Still growing and growing and growing.....

I had an ultrasound this morning to check baby's weight. Seems, just like Carson, this child is going to be big...maybe even bigger then Carson. And today he or she weighed in at a whopping 5lbs 4 oz. I'm not going to do the math and let you know just how big this baby could get. (Actually I've done the math and I just refuse to share!)

I like to live in denial like that.

But I will tell you I'm measuring about 3 weeks and 4 days ahead of schedule. I doubt that means anything and other then I'm uncomfortable and crabby and still have 8 weeks and 2 days of this left.

Not that I'm counting.

So for now enjoy some pictures of our newest peanut.

A little break

We got a little break from the boys this weekend when they headed to Grandma and Grandpa Cameron's for a few days. Even though it was a much needed break we are very much looking forward to seeing them later today. Although I have enjoyed the fact that my house has been clean since Friday. From the looks of it I'm not sure who had more fun, grandma and grandpa or Carson and Declan.

The Air Show

This weekend was the Sioux Falls Air Show. We've been looking forward to it all summer and after watching them all practice earlier in the week the boys were excited too. We took a leap and went knowing we would be skipping nap time, something that is rarely done in our house. But the boys has a blast and so did Trevor and I. Being there makes you so proud to be an American. We do live in the best country....God Bless America.

I don't know who was more excited....Carson because there were alot of planes to look at or Trevor because he got to tell him all about them. :-)

Love the hand in his pocket.

Watching the F-16.

Carson thought it was too loud.

Why use a double stroller when you can stuff one kid in the basket.

Fat Albert. He helps carry all the crew members for the Blue Angels.

Flying upside...makes me sick just looking at it.


After wards Carson went through the bounce houses....

While Declan slept....he may be a little too big for the stroller.

Spray Park

This morning we visited the spray park in town. Of course one must always have their "unda wadder googles" and dives sticks at the spray park. You know for all that "unda wadder" swimming that goes on there.

Oh how we've missed the pool

It's been almost 2 weeks since we've been at the pool. This weird summer weather is putting a damper on our pool visits! But alas it was warm enough yesterday so we celebrated in a big way.

Carson worked on his tan.

Declan donned his "unda wadda goggles"

And we all ate pizza poolside!

Family Reunion

It was the Lee Family Reunion this weekend. Despite the really cold weather much fun was had by all.

Plus we spent some time relaxing at grandma's.

And of course....

A New Family Member..

No I didn't have the baby. Instead I was sucked into getting a dog! Isn't she cute?

Trevor and I have always talked about getting a dog. I always thought I was a dog person, not a cat person. Then I saw Miss Jenna when she was just weeks old and I was suckered in there too. Then I realized just how easy cats are and so getting a dog always took a back seat. To you know, things like having a baby, having another baby, moving, moving again, moving again...you get the point. But we were always sort of looking and talking. Trevor and I tended to disagree on the type of dog we wanted. He wanted a hunting dog while I wanted something smaller, like a Beagle. Well last week this cute little girl showed up on the Second Chance Rescue Center website and those big fluffy ears were enough to sucker me into going to look at her. They opened her kennel and she literally flopped at our feet for pets.....we were sold! Although it took most of the day to convince ourselves of it. Funny how adding a 3rd child to our family was an easier decision than adding a dog.

Carson loves her and adores her. It's been fun watching him get to know her.

Declan's not so sure. He likes to keep his distance (i.e the screen door). But he's coming around. He's so much shorter then Carson that I think her size intimidates him a little.

Her original name when we got her was Cleo. But all Trevor could think of was Miss Cleo, the Psychic. So he wanted to change her name. We talked about it for a few days and then Carson asked me if we could name her Emily. We were both suprised he came up with a name all on his own....and it was a name that didn't involve some sort of Transformer. So we said Yes!!

Miss Emily is a 1 year old Springer Spaniel. We have no idea if she is purebred. Her previous owners were not so good. Trevor's hoping to get her to be his hunting dog. I'm just hoping she doesn't make my house smell like dog!

And what will happen when there is 3 car seats in the car....I have no idea. Anyone want to buy me a suburban?
