Where has the summer gone?

I can't believe summer is almost over... There was so much I wanted to get done. I have about one week left before I need to start getting things ready for school and we will be out of town for half of it... I was really hoping to finish my Hawaii scrapbook this summer. I am so behind in all of my scrapbooks and I know once the baby is here I won't have any time.

I think I have finally started feeling a little better over the past couple of days. And finally I have started to be able to eat a little more, so that is good!

We have guests from Taiwan (missionary friends of Justins) coming to stay with us this weekend, so I need to get back to cleaning my house and then bathing my dogs. What fun!!

Lake Okoboji - Lots of pictures

We went up to Lake Okoboji, IA for a few days. I have some relatives that live up there. The 7 0f us rode in my mom's van. It was a little crowded... Here is my niece on the way up there. We went to the Emporium - tourist shopping area to look around. This is my husband trying on hats.

We went to a little theme park called Arnold's Park for the kids to ride rides. It was really hot!

Here is my mom, Evan, Justin, Ryan and Grace riding the train. My sister and I sat it out.

Grace and Evan riding boats. Grace rode several rides, even a little roller coaster. She loved it. It took Evan a little while to like them.

Arnold's Park is right along the lake.

Every time we go back we eat at Mrs. Lady's. Its a Mexican Restaurant. Ryan is eating an "insane" taco, which he finished most of it.

Sara, Ryan, Justin and I went and played miniature golf. I actually got 2nd... usually I am last!

Justin and I were THRILLED they had a shaved ice place. We got Ryan and Sara hooked on them too. In 48 hours Justin and I each had 4, Sara and Ryan had 3. Grace loved them as well!

At the hotel before we were heading out to go on the boat.

It was a little cool at first when we went out!

Evan is helping Ryan drive the boat. Then its Sara, my mom, and my Aunt Jan (my mom's twin)

Grace loved her first experience boating. She kept telling her dad to go faster!

Evan preferred to go slow...

Justin skiing.

We went to the Barefoot bar for some drinks to cool off.

Overall, we had a fun time... It was nice to get away for a few days.

15 weeks

Here is a picture of me at 15 weeks. Not the greatest picture. I think my stomach looks bigger in person. All of my pants officially do not fit me now, so I have started using rubber bands. Tomorrow through Sunday we are going up to my aunts to go boating, swimming, etc. Hopefully one of my swimsuits will work... I can't believe how fast the summer is flying by... There is so much I want to get done still.
