Two CrAzY Girls in the Tub and One in the Oven!

We had cousin Jessie over for a few hours today all the way until bedtime! The girls were able to spend a few fun scrub-a-dub moments together! They had a blast.

I am in my 37th week and definately starting to feel it! I may not look huge, but this baby has definately made herself at home. I cannot wait to meet her! We plan on naming her Natalie Ann Asbell. Just a few more weeks and we'll have a new baby girl. I think the kids will love having her around SO much! Right now we are in swing training . . . Geoffrey loved pushing the swing for Gwen, so I figured both children would want to push the swing this time around. Still needing to tame Gwen's pushed a little bit, but all in all progress is going well ;).

Summer Fun 2010

Time has been flying by this summer! We have been busy, but we are having fun too!

Our summer started at our old place. When we were moving this sled, I mean rocket, was a favorite toy for our children to take on many different adventures.

We also had to cook out on the ol' firepit before we left! Here Gwen and Geoffrey are enjoying their delicious s'mores.

At our new place we were able to enjoy the outdoor playground for a little while!

And then because the equiptment was not wearing like they wanted it to it was taken down and we will be getting new equiptment at the earliest in September. So for now we enjoy the yard, landscaping and riding bikes at home, and find other amusement elsewhere:).

Gwen loves loves loves flowers! She is really good about looking at them and smelling them. Thank goodness she doesn't try to pick them all over town! That is what I would have done when I was two, haha. Here are my spy kids! They love to wear their glasses and go on all kinds of missions.

We had fun splashing at the water park Friday evening. Even Nathan and Nick joined in on the fun!

The kids love to ride the carousel too! It is a good thing our pass from last year is still good. I think I have spoiled them. It is quite hard to have them just ride once and get off! They love to ride over and over again.

Today we walked to the nearby elementary school where Geoffrey will eventually go to Kindergarten. I learned that the playground gate is not locked during the summer so we went for some fun! Mostly I just took pics on the swings because Gwen was being pretty daring on the new equiptment which made me just a little nervous!

And the other morning we went for a walk and tried an idea I read in a book. You take tape and put it stickyside out around children's wrists. Then you go for a walk. When you find little trinkets of nature ie. leaves, flowers, petals, sticks etc. the children can stick them on their bracelets for decoration. It was a lot of fun! If you look close you can kind of see Gwen's in this picture, but I recommend it for anyone with young children!
