We had the kids pics taken at Sears last week. They did very good! I am happy with the pics. We've already gotten some and will get the rest next Friday. We even made our appointment for Christmas pics... for 5! AH! :o)

3 YEAR OLD BOY!!!
3 years!
2 years!
1 year!
Just born!
Oh my goodness. Baylor, you are three! Wow how time has gone so fast. You are the sweetest boy. You love your sister, blanket, duck and Octy. You love playing cars, tractors, trucks and really with anything that has wheels! You also love outside time and are great at riding your bike with training wheels. You are into finding acorns and rocks. When we go places that are outside (parks, the apple orchard, camping) you always carry a stick around. When daddy is working around the house (as soon as he gets a tool out) you are his little side kick. You love building and hammering and fixing things. You also have a wonderful vocabulary. You speak extremely well for your age and have for a year now. You can count to 21, you know your ABC's and can recognize many letters. You enjoy preschool and art projects. You are finally potty trained! Yay! You regressed for quite a while over the summer, but are going strong now. You have had a few accidents, but are even dry most naps. I love thinking about how you will be with a new baby around. I think you will be a great big brother! You may start off a little shy, but I think you will settle into your place as a big brother. Well, Baylor, I love you so much. Every time we have a conversation and you speak your little mind, I smile. I just love your enthusiasm and the way you look at everything so positively. You make me so happy to be your mama, I love you big boy!!

CAMPING TRIP
Posers. Getting ready for the campfire and smores.
Yummy! We made our traditional smores - marshmallows, peanut butter cups and graham crackers.
Playing with their flashlights.
Yummy - sticky boy!
Beach boy - it was chilly in the shade and hot in the sun. I actually had pink cheeks when we got home and we were only at the beach for 20 minutes!
Sandy fun!
Beach girl! She made sandcastles.
Sandy toes!
And before we left, Averie got to ride Fred! He was quite large for a "pony" ride (I was picturing a small pony...) but we got Averie convinced that it was ok. Baylor, not so much. Averie went twice. And loved it!

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE
Cedar Point - Camp Snoopy
Cedar Point - Camp Snoopy
Cedar Point - The Ferris Wheel
Cedar Point - On the Ferris Wheel (yikes... not my fav)
Cedar Point - Train Ride
Cedar Point - At night in the water & lights.
Soak City - Baylor LOVED the water slide!
Soak City - poor Averie's eyes were burning from being in the pool all day (but she is smiling!)
Pokagon State Park - Beach Day
Just this week - water and soap play. And yes, they are totally naked. And loving every minute of it!
Tonight - Averie in the bath with her bubble gum foamy shaping soap. It smells so good!
Baylor and the same soap in the same bath!
Dirty, dirty water... at least the kids came out clean!!
After bath we went outside hoping to see some lightening bugs... but it was still too light. So we picked tomatoes in our garden instead.
Baylor and a tomato.
Averie and a tomato.
The kids in front of the massive corn field.
We visited Kitsen and Bronsen this week. Bronsen was napping when we took this.
Baylor, Averie and Kitsen.
Tonia and Tierney visited last weekend.
Averie and Tierney.
A week or so ago...
Averie and her manicure.
Baylor and his manicure... he he.
Wow... I have been meaning to do that huge post for a while now! I got a new camera because my other one was done working... and going on vacay at the end of July, then having bible school...
Bible School at our church - Camp E.D.G.E.
and having outside time, pool time, play time... it has been a busy-busy summer! It isn't getting any slower really. August has allowed me to organize the kids rooms and bring up some baby things... but I want to keep organizing and stay that way. Which is difficult when you are constantly coming and going. Matt's schedule is about to get a little better (he has been done with crazy busy hours, but still doesn't have a "regular" schedule, hopefully within the next 2 weeks). Just in time for flu shot season (which means chaotic days for him at work). I just hope that everything settles by October. As of now, September is not super crazy... other than me having ob visits every 2 weeks and Baylor having his 3 year check-up. We will also have to do some shopping for Baylor's Birthday. I am sure it will just fly by. Officially 10 weeks 3 days til baby day. I can remember being 9 weeks away with Baylor... and he is almost 3. WOW. I am getting excited to meet baby 3. The kids are too. They love to talk to the baby and I think are so used to it being inside me that when the day gets super close they will have a hard time believing it! But, they know that once Baylor is 3 it is very close to baby day. I am so excited to see their reaction. Since my surgery is at 8am, I expect that they won't get to the hospital until we are in recovery, possibly until we are in a room, which will work out good as long as they don't take the baby right away. I remember them wanting to take Averie like as soon as we got in our room. And I didn't like that. I will have to figure out if that is really necessary and if Matt can go along to bring the baby back ASAP. I am sure it will all work out. Ok, so this post took me like 2 hours to complete and it is now almost 12am. I am off to bed! Night!
UMM, YEA... after I typed all of that about September, I realized that there is a U of M home game EVERY Saturday in September. So... September will be busier than I realized, because if Matt isn't at a game he will be at work. So... pretty much we will have some appointments, shopping days, football games, playdates a Birthday or two or four... and then a newborn and a 4.5 year old and a 3 year old. Exciting but wild. Good thing I still feel super energized and not sick anymore... that needs to keep up for the next 10 weeks! Ok... good night for real this time! ;o)
