{Enjoying what's left of summer and 24+ weeks!!}

Because it's starting to get A LOT cooler, we decided

to make one last trip up to Island Park for the summer time

part of the year to go 4 wheeling and boating with the kids.

We had a blast!!

Brayden wasn't too sure about taking his picture...he

was more focused on why his chocalate snack melted in his hands. :)

A new and improved way to eat a sucker!!

A little knee-boarding action

Grandpa let Kaydree take control of the boat...we loved doing donuts!!

And yet another project of mine for $4!!!

AFTER............ I love it!!

And you're all going to have to bear with me here. I'm having

a little too much fun documenting "the baby bump" of our little boy.

This is the 1st pregnancy I've done this with!! And I've grown huge in the last 2 weeks!!

This was taken Monday @ 24 weeks!!! Only 110 days left!!!

{Ta Da!!}

This past week I have managed to get a few projects done!!

I love the way they turned out!! I can't wait to decorate my new house......

I think I'm ADDICTED!!

What a FUN day!!

{A Little TOO much fun!}

This past week we have had so much fun!

The kids had free passes

to the Tautphaus Park Funland so we headed there Saturday.

After that we went over to the playground to play.

Austin surprised the kids and met us there. We

hadn't seen him for a week. The kids were so excited!!

That night Austin and I went out on a date to

see the Bar J Wranglers. It was my first time and

I loved it!

After church on Sunday we went to Yellowstone

because we had free passes!

Paint Pots ~ The kids loved these but Kaydree

was confused why she couldn't paint with one. :)

And this Elk was amazing! We were no more than 25 feet

away! A park ranger was there making sure we all kept

our distance!

OLD Faithful!!

An actual ok family pic thanks to the Denmark and

Sweden Girls!!

Kaydree Lynn....liking pics more and more!!

And Last night.....The David Cook Concert!!!!

He walked right past us!! It was a great concert!

I didn't realize how much of a Rock concert it would

be though!

And the lovely prego pic! Taken last night!

Just for you MOM!!

What a fun week!!

My BIG Boy and my new hobby

Since last Monday when Brayden's pacifier mysteriously:)

disappeared, Brayden has grown up so much! I'm not

the type to buy things very often for my kids but when we found these

4 wheelers, he fell in love. He loves to go 4 wheeling!!

Then yesterday, he decides that it's time to wear his big boy underwear.

He's not potty trained yet.....that's a working progress, but Wed night he went in

the toilet on his own! YAY!! I had to take this pic of him strutting his stuff!!

As for my NEW hobby.....I love to refinish things!!

This bookshelf was only $4!!

And with a little TLC, sanding, and 3 coats of paint......it looks like this.......

I decided not to antique it just yet but Kaydree loves it!!
