just got some onesies and hid a bow inside one. Then when we were walking over to the hair bow section we passed the scrapbook section. So I thought why not get a sticker instead? So we headed to his mom's first since she had Kael.

That's right we are having a baby girl!!!!!

So then we headed to my mom's down the street and made her find the sticker in the onesie!

I can't believe we are having a girl, so now we just need to find a name for this little munchkin.

So the after pictures are taking A LOT longer than I planned. We have so much crap that we had to have a yard sale just to make it a little more manageable. So for now here are the Before pictures of our home. Everything looks so different now its crazy. We are done painting for now. The only rooms we painted was Kael's room, our room and the laundry room. The spare room we didn't want to do anything until we found out what we were having. Now that we know I can start planning it out. Most likely it won't get done until after the baby is born, because she'll be in the portable crib until Kael is completely ready for his big boy bed. His crib is set up as a toddler bed now and he's been doing ok in it but he's not quite ready for the big boy bed. Hall bathroom we will eventually do a little remodeling so we didn't want to paint and then have to re paint later. And the rest of the house is a light tan color so it will stay that way until I figure out if i want to change it. We are loving being in our own home though and still trying to get things settled.
