Swimming at Eagle State

A couple of weeks ago we all went to the Eagle State Park to go swimming and see what else they have there. Aunt Kate was in town and came with us. It was great to have here there with us to help wrangle the kids, and the girls really loved having their aunt there with them. We had a lot of fun swimming in the river and having a picknic. This will probably have to become a family tradition.

Family Campout

We took the family up past Lowman, ID to go camping. Its about two hours from Boise, even though it is only about seventy miles. The road is very windy, but it is a very pretty drive. When we arrived at the camp site we discovered that we had the entire campground to our selves. The girls though that they were in heaven, they starting squeeling the second we took them out of their car seats and put them on the ground. They immediately began exploring, some times investigating a little too much into things they shouldn't. Every sound and sight was the coolest thing ever. We took them climbing and let them explore the river a little. They only wanted to be so close, however, when they felt how cold it was. They got a big kick out of the fox that strolled into our site a couple of times looking for food. Megan has discovered her new favorite food - smores. She has alot of fun helping mommy and daddy roast the marshmallows. It got a little wet when it rained all night, but we stayed mostly dry. In all, it was a very fun family vacation.

Exploring

So we had our big ultrasound and we are having another girl. Here are her pics. She looks a lot like Emily's ultrasound pics. Little Cutie.

For all who don't know I am potty training Megan right now. (pant, pant) We had a potty party to celebrate the whole thing. We had some friends over. This is everyone doing the the potty dance. Meg is the life of the party! (P.S. any advice is welcome!)

I love these videos. I came in the room and Ken, Emily, and Megan were just singing their hearts out. (Ken's such a good Daddy). Meg is singing her ABC's and Emily is trying with all her little strength to do it too. I love how she tries so hard to pronounce the letters. Look at Emily's little face. LOL. So cute! Not to mention Go Megan!

Emily has been learning to talk a little bit. Here is her cute little "hi".

Ken says that Emily will ask me what I was thinking when she sees these photos when she is older. I think her hair is darling! Besides, she has little hair so I will use what she gots. Ken says she looks like Alfalfa with a bow. :0

This is Emily's cute little I'm very intense smile. I love it!

These are just brag pics of how cute my girls are.

I was shocked at how much Meg looks like my mom when she was a little girl in this picture.
