Team party

Your tball team -the Red Sox- had their team party earlier this month at the Herriman (county) pool.  You and Kate had been there once before with Grandma and Grandpa Lafeen and you were pretty excited to be going back to 'the Nemo' pool.  Pizza, a few drinks, a couple of cupcakes, and playing in the water with Grandpa Lafeen and Dad.  Couldn't have been a better time!

A few things

I've been trying to get a list of Kate's growing vocabulary and I think I should add a few of the things you say that aren't quite right... but cute enough that we don't want to correct you quite yet.

"I smell bad"  -I'm sure I've mentioned this one before.  When you first started saying it I wasn't quite sure what you meant, but it means you smell something bad.  When we're driving by the refineries in North Salt Lake, or maybe when Kate needs a diaper... you always announce that you smell bad.

"Strange Cheese" -String cheese

"Happy Mothers Day" or "Happy Fathers Day" -although there is nothing wrong with these two statements, you continue to say them all of the time.  Especially Happy Mothers Day, sometimes you'll tell me that 4 or 5 times a day.  And no, I'm not going to correct you anytime soon on that one.

"Hiding in the Sink".  Otherwise known as Hide and Seek.

I'm sure there's more... but I can't think of any right now.  I'll try to keep track and maybe update the post later.


Also... here are a few pictures that didn't end up in any of the previous posts

At IKEA with dad

What kid wouldn't want a giant dirt hill next to their house?

We're sort of transitioning out of your nap.  Sometimes you don't quite make it to dinner. 

Another no nap day 

This was the 2nd or 3rd night of you and Kate sleeping in the same room.

Sunday afternoon reading

You pretty much have this book memorized and read it to Kate the other day.  It almost held her attention...

Swim Lessons

We just finished two weeks of swimming lessons at Midvale Middle School.  They had a time where you could have lessons at the same time that Kate and I had mommy and me classes, so it worked out great.  

You seemed to really like the lessons and I think you've made a lot of progress with being comfortable in the water and on your way to develop some actual skills that will come in handy when you're in the pool!  I was actually super surprised to see you walking up to the diving board this week.  Once you got up there I think you changed your mind, but a teacher got up there with you and 'helped' you a little into the pool.  I was hoping you would have liked it... but I don't think you did.  Afterwards you were a little gun shy on even jumping into the pool without holding on to your teachers fingers.  

Anyway... we managed to get a few blurry pictures.  I think I'll take the next two weeks off and then have us back in the pool for another session before the end of the summer.  (I guess the mommy and me classes on top of being pregnant REALLY wears me out -I need a break!)

The other day...

The other day I was sitting in the living room with two kids on my lap.  On either side of my big belly with another kid on the way.

I was pretty happy.  I have cute, healthy kids.  Another one on the way.  I nice home, and good husband, and I was content.  If only for a moment.

I just thought it should be documented!
