We had a simple and enjoyable 4th of July this year, and it was great! We decided recently to not go to the lake like we usually would, with me being so pregnant and all the craziness that there is at the lake on a holiday weekend. So instead, we stayed here in town and were able to spend a relaxing weekend together as a family. We headed over to a friend's house on the 4th for some swimming, hamburgers and hot dogs, and some hanging out. Then we came back into town for the firework show at the Jonesboro fairgrounds. Since this was our first 4th here in town, we weren't sure what to expect, but it was great! We got a good parking spot near the fairgrounds and had perfect spots sitting in our chairs in the back of the truck. It was surprisingly cool here.....low 80's and a slight breeze, which made the evening of sitting outside just perfect:) Tyson and the kids enjoyed playing with their glow sticks while we waited for the show to begin. Tyson has never seen fireworks before as he was in bed fast asleep last year when they started. He was a little scared at first, but then he started enjoying himself and naming the colors. He just kept saying....ohhhh hot, and fire, every time he saw one go off! It was cute. It took for ever to get out of the parking lot and home, and he was so wound up from the evening that we couldn't get the little guy to bed until almost midnight! We had a great time though, and everyone had fun.
Tyson loves swimming so much, and is so fearless in the water. We have found that the arm floaties work best for him, since he can keep himself upright and still move around. He likes to lay back and float too. He is still figuring out the whole kicking and moving his arms thing, but he gets around pretty well. He loves jumping off the side of the pool and doesn't mind his head going under. He just pops up and swims to the side to do it again:)
Here is the picture of my new hair cut. I didn't quite mean for it to get this short, but turns out it is very easy to manage and I am really enjoying it:) It is much cooler for the summertime, and I shouldn't have to get it cut too soon either.
Here is my 33 week pregnant picture. I head to the doctor on the 6th, then one more 2 week appointment before we start going every week. It has seemed pretty fast for me. Still feeling great overall, but definitely getting a bit crankier the bigger I get. I alternate having days of lots of energy with days of sitting on the couch, which works out well I guess:) We are almost finished with the nursery, and I am starting to think about what we need to pack for the hospital. Other than that I am still trucking along with work, attempting to keep the house under control, working out in the yard, and loving my time with Tyson and Silas. Life is good:)
