Three Wishes

One evening last week Ryan asked the girls what 3 wishes they would wish for if they were stranded on a desert island. I loved their answers!

Kessiah:
1) to go home
2) lots of books to read
3) a horse to ride


Jenessa
1) a bowl as big as the earth filled with candy
2) a bowl as big as the earth filled with water
3) a bowl as big as the earth filled with veggies or other "good for you" foods

4th of July

Our 4th of July was a little untraditional for us. We actually stayed at home...for obvious reasons! Since I have a hard time doing very much walking right now, we spent most of the weekend at home. Ryan got several projects completed including putting together our barbecue that we have had for awhile! We had a really good rain storm in the afternoon that damaged some of our corn. That evening we went to a barbecue at the church and watched the fireworks from the lawn there as well. We were a little disappointed in the fact that Arizona outlaws all fireworks except the ones put on by cities. So we couldn't even have some sparklers. Ryan did buy some confetti popper things but that was the extent of our personal fireworks!

June Update

Another month gone by...I'm not usually so anxious for time to pass but right now I am! I have 5 1/2 more weeks to go and if this baby doesn't come early I am going to fall apart! This has been the hardest 3rd trimester I've had...I must be getting too old for this!

We did manage to do a session of swimming lessons in June. Kessiah and Jenessa did really well. Sienna has a bit of an attitude and didn't cooperate very well with her teacher (nothing new for those of you who know her...just attitude!) Our YMCA has a place where they will watch your kids for a short period of time, it's not something I use very often...but that's where Logan went during swimming lessons. I just didn't have the energy to chase him around the pool area! It was a lifesaver for me right now!

We also made it to the library once a week for the summer reading program. Unfortunately, (for the girls) it is over. The library isn't doing it for the entire summer this year so they can get ready to move into their new building in September. Tuesday was the last program. The library gives away a little goodie bag and each child gets to pick a new book on the last day. Also the 2 kids in each grade that read the most books also wins a t-shirt. Kessiah and Jenessa both won the t-shirts for their age groups. Of course it helps to have a pregnant mom who doesn't want to go anywhere...so their choice of activities are read or play. I had such a hard time on Tuesday at the library, I honestly thought the air conditioning was out! One of the librarians took pity on me and found a fan to plug in that I could sit in front of. I think it saved my life!

Ryan took the girls to see the movie UP this month. It is the first time Sienna had been to the movie theatre since she was about 12 months old. At that time we went to see a movie and she lasted about 5 minutes before I had to take her out into the foyer where we spent the remainder of the movie. That is probably the last time I've been to the theatre as well! Ryan said Sienna sat down and looked at the screen and said "That's a BIG TV"

Logan's funny moment this month happened after he watched Ryan brush the dogs. A little while later he came out of the bathroom holding about 3 hairbrushes and was heading out the back door to the dogs. We realized (before he got out the door) that he had found some brushes and was going to brush the dogs himself! He is such a little imitator!

Another funny Logan comment he frequently makes is pointing to the vacuum and saying "Daddy's" I'm so blessed to have a husband who helps clean and does the grocery shopping!
