Summer is here!!!

It's day four of summer (well, actually day five, because it's 4:20 in the morning and I can't sleep)...but we've had an amazing summer thus far.

On Monday, ae went to the baby doctor with me and heard Owen's heartbeat. She thought that was pretty cool. Then we went to Granny and Papa's house (Grammy was there, too). Ae had Grammy help her paint a little wooden birdhouse to give to Granny and Papa. She said, it would make Papa feel better, since he was feeling sick. How sweet is this child!!!

Tuesday, we went to Grammy and Pa's house. Pa took the day off to play with us, as well. We went swimming for a long time. Poor Pa didn't get to swim very much, he was too busy grilling us some yummy food (that of course ae didn't eat, because she wouldn't dare touch any kind of sandwich other than peanut butter and jelly). But ae did squirt him several times with the water guns. She loves being in the pool. She will yell, "This is AWESOME!!!" And I have to admit to loving it as well, being in the water makes me feel not so heavy and not so pregnant.

Wednesday, we got together with our buddies and played at the Splashpad. We love getting together with Rosa Grace and Carter...and I of course love spending time with Sarah and Angeline. It's funny though, because the kiddos would must rather stand next to us, than get into the water without us. But they slowly warmed up...well at least Rosa and Carter did. Ae would go play as long as no one else was around the spot she wanted to play in.

Thursday, we finally got to hang out at home for a while. We cleaned some. Played with Playdough on the patio out back (under the awning, which was nice because we would occasionally get a rain shower or two). We met Grammy at Taco Bell for lunch, then came home for nap!

Tomorrow...(Friday)- Ae's going to play with Brittany and Kinsey while I stay home for a little bit and hopefully get some sewing done.

Here are some fun pics of the Splashpad:

Don't all smile at once...

Splish Splash

Looking too cool...

All this playing makes a girl thirsty...

"Mommy, I just need to rest for a minute."
I think by this time, they were all ready to rest for a minute...

Autumn's first Dentist Appointment

I took ae to her first dentist appointment on May 1st. She did so good! She got to wear these cool sunglasses, although she was a little disappointed that they were not her Diego ones. She did get for the dental hygienist, Tabitha...who by the way was truly amazing!!! She got a little nervous when the dentist came in though. It probably has a little to do with...okay, a lot to do with the fact that he was a man. But when he came in, she reached out to me, and said, "Mommy, will you hold my hand?" She's so precious!!! I sweet clean toothed baby girl! She did so good that they let her get prizes out of the treasure box.

Here are some pictures of her visit:

ae looking a bit apprehensive...

getting down to business...

She loved the suck the water out of your mouth straw thingy...it was her favorite!
And here's the dentist...what you don't see, is her holding my hand...

When we got home, she had to play dentist with me. She counted my teeth, and then she put on her dentist glasses (and talked about how they had those funny little things on them, like her dentist had).

Playing Catch Up! Starting with Spring Break in Kentucky...

So, I am a little behind on my blogging, but I can't say it's going to get any better with Baby Owen coming next month...but I will do my best.

During Spring Break, Ae and I went to Kentucky to play with Kristi.

Ae knows that Kristi's my sister, but also considered her her sister as well. I think it's because they fight like sisters, but also love like sisters! It's too cute. I think Kristi is the only person that doesn't ooh and aah over her, but treats her just like any other kid.

However, I also know that Kristi loves her more than she's ever loved anyone before. I definitely trust ae's life with my sister.

Okay, enough about all that...here are some fun pics of us in Kentucky.
