Summer begins!

I am so excited that summer is here! Actually the weather has been PERFECT for this pregnant mama! Not too hot and not to cold .. just right! And the slight rain showers here and there in the evening have been wonderful to cool down the house right before bed! How nice!

Summer activities are well on their way and I am so excited for Sikome Lake to finally open again for the summer season! Last weekend, we met up with the McCollum Family and went to Calaway Park for the afternoon. I am so happy that we got the season passes this year. Well worth the money when I see how happy the kids were to be there! Carter was SO SO SOOO Excited to hang out with his Friends Lincoln and Autumn.. and on the car ride to Calaway .. and I quote "I love Lincoln, I love Autumn, I love Andrew and I love their Mom" lol Don't worry Andrea... Carter just consideres you the mom because you are such a great one... and lets be honest... Andrew acts like a child.. which is why he wasn't called "their Dad" lol The Kids had so much fun together!

Bentley was big enough to go on this little train ride... well, almost big enough....but Brian did a great job at just sneaking him in! He was in HEAVEN!

Lincoln, Autumn and Carter were all having a blast, ride after ride! Lincoln is a total dare devil too, wanting to go on all the big rides that he was just a little too short for.. I can only imagine how fun it will be for him next year!

Carter was wanting to do all the big rides too but I think he still has a couple of years before he will be tall enough to try them out! For now, he will have to go on this little thriller with Daddy (And Mommy.. next year when this little miss is out!)

And one last ride for Bentley to enjoy.. a car one. HE LOVED IT! Not to mention he had a beautiful little lady beside him but seriously, he was on cloud 9 and when it was time to get off he was balling! Poor guy!

The boys lately have been playing really good together too for the most part. I mean... not really safe games... but they have fun and I try to just relax and say to myself "boys will be boys" (Please ignore my commentary lol)

Poor Carter was exhausted from dragging Bentley around... before I started videoing it, Carter was pretending Bentley was a crocodile lol... Bentley was laughing so much! Moments like these makes me so happy we have these two sweet little boys!

Both boys are also addicted to wearing their bike helmets in the house.. at all times. Which really is fine by me.. more safe right!?

And finally, I am 23 weeks along now! Feeling excited and nervous to have three kids! I am also feeling SO SO SOOO tired these days! I started taking my prenatal vitamin again just the last two days... and it hasn't made me feel more sick than I already am so thats great news! I had stopped taking it (after being told to by my doctor) at 7 weeks because It was making me puke and feel so extremely sick, so she had me just take vitamin D and Folic acid. Im glad I can start taking it again and hopefully the little extra iron will help with the exhaustion.

I can't believe our little miss is already the size of a grapefruit! She's getting big and kicking like CRAZY! Mostly after 10pm! Sometimes she kicks so hard I can already see my tummy moving like crazy. This is my favourite part of pregnancy.. seeing and feeling her move. Ive starting buying her little things and she has a little section in our closet for her new stuff to be until we brave moving the boys into the same room and start working on her nursery. I love this little girl so much already, and Cannot wait to meet her!

Here's to 23 Weeks!
