Keuka Lake Camping & A Wedding

My cousin Kayleigh was getting married so we decided rather than get a hotel...we would camp with the kiddos! It was our first camping trip of the year. The kids loved it of course. The wedding was right on the lake and it was gorgeous! What a great weekend to kick off SUMMER break!

TWINS!!!!

I finally got a positive pregnancy test after 3 months of "trying"! I was shocked...ad scared at the same time. After 2 rounds of blood work and all my levels seeming okay (I was put on progesterone to boost my pregnancy), I went in for a 6 week sono...all by myself waiting for more bad news! Well...I got the biggest surprise of my life....there were 2 sacks...of course the ultrasound tech said don't worry..lots of times pregnancies start as 2 but the 2nd sack dissolves and only 1 baby is left. Well...we looked over the first sack...and seen a tiny little baby with a heartbeat! Everything looked good! Such a relief...onto the next sack...and what do you know...another little baby inside with a heartbeat! Congratulations she said...you're definitely having TWINS! I immediately thought...this is Heavenly Father's way of giving me back the little one I lost earlier this year. Then I cried...and cried...scared..and also VERY overwhelmed at the thought of carrying TWO babies and taking care of them....going from a family of 3 kids to 5 all at once...oh dear! Anyhow...I was scheduled for a repeat sono for 8 weeks...which is the picture you see now! I went in solo again....in fear of the worst....and there I seen 2 babies..with even stronger heartbeats...and arms and faces...AMAZING! Both healthy and developing on schedule! HOWEVER...here comes the big issue..it can't all be happy news with me and trying to get this 4th (and 5th) baby here lol! I had a small bleed...at 6 weeks it was fresh....checked it again at 8 weeks...it's STILL there...old blood this time...but still a concern. I'm trying to stay positive but it's difficult. I really hope that my body works how it should and dissolves this blood clot....or I pass it without it effecting the babies. What a roller coaster ride already and I'm only 8 weeks along :( I go back for a sono in 4 weeks...July 12th....so PRAY that the bleed is gone and our little ones can have a better shot of making it here to Earth to be part of our family. <3

Memorial Day Parade

Of course the kids were super excited to go to the parade with their cousins and buddies. It was smokin hot and we sat in the direct sun! We almost made it to the end but I needed some cool air and water...so we left little before the end!

Brinley's First Dance Recital

All I have to say is...the most adorable recital ever!!! Brinley LOVES dance and I hope that she continues to love it as she grows older! I never did dance growing up so it's all new for me. She looked like a little doll and I was so proud of her! She got up on stage in front of everyone and had fun! Although the pictures are cute, the video is much cuter! Jim was out of town in Utah for a church audit training, so Nanay came with us! Tristan did NOT want to be there at all and was very annoying the entire time! The pics tell it all I think!

Malone Trip

Jimmy had to go do an audit training for church in Malone (4 hours north of us) so we decided to book a hotel with a pool and all go with him for a night away. There was nothing to do in Malone that's for sure! Not even a movie theater! But...all the kids cared about was that awesome indoor pool! We went swimming 3 times :) They would have stayed in all day and night.

Opening Day and Art Show

Opening Day of baseball this year was a busy one! Jim is coaching Tristan's coach pitch team and I am coaching Easton's t-ball team. We both had games at the same time on opening day! The boys love playing baseball, Tristan more than Easton at this point. Tristan's artwork was selected for the school art show. We went, found his picture and he was over it...so we left :) At least we can say we went to it. He even skipped his baseball game to go! What a great little turtle picture he made!

Jim's 31st Birthday

All the kids kept talking about was taking him to Outback for dinner :) So that's where we went..and of course we got him a cupcake cake so the kids could have it lol :) h
