My tan girls

These two have had good times and hard times, but have since become really sweet sisters. They even want to sleep in the same bed and dress a like sometimes. Being the middle child is not easy unless you do it together!

July

 Boopy loves to hug the baby. She says things like, "I hope the baby likes meat, because meat is yum-my!" Yes she calls the baby a she. She wants a baby sister so bad. Only a few more weeks to see if her wish is granted. I love those big brown eyes and bathing suit tan lines!

Not the best picture, but I wanted to get some belly photos in before the baby is out. This is me reluctantly buying a maternity bathing suit with only a few weeks left. We have been living at the pool, beach and beach club this summer, so I had to get something that would fit me.

As I am in the third trimester I am starting to feel the aches, exhaustion again and having to go to the bathroom all night, but luckily I have a super supportive husband that helps relieve me whenever he can. He got up early this morning cleaned downstairs, made breakfast and DINNER! He made veggie enchiladas and put them in the fridge for me to warm up come time. The girls and I are so incredibly blessed to have him. Here he is looking for crabs for the girls at Salt Creek beach.

Here are my tree climbing monkeys enjoying our incredible beaches and weather. Doesn't get much better than this.

We Love America!

Fourth of July was spent at our ward water party, swimming, BBQing and fireworks with friends. The next morning we didn't wake up until 9:45am! When I woke up I found Maddie quietly building the American flag with legos. Fun day!

Nails

The girls have been begging for fake nails like Kimmy, so they did some extra chores to earn them. Maddie and Brookelyn immediately started acting older and pretending their rooms were their apartments. The little girls were pretending to be animals with claws. I Love these girls!

30 weeks pregnant

This pregnancy has been a great experience for all of us. The girls are older and can really understand the process. Maddie rubs my sore feet while Ashelyn asks questions about Hypnobabies. Brookelyn sings to the baby while Boopy constantly says," I love you, I hope your a girl". Although I spent a lot of days sick and exhausted, I wouldn't change it for a second. I can't wait to welcome another spirit into this family. Boy, girl, it really doesn't matter. I know that this sweet baby is suppose to come to our family and that's all that matters!

Cousins!

We had Lexie and Kole with us for 3 days and boy did they party! We went to the park, pool, beach for a bonfire and to the beach club! It was a water filled few days! I am exhausted today but it was worth it. The kids love being together! Kole got a little burnt out being with all girls, so yesterday Sheridan brought Bryson to the beach club with her so Kole could have a boy to play with. They all played for 5 hours straight in the water! My girls loved having Lexie around, she's like a big sister to them. Wish they were closer!

1st Day of Summer

I woke up The first day of summer vacation overwhelmed with joy. The joy of no schedule, no school, no carpool and being able to be with my kids all day long! I was so overjoyed I started shouting across the house, "it's summer vacation!!" The girls soon followed in the shouting. Then we packed up and headed for baby beach in Dana Point. We met Wendy and her kids there and bathed in the sunshine and cooled in the ocean water.
