~30 weeks~ and Hoops

I can't believe that I am at the 30 week mark today.
It's so crazy to think I only have 10 weeks left until my sweet baby boy comes. I am getting so excited to see him.
He is so wiggly right now and his favorite time to be awake and really active is while I sleep, of coarse. I am very tired and definitely feeling the usual of what my third trimesters do. Mild contractions, back aches, and some swelling. We also think that Jacob spends a lot of time resting on my sciatic nerve and that is a crazy pain I can't explain. The funny about going through all of this is that I never regret being pregnant. And I really do feel that it is all worth it in the end. I get to have another sweet angel in my arms, and take care of him.
I am so blessed to have the opportunity to be a mother of such choice spirits.
I love my little men so much and that love only grows with every passing moment.
I also have THE BEST husband. He is very thoughtful and really helps me out around the house cleaning and getting ready for the baby to come. He also does a lot with the boys, gives them baths because he knows it hurts my back to bend over and plays with them all the time.
I am so grateful for him.
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!

This past weekend Derek has been at Drill and they were staying overnight. So I decided to pack the boys up and go spend it with my parents and sisters before they get to busy with shows.
We had so much fun, Mom and I got some sewing done and the boys had a blast playing with Papa, their Aunties and Uncle Charno :)
Anna bought a little basket ball hoop and basket balls for the boys to play with at their house and the boys absolutely love to play with it. Well in the midst of playing ball Skyler somehow pulled this off. I am thinking he was headed for a Slam Dunk and over shot it a little ;)
He was getting so upset because he couldn't seem to get his foot out, he was walking around trying to get my attention by crabbing. I pulled out my camera to get a picture and the smiles came out.

Every time He tried to get his foot out he only seemed to make it worse. What a funny little man.

Well this last week was a pretty big week for 6 important people to us.

August 2nd ~ My Dad and Mom Celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary
August 6th ~ Paul and Jessica Celebrated their 5th Wedding Anniversary
August 8th ~ Mom and Dad Tippetts Celebrated their 30th Wedding Anniversary

We are so grateful to have all of them in our lives and hope that each of them have many, many more years to come.
LOVE YOU ALL

What I've been up to lately!

I have been having quite a few "Down" days lately, mostly due to heat I think. But I am horrid at staying down and resting. So I decided to work on getting my Etsy shop and product line up and running. I finished wraps and started making Mother Daughter Bracelets.
When I was looking through my crafting cupboard I found a TON of ribbon that I forgot I had. So I decided to try my hand at making some hair bows. I found out I can actually pull it off and it was so much fun :) I also used some of the ribbon to make some nursing clips.
It's so funny that I am making all of these girly things and am having a boy.

This is the same wrap just worn a different way! I LOVE these things!

Skyler has just recently started swimming, with floaties and is loving it so much.
He has become very independent quickly, and is now swimming on his own.
He laughs and had a HUGE smile while swimming by himself.
He is so proud of himself and so are we.
Just one more way that my little baby is becoming a big boy.
This video was taken at his birthday party.
