Blowing By

Just like summer is blowing on by.... so is Lily on her bike! 

 Our first little bike trip to the little library! Emma pushed Paige for quite a bit!

She made it!

I emptied some pictures from our little camera. These go back to May.... and I think most of them are taken by Emma. 

Going out to eat for Jay's promotion.

These 2 were so sweet and made me cookies for Mother's Day while I was napping.

Baby #3's Room

Baby #3's room is almost done. I snapped some pictures earlier this week after the girls and I did a bunch of decorating. There are some final touches, the pom poms from the ceiling, curtains, and possibly a bed skirt, to add. Oh, and we are putting her name on the wall! So, with that said, you all get to see the almost finished room, but not the final product :)

 This may be the only room in our house that has a cool wall.... was quite a bit more work than I thought but totally worth it!

 The girls and I did a bit of 'art work' to decorate her room with. I saw all of these cute ideas on Pinterest to use hands and feet to make jungle animals. So, we had a craft day in sister's room without her even knowing it and made all of these!

Getting Ready...

Anytime you are pregnant and are in the 30 week range, you are asked, "Are you ready?" I always think, of course not! There is always another thing on the list to get done or activity to do as a family of your current size. In the last week we have checked a few things off our lists.

Before the snow melted, we made snowmen and played in the snow.

We painted Baby #3's room. Jay took this picture of me.... we may have to work on angles...

One of my friends mentioned missing being pregnant, as they are done having kids. At this stage, I was like 'you've got to be kidding me!?!?' But, she reminded me to enjoy it as much as I can even throughout the uncomfortable moments and nights. And, she encouraged me to take a picture of my belly.... not a selfie in the mirror :)  This is the first of a few. I wanted Baby #3's room to be done and to snap a few in there. But, we'll start with at least this one. 

 And, a few more pictures of our crazy bunch so far.

Progress

My blogging has been cut back quite a bit as we're currently getting our house ready to be put on the market. Any of you moms who have participated in this adventure know how much work it is, how tiring it is, and how many things you re-do due to have your kids around. My parents came down last week to help do a few things around the house. Their help was greatly appreciated!

Early morning snuggles.

Drawing with Pa.

Headed to Lowes with GG for flowers.

Pit stop for some Caribou!

Now to the work!

Working on the sink.

 The girls had a blast with our mattress being in the living room for a day!

 Helping spot clean the carpet.

 They actually did some great cleaning on the grout in the kitchen.

Gotta roll out GG after all her carpet cleaning!

So sweet.

Time to wrestle.

Then, we headed to the Poucher's house while new carpet was being put in. We had a blast enjoying their yard and the beautiful weather!

Had to have snacks outside at home.

Lily and her baby.

Lily really enjoys it when Jay does this to her!
