More Summer Fun...

Sorry about the poor quality of some of these pictures. I've been playing with the settings on my camera and I'm still figuring it all out.

I love this picture. Mikay loves to wear accesories and I think it is so cute because she puts them on herself and is so proud.

Ready for church. Nevermind Haylee's pink bow...it doesn't matter what color she is wearing she insists on a pink bow.
The 4th of July.

This is buttercup my cousin's little pony. Haylee loved buttercup...

and then she started to walk:)

I love my little cuddle bug!

This was one of the few days we set up the pool this summer. Haylee and Saydee played almost everyday. Saydee, Haylee and Ryder.

Mikay and Mike

Catch Up... Cody's wedding

Sorry about this long post. I just took pictures off my camera and realized how much has gone on that I haven't posted. This catches me up to about June. I'll get our summer fun up in the next day or two. Enjoy!

Our Family

The Olsen Family

The ladies of the fam!

The love birds! I love this picture. This is my Grandpa Lee, who Haylee is named after.

All the girls (except Cami- she was getting ready)

It was so hot. My girls mostly just sat in the shade.

Cute toes and cute shoes:)

The Ladies in Red!

Me and my Dad.

Finally, the happy couple! It was such a fun day to share with them. We love you guys!

It's Official...

It's a GIRL!

We are excited! Our girls are so different we think it will be fun to see what another one will be and look like. I'm hoping for a redhead! Haylee keeps telling me to not forget that she still needs a little brother. Her exact words were "if the doctor is right and only a little girl comes out then we will have to have another one." I guess for now our blog heading can stay the same:)

Where has the time gone?

I cannot believe that this summer is over. I remember being cooped up last winter and craving the summer weather. I had plans to be at the pool or our backyard pool everyday. Who would have guessed that we would spend most of our summer in the air conditioning watching Noggin or Tinkerbell. All I know is this pregnancy took me for surprise and as much as I am glad we are through the sick stage I am sad that our summer is over and my pregnancy is half over. I hate early pregnancy when you are so sick that nothing sounds good, but you have to eat or you'll be more sick. But, there is just something amazing about a little life growing inside of you. I really enjoy the process (I can say that now that I am done being sick). I think that there is also a part of me that is realizing how much easier they are when they are in your tummy. Especially being my third. Everyone says that the third was the hardest. Granted I am sure that in about 4 months I will be very happy to have the little one here. Ultrasound next Monday:)
I have been a major slacker when it comes to getting my pictures on my computer, they will be coming soon:)

SURPRISE...Baby #3

Wow, who would have thought that of all the things that could be a surprise in our life getting pregnant would be one of them. I was hoping to get pregnant this fall. So given our history we decided to start "practicing" (Mike hates it when I say "trying") or "not preventing" in May. What do you know, I've gained 8 pounds, I already have a tummy and I'm eating every 2 hours to keep from being any more sick than I am.
It's funny how these things work out. When we finally got pregnant with Hay it was perfect timing. Even though I would have told you that it was perfect timing a year and a half earlier. Same thing with Mikay. Even though right now I find myself freaking out at the thought of a newborn while Mikay is still in diapers, I know without a doubt that someone has a better perspective on this whole plan. He has my complete trust.
I'm curious to find out if it's a boy or a girl. For the last two months Haylee has been telling us that her baby brother is in my belly. When we found out I was pregnant, she started asking if she could kiss her baby brother goodnight. She kisses my belly. We've had a few conversations with her about how we won't know what it is until the doctor tells us. I don't know what she will think if it is a girl. Time will tell. I find myself thinking that if it is a boy then we might be done. Mike told me to keep my thoughts to myself or we could end up with twins. I just smiled, surely that isn't in the plan!

So before I had kids, before I was even married I would see pictures of little kids and think how fun it would be to someday take pictures of my own kids. I didn't realize how hard it would be to have both kids with fists out of the mouth and tongues in the mouth. Both looking happy, but not cheesy. Touching eachother but not one smothering the other (poor Mikay). The worst is when they look generally happy but you can't catch them looking in the same direction. I'll be honest, I'm about to give up on the whole picture thing (you all saw my Christmas card:) I guess it frustrates me because when they are just playing I see so many cute, picture perfect moments between them. I know there are Mom's out there, like my cute cousin Kendra, that take their own pictures of their kids and they are fabulous. I admire you all. Maybe I should go for it. If you don't see future posts you'll know how it went!!

I'VE MADE IT BIG TIME!

So I did something really fun lately and to be honest I never imagined that I would post it. I still can't believe that I am. Anyway, I mentioned in my last post about my Modbe clothing business. It has been so fun. This week we are launching a mini spring line and I can't wait. Trish is such a fun designer, I love her clothes and I have truly enjoyed getting to know her and her husband. You will have to check the website to see what I have been up to:) www.modbeclothing.com/sammistewart
If you would like to place an order, comment on this post and I can give you a party code that will give you 10% off when you order 3 or more items. By the way the spring stuff will not be online until later this week. Seriously our spring stuff is all really affordable and our fall stuff from last year is all discounted so it is a great deal also.
