After our week at Spirit with the Haaks, we headed to Priest for the night. Our air still wasn't working and I wanted to be cool:).
Our neighbors at the lake offered to take Jared & Hannah out on the boat. The twins, Charlie & Gracie, were using a ski trainer for the first time. They asked if Hannah wanted to do it and she said yes happily. It has two foot holes like a water ski and the handle is held up by a bar. Hannah was waving and giving a thumbs up. She thoroughly enjoyed herself!
Dinner time shenanigans
 |
| Hannah is using her apple peel as an apple phone. The first iPhone! |
Hudson had to reexplain all his hooks to Hannah.
Then we came home to an incredibly hot house. We put the kids in the basement. They were adorable and went right to bed:).
The next day started our 2 weeks of swim lessons.
Hudson has grown so much in the area of water. Last year he struggled and was still fearful and the year he could swim the width and length!
He was the first one to go down the slide! He couldn't wait until it was his turn!
Hannah & I did the mommy and me class. She was ready for more but it was nice to have some time with her before baby arrived:).
Notice her pink dress?:).
Hudson's class was first so Hannah at her lunch while we watched brother.
Then while Hannah and I were swimming, Hud at his lunch.
It worked out great. Hudson would often join us on the edge of the pool, cheering Hannah on:).
One downside to swim lessons is ear drops. We are hoping for no ear infections this summer so we are doing proactive ear drops after each lesson. The bonus: the kids got to watch a show!
One afternoon on the way home from swim, Hudson pulled his water bottle out and he noticed his tooth was loose. He got a bit emotional about it until I told him that you get money for teeth when they fall out. Then he asked if I had any tools to help pull it out:).
We gave him more for his first tooth. From now on he'll just $1 or 2:).
We finally visited daddy at work!
Last pregnancy shot at 38 weeks.
Then it was lake time again for the 4th of July!
This is how my kids enjoy the car ride
Can you tell he's a bit attached/obsessed with fishing and his tackle box?!
That night we did a little fishing off the back of the boat. Hannah said she wanted to come "Me too!" but she should have stayed home. She was a bit too tired.
We caught one!
While trying to entertain Hannah from yelling "I want my Minnie and binky" I caved and gave her my phone. It doesn't help on the middle of the lake...not much reception!
The next day Kacey & Kiely offered to take Hudson out fishing. Aren't they the cutest!
Kiely thought they would be gone 20 minutes but it turned into 2 hours. Hudson is a fishing machine. Kiely offered him a snack and his reply was "Kiely we need to focus on our fishing!"
Meanwhile, Jared enjoyed doing our Farmall puzzle.
Joe had a few friends up to the lake and one brought a dog, DeeDee. Hudson loved her! He walked her around and she was the sweetest pooch.
Then it was time for fireworks. Based on how Hannah handled fishing the night before she went to bed early:(. Hudson and I went on the boat to watch the fireworks at Hills.
Happy 4th of July! Thank you to those who fought for the freedoms we have today.
PS dog is not ours.
Before baby comes, we had to have a donut date!
One favorite activity is putting the kids little fishies, these fish that swim in the water, and run around in the pool. Hours of fun!
One night while Jared was working late, we went to McDonalds. We had the whole place to ourselves! It was nice and ac filled!
Aren't these two the cutest?!
We're excited to grow by one more in the next few days! Can't wait to find out what baby Haak is! Hudson and Hannah now both want a sister:). We shall see!
