I love little surprises

I was putting away some laundry in my room this morning and Abigail is bugging me to come into her room. I keep telling her that I am almost done and will be right there. I finally make it in her room and I see this....

She cleaned her room all by herself and I never even told her too! I love these little surprises and my little girl!

Little fish

The pool at our apartment opened up on Memorial day and we have had lots of fun playing in it. It is in direct sunlight all day so it stays pretty nice for not being a heated pool. Our friend is letting us borrow her daughter's "Puddle Jumper", and with it Abigail has been so brave and swims all by herself! We are going to have to get our own soon! And I don't know why I never went swimming when I was pregnant with Abigail, but I love being in the water too. I don't feel like I am pregnant at all, well until I try to lift my belly out of the water, haha!

Hope you enjoy!

Our daily entertainment

We have a family of chipmunks that live right outside our window and they are so fun to watch. They stuff their cheeks with all the birdseed that the birds throw on the ground and are just so cute! Today though, the momma chipmunk just wanted to chill out, literally.... look at her!!

she is right by the flower pot cooling her tummy off in the shade

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dads, husbands, and men in our lives.

I love you Reid.

Something we haven't seen in a long time... a family picture of us!

Growing Things

It is really great to see the progress that our garden has been making. It was just a few weeks ago that I posted about our garden. I meant to post last week when I took the pictures, but it is amazing the difference a week brings. So here are some pictures of our garden now...

 Abigail and the whole garden

 My little watermelons :)

 Even smaller cantalope

 The yellowish plants are eggplants someone gave us (not doing so well if you didn't notice) and then above that is our cucumbers on the left and the 3 big ones are the summer squash. We actually have two little squash growing right now!! Oh and since that picture, we planted a pepper plant right by them.

 At the top are the beans which are now starting to flower and below them are the peas.

 Our sad little tomato plants

And finally the strawberries. They are just kinda sitting there doing nothing.

And because the garden is not the only thing growing... Some long awaited pictures of the growing belly :)

This is a repeat of 22 weeks

30 weeks

33 weeks 

37 weeks

Only 3 more weeks till the little guys due date!!

Fun art with Abigail

Today Reid, Abigail, and I had a great time playing with milk. Yup milk. If you have never heard of milk rainbows it is super easy, fun and relatively clean art project that is always different. Here are some pictures of Abigail's masterpiece(s)

I love her face in this picture!!

 All it is, is milk with a few drops of food coloring. To make the swirls, just drip something covered in dish soap into the food colored milk and have fun!!

Hooray for Reid

I am warning you in advance that this is going to be a short post, but 1) I want to try to blog more (a constant goal of mine that always fails) and 2) because this deserves some recognition! 

Reid finished his first year of Medical School!!! Hooray!! I am so happy for him. He has really put so much hard work into school, it's about time he got a break. Happy summer babe!!
