Fun in Sun

There has been one word to describe this summer...
HOT.
With temperatures reaching 110 for week long stretches, we're doing our best to keep cool!
Here are some pictures from our 4th of July celebration with the Clark family!

This is something called Corn Hole. Lauren and Jake made the boards and brought the game.
We had so much fun and the kids LOVED it!

Then it was time for explosives. The children were VERY CLOSELY monitored and loved the sparklers!

A few days later, the sun was beating down and I decided it was time to bust out the kiddie pool! It was a huge success!

Drying off before heading inside!

It's been hot, but a good summer. Baby D is doing well and is really wiggling now! Jason has felt the kicks a couple times which is always so special. He loves to feel my tummy and has taken great care of me! The kids are growing so fast and learning so much! Manners are still at the forefront of their education and Bailey recently mastered "Lean over to bite and back to chew, so the crumbs don't land on you!" at the dinner table. Caden has mastered, "May I have a __________, please?" Which is so adorable considering he's only two and has better manners then most middle schoolers in this town! :)
Bailey and Caden are also amazing in the fact that at 2 and 3 they can completely dress themselves. We've been working on it for awhile because when this baby comes, I want them to be as independent as they can be. They both did very well this morning except for Bailey decided the pockets on her shorts belonged in the front... she also decided that high heel shoes were appropriate, but that's just her being a girly girl. Caden did great in his superman shirt an jean shorts.
Jason's job is going really well. The business continues to grow and they just hired his assistant an assistant, so he's pretty pumped! Pray for his boss who was diagnosed with cancer and is going in for surgery to remove it in a couple weeks. He will be out of the office for 2 weeks and Frank NEVER misses a day of work. It will be hard on Frank and Jason, who will be the go-to guy while Frank is away.
Tomorrow is another ultrasound and gymnastics class, I'm hoping to take some pictures at both so stay posted!
