Wow! I can't believe it's August already. July just flew right by for me. We had such a fun and crazy month. We did lots of fun things. On July 6th, James went on a two week business trip to Florida so me and the kids stayed with my sister and her family. It was crazy at times with six kids under the age of five! The kids had a lot of fun playing in the pool, riding bikes, playing with Legos and the girls of course played dress-up! They also were really great at not getting along!! But for the most part they were good!
When James came home, the kids and I went to the airport to pick him up. We were all so excited to see him and glad that he was finally home. It was so hard to be away from James that long. And he has to go away again in a few weeks for another business trip and I'm not looking forward to that. Thank goodness it's for only six days!
On July 22nd, we got together with my family to watch My fun and crazy brother open up his mission call. He's going to Tacoma, Washington and he is so excited! It's going to be hard to have him be gone for so long but I'm happy for him and I'm so proud of him for choosing to serve a mission.
Over the 24th, we had a little Pearson Reunion with my in-laws. It was so fun. They had this huge plastic tarp that everyone used as a slip and slide, played water balloon volleyball, and kick ball and we ate Pizza Plus pizza and bread sticks. My favorite! On Saturday, the 25th, James and I and the kids and my mom and dad in-law went fishing on their boat. It was so fun and relaxing and the kids loved it. Then, on Sunday we went to church with my family so we could be there when my brother got ordained an Elder. It was so neat. We also celebrated my little sister's 7th birthday and my dad's 50th birthday!!
Then, this past Saturday, we celebrated James' grandma's 88th birthday! She is such a sweet lady and we love her so much. Then we went and stayed the night at James' brother's house because they blessed their baby on Sunday. It was a beautiful blessing and my sister-in-law Mandi had the best food ever after wards. She is amazing! We also celebrated my mother-in-laws birthday too since we were all together! We have had so many birthdays, it's crazy!!
So we have been pretty busy doing lots of fun family things. And I'm sure August is going to be just as busy! As for me and the pregnancy, I'm doing great. This little girl sure is wiggly and I love feeling her move and kick. It is the best! I am already so in love with her. It's amazing. As for her name, we are thinking of naming her Anna Kaye. Kaye is my mother-in-law's middle name. It's hard finding names you both like. Anyways, that's probably what her name will be but you never know. I just can't wait to hold her in my arms!! I really need to post pictures of us all. I will work on that!!
