Summer is Here

You know it's summer when it's time to get out the inflatable pool! We get one of these for Owen every year, and he loves it! It will usually last a good 2-3 months before it pops or gets blown away by the wind.

Below are pictures of Owen playing with my brother Gil. He was here for a short visit, and Owen was super excited. At one point they were playing in Owen's room and I went to check on them, Owen informed me I needed to leave because it was "private".  He loved showing Gil all his toys and having his full attention!

Saturday morning we dropped Owen off at Pop & Gran's house. We did a few chores at home and then drove to Nashville and spent the rest of the weekend there to celebrate our anniversary. We stayed at the Opryland Hotel. I'd always wanted to stay there at least once, so that's why we picked there. It was definitely pricey, and we probably won't ever stay there again. It was nice but not really worth what they charge. Our first night there we met our friends Heather and Brent at Opry Mills for dinner at the Aquarium Restaurant. Here's a picture of me and Buck at dinner that Heather snapped for us.

This is a picture of their son Peter. He was so cute and such a good boy!

The rest of our weekend we mostly spent shopping at Opry Mills. All that walking just about did me in! My body was like, whoa, there missy! I felt like the typical waddling pregnant woman. Especially when we missed the last shuttle back to the hotel and so we had to walk back! That was rough. We also saw the Star Trek movie. Buck really liked it. I've never been a Star Trek fan, but I thought it was entertaining enough.

In other news, I had another doctor's appt. yesterday. I'm 31 weeks, and I had gained 4 more pounds. Which makes for 7 overall. I expected that because I feel I've definitely "popped" as they say. It's getting really hard to bend over and do certain tasks. But, I'm in the homestretch, only 8 more weeks to go!
