More swimming

Jayna just finished another session of swimming lessons. Every time she starts a new session she cries that she misses her old teacher and doesn't like the new teacher for the first day. And then she realizes her new teacher is nice too and cries when she's done with that teacher. I've started bribing her with a Booster Juice if she goes the first day without crying at the edge of the pool, so far so good!

This was the last day of swimming lessons and the teacher let them ride around in the canoe for a while, they loved it! It's fun to see Jayna really making progress in her swimming, and she loves it. She's come a long way from my little girl who was terrified of the water.

Baby Update

 30 weeks

 

Jayna and Kepler love giving the baby hugs and kisses!

 

 31 weeks and 34 weeks

 I'm getting really big and uncomfortable this month. It's getting hard to move and sleep and because it's getting nicer out my feet and hands are getting swollen. This is definitely one of the hardest parts of pregnancy, but I know it will all be worth it!

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to Gibb, we love you Daddy!

The kids were actually being more cooperative than Gibb for these pictures. ;) Gibb has the same squinty eyed problem as his mom when it comes to taking pictures with a bright flash.

Summer Vacation

Since we're having a baby right in the middle of the summer this year we couldn't really plan any kind of vacation at all. So a 5 day trip to Edmonton in the middle of June that coincided with my final ortho appointment will have to suffice. It was perfect timing to get to see Brett and Jenny once while they're here too.

A visit to Great Grandma Gibb's house, which always includes cookies and usually a swim in her pool

Kepler & Jayna with Grandpa & Grandma Fitzner

Another tradition at Great Grandma's is getting a ride on the way down/up from swimming

Gibb took the kids out to the lake one day while I was busy at appointments getting my braces off!! (pics of that to come soon)

We tired Kepler out this week

A trip to Galaxyland while we did some shopping

I find that on trips like this I barely take my camera out at all. We also got to see Jo and Dave's beautiful new house, go to the temple and even sneak in a date night! I also got to spend a girl's night out with some friends which is always a good time. It had been a while since our last trip to Edmonton so it was so good to see everyone. Now if the baby decides to come a little early maybe we can sneak in one little trip at the end of the summer too!

Kiddie Pool

We had to get a new kiddie pool this year, and we ended up buying one that's more like an Olympic sized kiddie pool. The kids have been out there so much! We really need to have some friends over for a pool party in this thing, it's so big.

 An intense game of twister, I think Jayna's going to win! ;)

More fishy entertainment, they love helping Gibb clean the tank.

It's hard to get a picture of Kepler looking at the camera because he only has eyes for his big sister

 Matchy matchy

 Kepler's first crush, Petra McWilliams. Kepler is in nursery with Petra and they are only a week apart. He has loved her ever since they were in nursery together. He talks about playing with her a lot. And this day when she came over he said I'm going to give Petra a hug and a kiss. And he did!

Jayna all ready for her dance recital and killing time, Kepler crossing his legs kill me! 

Breakfast in bed on Mother's Day!

All ready for dance, she's getting so excited for her dance recital!

I have no words...

My little poser

Hahaha, and once again I have no words...

Summertime!

First day running through the sprinkler and eating popsicles in the backyard. It's definitely starting to feel like summer!
