Blogging Break

It seems I took a bit of a blogging break ... for several reasons really. We went camping for the 4th of July, came back and my internet was down. I finally figured out how to fix it and now I've been busy getting ready for the baby to arrive and running Pax and Tyler around to swim class, soccer practice, summer movies and whatever other things we decide to pack our day with. I always heard moms say how busy their summers are ... now I understand. Here's a few highlights of what we've been up to:

*Tyler is quite the talker and copycat now. He imitates everything we do and say. He LIVES for his brother and doesn't quite know what to do with himself when Pax is not around. He mostly ends up walking around, putting his hands up and saying, "Pat-ton?"

*Pax has been having a fun summer playing with friends and especially loving having his cousins living in town ... they normally are only 15 minutes away but its much more convenient to play together when it only takes 5 minutes to get to them. Every day he asks when he can play with Hunter and is having fun playing with Kolter too.

*The nesting phase has hit for me and I only have 11 days until I am getting induced ... Aug 10th is the big day. I've never been induced before so its kind of fun to have a definite date it will happen by. Its 11 days early but my babies have always arrived early anyway. Since I'm traveling to Utah for this baby the dr wants to induce so that I'm not driving 2 1/2 hours in labor.

*Bryce has been busy with work and all the projects around the house that are on the "finish before the baby" list. The boys still want to go for 4-wheeler rides daily and do end up going a couple times a week ... Bryce is the only driver we have at our house for a while since I'm afraid it will throw me into labor or at least be totally uncomfortable.
