June Part 1

We have been having fun with Troy home during the day. But I also LOVE when daddy comes home!! And the kids love it just as much. Ben can make them laugh like no one else. Not to mention, I am not as fun to play with. The kids are very aware of baby Miles and don't want to hurt him... or cause mommy heart burn. But daddy can throw them in the air, be a punching bag for Liam, and carry them around the house. Best dad.

I have been trying different products with Katelyn's hair. This was mouse. 

At playgroup, Katelyn was stung by several red ants on the ankle. About 30 minutes later she started to swell and turn red all over her body. It scared me and I kept asking if she was having any trouble breathing or swallowing. I gave her benadryl immediately. The doctor said that it was up to me to bring her in or not. We decided not to and kept watching her like a hawk and it went down eventually. She had several frozen go-gurts, so I could see she could swallow fine, and the socks were on her hands so that she wouldn't itch. Poor girl. 

This was me at a little over 25 weeks. I don't know what the picture tells you, but for me, I have felt bigger, much faster. Aside from looks, I got to feel this little boy much sooner. Which has brought a lot of peace of mind to me. We can not wait to meet our little boy in August!

Time Trials : The kids pre-meet to see how a real meet will go. Troy's turning point was here. He realized that he only had to swim across once for the actual race. The strokes need a lot of work, but as for speed, he caught up.

I don't really get pictures of the boys practicing, because I'm usually beside them, but I love being able to focus more on their piano skills in the summer! They are progressing great. Liam is in the level 1 books now, while Troy is half way through 2b. 

A big change happened to us when the Millett's moved. A family that we have gotten to know very well. Amy and I got along great and Ben and Wayne did too. We had a lot in common. I'm truly excited for them to be closer to family in Arizona though! Anyway, dAmy was the Primary president and I was her counselor. A new president was called, a woman I visit teach and I know will do wonderful! Yay! I stayed at 1st counselor and a friend of mine is 2nd counselor. We had our first primary meeting at her house. Both our husbands were with the young men, so we had all of the kids. They had so much fun, obviously!

Liam worked on getting as far across the pool as he could before grabbing the rope. Some days were better than others..

Michael has been a great play mate. This days theme was hot wheels. 

SO much rain! We also had hail... which means we are getting a new roof...

But these boys are adorable. 

Katelyn's first swim lesson! Brenna, the swim coach, is also giving Katelyn her lessons. She is very good at what she does. Morgan is learning from Brenna how to teach.
