August Fun, Labor Day and Dillon turns 18 months old!

Dillon sitting at the table like a big boy!

Gotta love that face and hair!
And, of course, Lily's cheese smile!

Zack stayed with us for a few hours one night. The kids had so much fun playing with each other...as you can tell from the toy mess!

It's not a party without popcorn!

This pic cracks me up...they are making the same face!

Pickle being sweet and charming!

Last Sunday, we went to the fair. It was so HOT! Uncle Jeremy and Heather went with us. It was fun, but the heat really wore us down.

The only ride Lily wanted to go on was the giant slide. Daddy took her on it.

Weeeeee!!!!

Weeeeee!!!!

Today, Dillon turned a year and half! Time flies when you're having fun! He's such a sweet boy! He's starting to talk more and more..."ball," "papa", "mama", "dada" are some of his first words. He definitely gets his point across, though, with pointing and grunting. His well baby check-up is on Sept. 16, so I'll have to report his stats then.

We went to Nana and Papa's today for a cook-out. We were hoping for a hotter day so we could swim but it was pretty chilly. We did get in the pool but only for about 10 minutes because it was really cold!

Papa took the kids for a bike ride up to the clock/bell tower, which is just up their street.

The kids love riding their cars on the driveway. Anson and I can wait to have a paved driveway, too. Maybe next summer?

Next Monday is my ultrasound! We're hoping to find out if we're going to have another Lily or another Dillon! Can't wait. Happy Labor Day all, and have a good week!

Summer Fun

So, I've been a blog slacker this past month, mostly because I was sick with horrible morning sickness. More like all day sickness! We've been busy, though and here are some photos from the fun we've been having.

For the 4th of July, our good friends Brent and Megan had a cook-out at their house, and then we all went to see the Hudson fireworks after. There were about ten kids there, which made it a lot of fun.

Our friend, Kim, was home for a few weeks. Her and her hubby live in California. We got to see her twice, which was nice. She's pulling her daughter Emmy and Lily in the wagon.

Once we got to the fireworks, we let the kids do sparklers.

We tried to get all the kids together for a photo. It didn't go so good.

My parents got an above ground pool, which Lily and Dillon love. Here's me, Uncle Jamie and Lily swimming.

Next year, my parents hope to put in an in-ground pool :)

Last Saturday we took the kids to the Jackson Food Fest and Fireworks. The balloons lifted off too. It was a fun evening.

Pickle pointing at the balloons.

The kids loved watching the balloons, and of course, the "boom booms."

Uncle David went with us and then later, Uncle Jeremy and Heather met up with us, too.

There were sooooo many balloons!

Playing with glow sticks once it got dark out.

The other day, Lily, Dillon & I got to meet Kari and her son, Christian, and Jen & Zack for an evening at the playground and some ice cream afterwards. Lily and Zack got Popsicles, which were very messy! Lily was a good girl and shared hers with Dillon. I had to give them a bath as soon as we got home.

Today we met Jen and Zack at the pool! Lily & Zack got to see each other twice in one week!

I love this pool because they have a really nice kiddie pool that starts at 6 inches and goes up to 2 ft. Lily goes everywhere in it, but we have to watch Dillon closely because he tries to follow her and falls underwater a lot! He gets right back up and keeps going though. I think they are part fish!

Lily and Dillon love to dance to Anson's video game called "Just Dance."

Well, I'm 15 weeks pregnant today! I go to the doctor's next Monday. The morning sickness is gone for the most part, and I'm feeling much better. I do run out of energy in the evenings, though. It's so funny how different this pregnancy is. I guess they mean it when they say each one is different!
