Crazy, But Not So Crazy Week!

We've had a very eventful last week or so in our family. Monday and Tuesday I went down to be with my sister who was having surgery. I got to stay in a great hotel with no kids which is a vacation in itself - even though the reason I was there was not such a positive one. After that I rushed home to get clothes all washed and packed because the next day Adam was leaving to go to camp. He only had to do half a week, another sponsor stayed the first part of the week, which was very nice. I headed down to my parents house to stay with them for a few days. We had a great time just hanging out, nothing fancy! Caleb spent most of the time obsessing over their Disney World travel book, he had to look at every page with very intense detail. I think we've looked at that book 50 times in the last few days. He loves "Kiki", which is Caleb language for Mickey. We had a great time, because I'm not real into the whole "exerting lots of energy" thing these days - hmmm I wonder if why??
You know you're getting bigger when your son walks in after you've stepped out of the shower and tells you that your belly is so big that you look like Fat Pete on Mickey Mouse! Some of you may not know who that is, but you can probably imagine! It's funny though, some girls would want to go off and cry about something like that, but it just makes me laugh. It's quite the comical thing looking at yourself in the last trimester of pregnancy, pretty amazing what your body can do. I know that this is just part of how my body helps create a new life - and if you really think about it it's not that big of a price to pay in the long run! I was even walking out of Academy sport store the other day and the greeter said "Have a good day ya'll!" I looked around for anyone else, but it was just me - so I've officially stepped up to a ya'll at this point of my pregnancy.

Here's a picture of Jonah with his "Rainbow Pie" that he made for our church Pie Cook-Off. As he says he "won" the contest - which he actually tied for 3rd with an 87 year old lady. I think that's a pretty good accomplishment. He came up with the recipe for the most part and helped me make it. He knew he wanted a rainbow pie with all the colors of the rainbow, so that's what we did! Great job Jonah!

Today Adam took the boys on a "safari" at a park down the road. I'm not sure they saw any animals but they came back hot and tired which is a great thing for kids that age! It's been so hot lately we haven't made it out of the A/C very much!

Caleb's on a mission, isn't he?

This is a picture of Jonah reading his first book. He was so proud to be able to read it all by himself. The book title was "Mat", and it was a exciting adventure of Mat and Sam! The book plot was not exactly something that will be made into a movie, but we were so proud of this big accomplishment!
