Bowling

We went bowling for Rustin's little sister's birthday. Tyce loved it. He kept rolling everywhere and would decide which ball we could have.



He was the keeper of the balls.


There was a track-hoe digging at the neighbors house and Tyce stood by the fence and watched for about 30 min until I had to drag him away kicking and screaming. I hope he grows out of this obsession some day.

Snow Cones & Cotton Candy

The elementary school hosted a carnival and Tyce had a ball. He loved his first "ba-loo" (blue) snow cone and cotton candy.




Inspecting the cotton candy. He wasn't so sure at first.



He decided it was ok.


Then we couldn't get enough.


He had a ball on the big blow up toys.



We visited some baby chickens with my niece Andelyn.





And we did some finger painting on a rainy day. He liked it for quite awhile and then had more fun watching me draw everything he requested which consisted of tracters, blue Ford tractors like Grandpa Palmer's, Green John Deere ones like Uncle Dan's, backhoes, trackhoes, Lightening McQueen, and Sally, etc.

It's a Girl!

So I'm pregnant. I don't think I've mentioned that on here yet. I'm about 24 weeks and we found out we're having a girl. Rustin was so excited. He wanted a girl so badly. He was perma-grin the whole day when we found out. I'm due September 8th. This pregnancy started out a little rough as they all do, but I'm feeling great right now so I am very grateful for that. I'm a little nervous to have two, one has been pretty easy lately but we're excited.


It was really funny. Tyce had to be in every picture and he is very good and saying cheese as you can see.

Girls weekend out

My sister Hayley lives in Wyoming and wanted us to come up and play in a volleyball tournament a few weekends ago. It was such a ball (no pun intended). We all left our kids (except Anna brought her baby) for the weekend and drove to Afton Wyoming. There is only one who is not a sister...can you guess which one? Hayley recruited a friend to play with us and she was awesome. We really needed her considering our tallest player was maybe 5'7. My favorite part is that I had to play middle blocker - if thats not intimidating, I'm not sure what is.


We had so much fun. We talked and laughed all the way there and giggled all evening like we were twelve years old at a sleepover. We played volleyball all day Saturday and drove home Sunday. It was so therapeutic, except I haven't been that sore in a long time. I could barely walk the next day.


Considering three of us were pregnant, we actually did really well in the tournament. I think we would have been in the championship if we were all about 5-10 years younger, but we were pretty wore out towards the end of the day. We really had a blast though. Thanks Hayley for inviting us!
