We had a pretty good weekend. Troy worked yesterday, but the kids and I went to the pool. They had fun. Swimming is definately not my favorite thing, especially taking all 3 kids by myself, but they do pretty good. Kristin went across the pool by herself with her floaties on for the first time. It was funny, because the second I would let go of her, she would stiffen her legs straight, and she didn't dare move her arms. She only got from one side to the other because of the "pool current". She's getting better though! Kristin's nickname is "Krissy". So, she calls herself "frissy" and sometimes it sounds like "fishy". (It's hard for her to put the K and R sounds together.) We've been trying to get her to say "KUH Rissy", but even that is difficult, so now she calls herself "KUH Frissy". It's pretty funny. She actually calls herself that quite often while talking to her "babies". Also, when her and the boys play "dog". My dad has dogs, and in training them, instead of saying "no" to the dogs, he says "wrong" (apparently he learned that in dog training class) so, Kristin is the human, and the boys are the dogs, and she bosses them around the house yelling "WRONG" the boys do it too when roles are reversed. I'm sure if anybody overheard them playing, they would think we were a psycho family...well, maybe some people think that already. We went to church today. Our ward is so friendly, I don't think I've ever been in a ward so friendly my first month there. The Relief Society lesson was on writing in journals. When we cook dinner after church, Troy and I usually discuss the lesson in RS/Priesthood. It's so funny how women get something totally different out of a lesson than men do. We both get good things out of it, but completely different. We finally found out what Elementary School Kyle will go to. It's crazy, cause school doesn't start until 9:15 in the morning! Last year it started at 8:00, so I'm excited for the extra "get ready" time in the morning! School starts for him September 6th! We are headed to NYC on Sunday to see a NY Yankee game for Kyle's 6th Birthday! Yep, that's coming up on the 23rd(2 weeks from today)! Don't forget to call him, I think that's the best part of his birthday, getting phone calls! Tomorrow at noon we have our ultrasound. Hopefully this baby will be healthy and female! :) Just kidding, any gender would be fine, just economically efficient if it happened to be female! Keep your fingers crossed!
