July 28, 2011 Oliver Is 4 Months.

My sweet Oliver is 4 Months. He weighs over 16lbs! He is such a happy boy. He loves everyone, and gives smiles away freely. This boy loves his dad and gets so excited when Jordan comes home.

He also loves his sister. They are so funny together.

Help me Rhonda, I just got a glimpse into my future.

July 18, 2011 Wilson's Arch.

On our trip back from Texas, we stopped at Wilson's Arch. Jordan took Aislin all the way to the opening. I think it will be the last time he takes a toddler up there alone. Aislin had fun though, she did walk some of the way.

Aislin was very tired after the hike. Jordan was too, but I didn't get a picture of him.

My sweet Nickolas and I. I love this guy. It's so hard living so far away from him.

July 15, 2011 (Texas)

We had so much fun in Texas. I can't wait to go back. Aislin loves to talk about going back.

Here we are hanging out with family on our last day. Jumping on the trampoline and getting all the fun in we can.

My former sister-in-law, Angela, makes this face all the time. So funny.

Gotta love that hair. Static electricity has taken over.

July 09, 2011 (Texas) Pool.

We were able to go swimming the next day. We were all so glad to be able to cool off from the Texas heat. Too bad the water was warm. The Texas heat had warmed it up enough to feel like a heated pool. It did feel good once the sun went down and also when you got out of the pool.

I'm so sad I didn't get any pictures of Aislin in the pool. This was her very first time in a pool, and I was nervous. She did awesome though. She was scared at first, but before we knew it, she was dog paddling on her own (with arm floaties) and Jordan was throwing her in the air and she would go down in the water, but come up smiling and wanting more. GO GIRL!

July 08, 2011 Texas Trip.

So this July we decided we would drive to Texas with 2 small children. And by small, I mean an almost 3 year old and a 2 month old. We also took Harley.

Yes, we are gluttons for punishment. Thanks for asking.

Actually, it wasn't too bad. It did take us 2 and a half days to get there, but the kids did pretty good. Oliver was DONE with the carseat by the second day, and it took us longer, because we had to stop, because he would cry so hard he would be covered in sweat. And I didn't even let him cry for more than a couple of minutes. I just couldn't handle it.

Needless to say, we stopped often to nurse him, and during these times, Jordan would take Harley and Aislin for walks. It was good for them to get their wiggles out.

I am so thankful for technology. We have a DVD player installed in the van, so Aislin was in hog heaven watching movies. We also hooked up the portable DVD player so that Oliver could watch his Baby Einstein from his rear facing seat. That helped tremendously.

Here are some pictures from our first full day. We went over to my brother Ben's house to help him put the foundation in for his above ground pool.

Here is Aunt Lisa with Cousin Lily and Oliver.

Gramma Robin with Cousin Ava. She was born just a week earlier than Oliver on my birthday.

Ben looking like a farmer.

Jordan hard at work. He was anxious to get the pool up and get in it.

Cousin Trinity and Aislin were good helpers. Aislin was not used to the heat and humidity. She also skipped her naps a lot while we were there. Her hair curled up a lot in the humidity too.

Cousin Joseph helped too.

After all that hard work, the kids were able to play in the sprinklers and get soaked.

Ben.

Gramma Robin in Grandma Heaven. This brings back lots of memories for her, when my twin brother Nick and I were babies.

Sweet Joseph was so happy to hold Oliver.
