Happy Friday!

We decided to hit the pool this morning with our friends Cade & Carson.  It was a cool morning only in the 70's but the boys didn't mind at all :-)  We are enjoying these last days of summer!

Surfs up!!!!

We got the opportunity to go out on a really nice surfing boat last night and I'm afraid Jason is hooked! And I say afraid because I know Jason wants one of these boats someday.....and lets just say they are not cheap :-)

 

Before getting into the water with the surfboard for the 1st time

 

Got up the 1st try and trying to figure out when to drop the rope!

 

He's a natural!

 

And loving it.....this is how we surf in Idaho!!!

 

Love this pic below....surf's up everyone!

 

And of course he had to get some wakeboarding in.....this boat had a huge wake so he

caught some major air!

 

Love this one of my mom with Jake.....but you have to love Steve's face in the background as he is about to try surfing for the 1st time :-)

 

Steve's before shot.....he was excited!

 

And he got it...love the sunset behind him!

 

All his boys watching daddy!

25 weeks

I am 25 weeks along.....almost to the 3rd trimester.  This pregnancy seems to be flying by.  I am feeling raher huge these days and it doesn't help when several co-workers said to me over the weekend "are you about to pop?"....uh no people, I have 3 months left!!!! 

Baby girl has been pretty active, it's truly amazing to feel a human being growing inside of you.  We love her already and can't wait to meet her....well we can wait until the end of November :-)

Silly silly boys

I love this first one above...it really shows their personalities :-)

Owen and Emery being WAY silly before bed last night

Love these crazy boys....they are such a handful but wouldn't change a thing!

Big changes for Owen

Today we hit Target and purchased some "big boy" underwear for Mr. Owen.  He is going to be 3 on September 23rd so potty training here we come......I have to admit that I am dreading this milestone.  It is not an easy task to potty train but I am hoping that he catches on.  He is supposed to start preschool on September 4th so I am feeling the pressure.  His teacher says it's ok to send him in a pull up, but I would love it if he would just go in the potty :-)  And if you know Owen, you know he drinks a TON, I mean a TON of liquids.....so this is going to be tough!

He picked out Lightning McQueen undies.....they look a little big, but this was taken before I washed them :-)
And of course Emery wanted new ones too....he went with super heros, so batman won (he even got a batman backpack today for his new preschool).

Owen said the prayer tonight at bedtime and it went like this:

"Heavenly Father, thank you for Jesus, for mommy, daddy, Jake, brother (aka Emery), our bunk beds, our house, in Jesus name, Amen"........there is really nothing sweeter than hearing your 2 1/2 year old say such a meaningful prayer.
