Summer Continued

Here's the rest of our summer pics! For the last half of the summer we were in South Dakota. We really liked it there too, a lot smaller town than in Alabama - which was kinda fun, reminded me of my home town in ways. My sister Katie was a secretary for the office for the summer, so she lived with us! It was sooo much fun to have her, and not to mention a HUGE help to me - especially for my prego sick weeks :( It was hard to let her leave us and go on to college. Kiya still loves talking to "Tatie" on the phone :) I wish I had more pics, and I did, but somewhere between South Dakota and the move home our camera was lost. But it was a fun summer, there were a ton of wives in the office. We all had such a good time together - we'd have So You think You Can Dance nights and Friday lunches and shopping trips, and it was so nice to have so much support in a strange town during the summer where you see your husband maybe 3 or 4 hours a day!

This was after church one Sunday. She looked so cute, so I was trying to get pictures. And Kiya thought it was funny to run from mama. I love that mischevious look on her face. The string cheese she wouldn't give up adds a nice touch as well :)

Little smartie pants figured out that the dishwasher makes for a nice stepping stool to get to treats on the counter!

Summers mean LOTS of time at the pool, with her best buddy Laena, of course!

A few Sundays we all got together and had a barbeque at the park - the swings are definitely one of Kiya's favorites!

All ready to hit the doors lol! This was on our way up to South Dakota, she loves to put on daddy's things, especially hats!

Christine, Katie, and Kiya. There was a really fun waterpark in South Dakota we'd go to, since the pool at our apartments was indoor and not very kid friendly.

Laena bug with cute cheesy nacho face :)

Still downin that icee lol

Lance's brother Craig was a tech for the summer and it was his birthday. Katie n I decorated a cake for him, and might've forgotten a word lol.

Yep, she's a girl!

Daddy and Kiya dancing. He's such a good daddy, most mornings he would get up with her while mama tried to sleep through some of the morning sickness. Even though I'm through all that he still gets up with her a lot of the time so my prego self can sleep a little more, he's so good to me!

Have I said how much I love this baby! She loves brushing her teeth and pretending to floss.

For the fourth we had a big barbeque and the guys set off a ton of fireworks, good times!

When the summer was over for us we drove Katie back home and spent a few weeks with family. Kiya slept in the room next to Kyle's, so most mornings he would get up with her. He's such a good kid, how many ten year olds would do that?!

This is what happens when Katie get ahold of the camera - I have quite a few of these pics :)
