Belly Kisses - Coraline

They are now becoming very comfortable with the growing belly. 

They give Coraline kisses all the time!

We are officially 30 weeks now and have started a countdown with rings at our house! 

I cannot believe how excited they are to have another sibling. 

It almost amazes me how much more relaxed I am about well everything - 

pregnancy, labor, newborn, sleepless nights..... 

Bring on three I can do this! 

Nephi Joe

I think he will do just fine being the boy in between two girls!

 He seems to already want to be the funny guy and he doesn't even mind pink.

Summer TIME!!

This blog post should probably be called.....POOL FREEDOM! 

AKA no one needs to be held or in a baby floating device but they are able to swim and enjoy! 

We went to visit Oma and Uncle Tanner came along for a day in the sun. 

BEST THING EVER - PUDDLE JUMPERS

Livin on the RIVER

This past weekend we took Levi's 'new to us' motor into a shop to see if we can get it ready to put in our 'garage sale' river boat.

We are SO excited to take the kids out on the river in front of our house.

Meanwhile Elliot got a river boat and he and Maggie came up to our house to pick us up for a ride - the kids were sleeping so we hung out awhile and then Levi took off with them to scope out our new playground.

This is what happened!!!

These HUGE fish actually jumped up and hit them and then landed in the boat!

Now because they are Asian Carp they are actually a threat to the river and electrified fences are put in to stop them from spreading into Lake Michigan. So, you are not allowed to put them back in the river so Elliot decided they would be a great treat for his pigs.

Hopefully by next weekend we will have pictures of us in our boat on the river!

Maddie's Birthday at the Farm

On Saturday, we headed to a birthday party for Maddie - Maggie's daughter.

 

It was a blast. We got to see everything on the farm which is always entertaining.

Goats, Sheep, Pigs, Chickens, and Horses 

 

Levi also remembered after we visited the horses .....that he is very allergic.

Happy Father's Day

On Father's Day we went to church and then heading out to Jack & Jane's for a family BBQ.

It was perfect. The sun was shining, food was amazing, and of course we got to swim in the pond.

I dont have any pictures because we were having such a great time.

As soon as we left the kids fell asleep for the night.

 

Happy Father's Day!

Ms Tori & Clairana

 This is my cousin Tori who just turned 22 this past month. I remember when Tori was born mostly because Brittany and I were the only girls in the family and we were SO excited to have another girl! Tori is now in Florida and going to college at Full Sail.

 My Aunt Angie sent this picture to me because when she showed it to Clairana on Easter - she thought it was her. What do you think?

 

Dinner with G & G Gobel



This past Friday, we went to Bruno's with my Dad and Patty

for an early celebration of Clairana's birthday.

Then afterwards they came back to see the house and of course play on the swingset.

Cousins!

 This is my cousin Brittany and her two little ladies....

Our mothers are sisters.

Brittany's mother Jeanie passed away two years ago from cancer - look at these precious grandbabies she has! Looking at her two little girls makes me very excited to have little sisters!
Brittany nor I have any sisters so we were the closest thing to it growing up.

Family Fun at the River

This past weekend we went out to Levi's grandparents house

to play in the water and enjoy the sunshine!

 

Thanks to my SIL I stole some pictures...

I was too nervous to have my phone around the water with the little ones.
