Whole lot of Summer...

So on to June... it has been HOT, and so we are keeping
busy with lots of summer activities.

Seriously, I just can't resist this girl.

Ellie wants to play in the water ALL THE TIME!
(as you will see throughout this whole post).

Along with sprinklers and summer come icepops!

Ellie loves to play. In this game, she thought it was
hilarious to slam the door on me, then play peekaboo
and laugh whenever I act scared or upset.

Letting the Italian blood shine through... this girl
LOVES pasta.... and even things with strong, stinky
cheeses. Makes her daddy proud.

She also loves to cook. And everyone in the room
always gets to taste, while she says "mmmmmm"
as loud as she can.

She even got to have Tucker play in the sprinkler with her.
They both had too much fun.

Ellie and I were pleased to have Daddy home with us
ALL DAY on Memorial Day. It was wonderful. We started
with a yummy breakfast of french toast and donuts... and of
course, some Band of Brothers on TV (a fave for me and Adam).

Then of course some more sprinkler time...

While Daddy did some work on his new baby... a little $1200
Dodge Avenger. Yay for cheap cars!

Ellie saw me laying down to take a picture of Dad and looked
too cute when she came to join me.

Mr. Fix-it.

We also went to a park for a little run.

And Ellie was so excited to finally have Dad
with her at the playground (he's almost never
home during the day... except for Sundays. The man
works too hard for us). She showed him all of the
equipment she loves.

I got out a camp chair to sit in while Ellie played in
her kiddie pool the other day, but she decided it looked
comfy and took over for a while... as usual. Pushy little girl.

Too bad all the real pools around here are so expensive... we
will just settle for our little plastic one for now. Ellie doesn't
seem to mind.

More running pics, I know. But I like them.
Ellie and I also got to spend Friday with Dad, which
we were very grateful for since he left the next day for
his 2 week class in Cedar City, Utah. We drove to meet
him at various points for his 12 mile run that morning,
handing off water and such. We had a lot of fun!

Ellie decided that she should drive home.

And while we were there, I realized I haven't really
been recording my pregnancy progress at all this time
around, so I had Adam take a picture of me. So here I
am at 32 weeks. Feeling great... and very blessed to be
experiencing such an easy pregnancy again. I have to
remind myself all the time that I am pregnant, and that
this little guy will be here in less than 2 months! We're
excited to meet him!
