Happy 4th of July! All of the family is home and excited to be back together. Texas was awesome for Bobby, Alyssa, and Reese and I was able to finish the Mary Kay year strong on July 1. Our unit became a pink Cadillac unit! I get to chose between the CTS (smaller sporty car), DTS (full size sedan), or SRX (crossover SUV). As of right now the SRX will be best for our family when the new baby comes since it has a third row seat. That will give Alyssa an entire row to herself and the two babies will be safely out of reach :) Yes, it will be pink and I can't wait!

Reese wants to crawl so badly, but can't get her feet out from underneath her when she leans forward and rocks. She loves her sister and is entertained for hours by watching her play. Alyssa has been going to The Little Gym and playing outside with friends in the neighborhood. Bobby works tomorrow all day but the girls and I are going to a BBQ and will watch the fireworks with friends. I had a 22 week check up this week and everything is good. Nothing new to report.
Have a great holiday weekend!

Day 1 of our inground traompoline project went fairly smoothly.

At the end of the day we have a 14 ft hole in our backyard!
I started off dumping the dirt (I mean CLAY) into a pick up but then realized there had to be a more timely and less strenuous way going about dumping it. So I went back to the rental place and got the black hydraulic dump trailer you see in the background. The Envoy held up decently. This is another one of those times I wish I had a big pickup. I did blow one of my air bags that I installed in the rear when I used the Envoy to pull my sport bike. Next up is fine tuning the hole and lay some post.

*NOTE* If you're going to attempt this, just hire someone to do this for you. It'll probably save you $.

Bobby mapped out the lines of where he is going to dig tomorrow! Here is a before picture of our yard. Two very messy girls will follow. Reese LOVES the trampoline as much as Alyssa.
