Kai Kai happenings and Mama at 32 weeks

This is Oceanbaby at 32 weeks. 

I've been feeling alright. Kickboxer started training at his new job last week, so he is now gone all during the week and comes home on Fridays for the weekend. This last week was doable but when I think about the next 4 months being like this, I admit it's hard on me. Especially my heart. And especially as I get closer and closer to our baby's due date it feels more real that even after the baby arrives Kickboxer will still have two months of training. He will only be able to be home with us for about a week. Makes us sad just thinking about it.  But we'll take it a week at a time and everything will work out. This is a really good thing for our family and we're very blessed to have this opportunity. 

On to happier events. Lilybuggie went to the dentist for the first time and she did amazing! I was so proud of her! This is a big thing for me because I'm terrified of the dentist and I'm probably the worst patient to deal with. Lily was so excited to go and had so much fun with it. And no sugar buggies(that's cavities in our language)!!! 

Kai started her swim classes this Saturday and we already know she's a mermaid like mama so she loved it! It was really hard to get good pictures because for some lame reason they have the parents wait outside the pool room on the other side of the glass. This is the best one I could get. Bubba will start in a couple weeks. Kai doesn't start hula until September but she super pumped about that coming up too. Oh, I wish summer would never end.

Wow, our baby girl is 4 years old. I know we say this all the time but gosh does time go fast. I'm starting a tradition for my little ones. Each time they have a birthday I write a letter to them. I started with Lily's birthday this year. When they get old enough and move out of the house I'll give them all of their letters.We feel so blessed to have Kai Lily as our daughter. I couldn't imagine any other baby girl being more perfect than her. She makes me feel so loved and I couldn't think of a better gift than that.

The beginning of Summer

It's starting to feel a lot like Summer around here with the temps getting around 105 so we've been taking advantage of our hot weather with some water time. Our little Danny is a little water baby just like our others. He could not stop laughing or smiling while he was in the water.

Brandon got new goggles and spent his whole time in the pool trying them out.

We took a drive to Wrightwood last Saturday to do some family hiking. It was such a beautiful day. Driving through town I almost felt like I was in Mammoth for a second. Nothing is better than getting outdoors and taking in that fresh mountain air. 

If you look closely at the right rim of Bubba's hat you can see a butterfly.

Lily giving her sissy some love. We can count this as my 30 week photo too.

We saw some pretty cool wildlife out there. Lots of lizards, butterflys and a beautiful deer.

My little outdoors girl. The whole hike she kept saying "I love this place." And when we left she cried and said she wanted to go back to the mountains. Just like mama.
