Churchisms

Jakson is starting to talk nonstop.  He's growing up soooo fast!

Today in church, about 10 minutes into the sermon, he says loudly "Bye, bye?".  Then, a few seconds later he starts walking out of the pew and he says "I be right back!".  I guess he wasn't having the whole church thing today. 

Not long after that Brett and I thought we smelled a dirty dipee.  So I checked Jakson's pants assuming he had taken his usual 9-10am dump.  Nope, it was clean.  The next time I checked, Jakson shouts out in church during the sermon mind you...  "I toot, I toot!!!" 

I think we're learning we need to filter our conversations at home a little bit better...

Gotta love the lessons church gives you.  About God AND what not to say around your children.

Playing Catch Up

Okay, you'd think since it's summer and I'm not actually teaching I might be able to blog a little more often.  Obviously not.  Jakson has been enjoying his summer by swimming in our blow up pool,  playing with toy horses, talking about motorcycles, riding 4-wheelers, vacationing at Hoversten Haven, riding his tricycle and wearing his helmet, holding his new cousin Reagan, and learning how to be a big brother.  This past weekend Brett and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary and Jakson got the opportunity to spend the WHOLE weekend with Gramma and Grampa Pekarek.  They took him boating and THEY had a blast.  Captain Jakson got to drive the boat with Grampa and he played on the beach and had a picnic.  I think he wore Gramma and Grampa out!  Tomorrow night Jakson will begin his five night vacation at Gramma and Grampa Hoversten's house while Brett and I go on a trip to Hoversten Haven (our babymoon I guess you could say) with the Nails and Schultzs.  We are looking forward to some adult time, but I am secretly very sad after being with Jakson EVERY DAY since the beginning of June that I will not be with him for FIVE days!  I know he will be in good hands with Paul and Rita and he will have a blast swimming in the big pool and 4-wheeling.  Here's some pics to sum up our summer so far!

I on the other hand, am definitely growing a baby.  I'm 32 weeks along and am starting to feel the last few weeks' symptoms.  Kankles, swollen fingers, uncomfortable sleeping positions, etc, etc.  BUT, it's worth it right?  Brett and I are so excited to welcome our little lady into the world on August 31, which is her Uncle Andy's and a few other family members' birthday.

30 weeks
