We're on vacation! Oscar won a trip with work to pirate's cove, in boulder city, NV-right by the Hoover dam. The place is so nice. Everything is a total pirate theme. We spent most of our time swimming. There are a bunch if places to jump off of at different heights into the water and a route swing, one pools has a basketball hoop. There's lots to do and lots to eat! haha. It has been really fun.

The kids were sooo good in the car! Jacob watched a lot of movies. Samuel finally started taking a binky the first day of the trip (oh yeah we drove! St Louis to Vegas!)

Our suite!

This is amazing! You can jump off of a bunch of differnt heights into the water

Olivia and Jacob swimming

Oscar Jumping! Haha it's so fun!

Pirates cove is that close to the Hoover Dam

Cool pirate decorations

Olivia! She is going to preschool this year. I'm still having a hard time having her gone, but she loves it and she's doing great. The school is awesome and her teacher is so nice. She thinks she is so big now :)

My big pre-k girl!! She is growing up...

After baths!

Ballet started back up, she is so much bigger this year! (of course)

Her backpack is almost as big as her

In front of her new school

She loves it

She loves her matching doll outfit

Jacob! He is so sweet and helpful, and polite too! He always says 'no thanks'. He is going through a throwing phase, he throws EVERYTHING. It drives me crazy but i try to be patient with it, with an arm like that he's gonna be pitching for a pro baseball team any day now. I'm just letting him practice :)

He rubs his dog on his cheek while he's sucking on his binky. He scraped his leg here, and is rubbing the dog on his owie. He's so sweet!

All dressed up for church

He got a fat lip with grandma at the park :(

More pics of my babies!

I can't tell yet what color his eyes will be

After a bath

We are doing cloth diapers!

More pics. I'm having trouble for some reason, with the pics-so I'll be putting up several posts with a few pics each. oh well :)

Olivia is such a good big sister!

Brushing his hair

Bonding, watching a movie together :)

Our new baby! His name is Samuel Kenneth. We had a really hard time deciding on his middle name, but finally decided to name him after my dad. He is a perfect baby! We LOVE him! :)

He was born on Aug 6 at 11:36pm. He was 21 1/2 in, and 8lbs 14oz- our big boy!

My enormous tummy! This was the day before he was born.

First day in the hospital!

With mommy!

Some extra pics I overlooked. Just a bunch of cute things.

Jacob climbed in Olivia's bed. They are so cute together. I am sooooo happy that they get along so well!

They went out to play in the water. It was raining and the sprinklers were on at the same time. I love Jacob's little dress shirt-onezie and his rain boots.

I got this binky out that Jacob isn't used to and he didn't know how to use it!

Playing in the water at a park

I learned how to pickle beets! There's my work. I'm pretty proud of them, they are super tasty too :)

Olivia's haircut a while back (it has grown quite a bit since then)

Dyeing Easter eggs. Jacob dumped out the hot pink one onto the carpet. I was upset at the time but looking back I think it's cute.

I thought this was just cute

We went to Independence on Easter, this was the visitors's center. We also saw the Kansas City temple and liberty jail.

Olivia learning how to pump on her own. She caught on right away and does a good job!

Jacob is such a daddy's boy!

They usually read after baths. I love when they do this :)
