The Neatowhites

So I've decided that it's probably about time I posted a little bit. I have to admit . . what put me over the edge was the day I saw Rick had posted 'fecal contamination.' There's got to be more going on than that!

So here are a few pictures summarizing our summer so far . . . .

We were fortunate enough to score some really great seats at the Rangers game when the Royals were in town. It was a great night -- we were only 12 rows above the Royals dugout, it was dollar hotdog night (Aidan's favorite), it was a cool night (great for a pregnant lady), the Rangers hit several homeruns which meant the fireworks went off quite a bit, and the kids got to share their first ever cotton candy (Raegan says I was spoiling them!) Rick had fun, despite the final score!

Anna Beth graduated from preschool. On stage she told everyone, "My name is AnnaBeth. I am five years old. When I grow up I want to be a cowgirl." How sweet!

Raegan lost her fourth tooth -- leaving an incredibly cute gap!

Aidan got a bike for his birthday. This was the worst kept secret ever -- he's known since February that this is what his present was going to be!
Here I come!

Pausing to pose for a picture

And there I go again!

We've spent alot of time at the pool. The kids are such great little waterbugs. And I can swim laps and not feel like a big pregnant person!

Speaking of big pregnant person -- only 3 1/2 weeks to go (more or less)

And finally -- for Aidan's birthday we promised to take him on a train ride. Specifically the 'big train' called the tarantula that travels from the Stockyards. After 3 hours of mishaps and missing trains that had mommy almost in tears, we decided to give up for the day. We still plan to take Aidan on the 'big train', but in the meanwhile, we rode the 'little train' next to the zoo with some friends. It was alot of fun!
