SUPER Maddie

Maddie always says she is "super maddie" and runs around the room doing silly things. Jake took the girls to his office and got this funny picture. She is so crazy!!!

Picnic, Naps and Fireworks

We had a fun picnic at a park with a bunch of the Jenne clan even though it was super hot!!! We then came home and Maddie and I took a nap while Jake and Sammy went to his office to work on "projects" for a few hours. Then we did fireworks at our house later that night and Jake's parents came over too. The girls LOVED sparklers and were pretty good at it. They also liked the fireworks that we did even though Maddie said she liked them "soft and slow." Silly girl!! And no baby yet!! Last dr. app I was dilated to a 4 and I have been having lots of contractions, just not obviously the real thing yet. He may be waiting until Wed, the 6th, when my dr is going to induce me!! Although I think it would be fun having a July 4th baby!

Let the festivities begin!

Well the 4th of July weekend started out on Saturday morning with everyone painting (I actually did too after I cleaned up the girls mess). Sammy was being silly, Maddie was serious, and Jake was well who knows-creating something!!!

Yard Sale anyone?

Friday morning I came downstairs to find the girls having a "yard sale." Sam was pulling out toys from the playroom and Maddie was counting out cards that were "money" so she could buy stuff. Then Sammy was sitting at the little table ready to check people's items out. I bought one of my movies and a necklace for $3 pretend dollars. Not bad. Does this tell you that I like to drag the girls to yard sales with me in the summer?

What do you do in the Summertime?

Lots and lots of swim time! We have been getting the little pool out here at our house as well as going to Seven Peaks since we have a pass there. The girls have been loving it. The last week it's been in the high 90's so swimming is a great way to cool off. Oh, and also eating lots of icecream cones.

On Baby front, last week I was dilated to a 3 and 90% effaced. I was really hoping he would come this week because my dr is oncall until Fri and then a different dr is on call for the 4th of the July weekend! We will see because the clock is ticking and there is only a few days left!!! I don't know if he will cooperate so I can get my dr. Jake just says he probably won't come until I give him an official name, but I think I just need to see him first:) Anyhow, if he doesn't come before next Wed, the 6th, my dr scheduled to induce me that day. So it's just waiting on this little stubborn guy!!

Happy Father's Day

We love you Jacob! Happy Father's Day to a great daddy and husband!!! Thanks for all that you do!!!

Rodeo

Well for the 3rd year in a row, we took the girls to the Strawberry Days Rodeo. They actually really enjoyed it this year and so Jake and I did too!!! They loved the animals, events, and concession food of course! They have been talking about it ever since and wanted to go back. Sammy actually cried when we left that night (although it was waaaaayyy past her bedtime) because she didn't want to leave.

On the baby front, I am due in less than 3 weeks. Yay!!! I have been having a lot of contractions and feel like he is getting big in there but hopefully not too big!!! My dr. app last week things looked good and I am dilated to a 2. I may have to be induced a week early in order to get the dr that I want to deliver me. So maybe I am less than 2 weeks away!!! And no name is final yet, I think I need to see him first. But the little fella will have a name when he makes his appearance!! We can't wait. Maddie keeps telling everyone that she is a big sister and I keep telling her not yet but soon!!! And Sammy has a dolly stuffed up her shirt everyday pretending to go to the hospital and have baby brother. So cute!!!! We are all very excited and anticipating his arrival.
