Water painting

I wanted to do some crafts with the girls and I figured that water painting may be fun for them. I took the girls to Target to get a few things and headed home with paints and snacks. I set the girls outside with a paint set and cup for each and let them make some works of art. It was really nice to watch them all get along and sit without fuss. since we are trying to get started on the remodling of our backyard we did not have shade for them so it got a bit hot. We moved the project in the cool house. The girls were so excited to hang their art on the sliding window for daddy to see when he got home. Talia sat for hours just painting away, she kept saying "mommy I done put it up". I'm so glad the girls enjoyed the afternoon and I hope to get them some more crafts for the week.

Window of art!

Talia was in deep thought when she was doing her picture of a "Happy face mama".

It was a bit bright outside so they needed some shades.

Ultrasound

So my sister asked if I wanted an ultrasound at 15weeks to see the sex of the baby, as nervous as I was I went to go find out. At first we thought it was a boy but then we saw girls parts...My sister thinks it might of had something to do with the cord in the way. So she said she is 50% sure it's a boy and 50% sure that it's a girl...I feel so much better knowing that sister thanks hahaha. After trying a few times the baby balled up and was like that's all you get. So I have to go back again in a week to try another time.

The baby's rear end, don't ask my sister took the picture~.

Here is the baby making a fist.

Here is the baby's foot. Boy I need a tan on my stomach....lol

Lake house for the 4th

Since our plans for Lake Mead fell thru Jake and I wanted to have a good weekend regardless of having to cancel our trip with our friends. We decided to join my parents at their lake house for the weekend. It was so nice up there, I had forgotten how much I love it there. We got to go on the boat a couple of times and just hang out and relax. My parents cooked amazing dinners for us and the kids got to run around and play till there heart was content. We even watched the fireworks from the deck eating snacks and chit chatting. It was really nice to spend time with my famiy.

My mom and Talia cooling off in the water. Talia kept flopping back and giggling.

Talia was able to drive us around the lake, she did a great job and did not speed much. I told Jake that I needed Chocolate and this is what he came back with. Gotta love his sense of humor.

We found an organic all natural slushy place in town and to our surprise it was really good.

I think Kaelyn was trying to get a tan or she was bored waiting to head out to the lake.

14 weeks with baby 4

Here is an updated picture at 14 weeks. The doctor tried to see what the sex of the baby was but was not able to see. Needless to say I was scared! We should know on the next visit what the sex of the baby is :)

Sea World trip

My mom and sister wanted to take the girls and I to Sea World for the day to have a little bit of girls day fun. I have not been there in 6 years and the time I went I was 4 months pregnant with Jessica. We had such a great day watching the shows and looking at all the aquariums. The girls loved feeding the seals fish and laughed everytime the birds snached the fish from their hands.

Taking a break with Jessica and eating a lemon slushy. It was really hot out there and I got really burnt.

Love how the fish in Jessica's hand is belly up. They loved watching the Seals jumping and fighting for the fish.

I love this picture of Kaelyn looking at the Beluga whales.

Kaelyn was a little worried sitting in the tunnel with my sister and Jessica. You can tell by the look on her faces that she was unsure of this :)

They look almost fake, the girls were amazed at all the flips and slashing that was going on. Next time we go we are sitting in the splash zone.

Here is the gang waiting to watch the Shamu show.

Waiting in line to pet the dolphins to only find out you have to be 10 to do that...nice lol

Monterey aquarium

This Aquarium was sooooo much fun. I really loved all the displays and hands on activities for the kids. They had a kids corner and the kids played there for what seemed like hours on end.

Checking out the huged wall of fish. Jessica took a great picture for me. She is not shy of the camera.

My three little monkeys. Trying to get them to all look is sooooo hard.
I loved the bibs that they had for the kids, this really helped with the hands on corner that had a ton of water.

This is one of my favorite picture of me and my girls. They are fun little ladies to hang out with.

Kaelyn really liked the hands on stuff. Here she is picking up a star fish that the volunteer is showing her.

Talia run baby! She was not okay with this exhibit.

This was so cool! The water would rush over this tunnel like a wave. The girls were a little confused at first and Talia went running for cover, she was not happy with what was going on over her.

Facinated with the shark exhibit and the divers that were in the water.

Monterey pier

My friend Nicole and I decided to take the kids to Monterey for a couple of days and visit the Aquarium and beach out there. It was really fun, I love doing different things with the kids. Between my friend and I we had 8 kids, and just my friend and I were the only adult...can you say SUPER MOMS. :)

All she needed was a shovel and bucket.....my sand baby!

Jessica had fun running from the water and screaming as the waves rolled in.

She is getting so big now. My little blonde beach girl!

Here is some of the gang striking a pose on the beach.

We got to check out the seals that were getting a tan.
