Water Babies

The kids played in the water every day this week and loved every minute of it! With it being as hot as it was, playing in the water was the only way to be outside!

Monday July 18th
The kids went to daycare and had water day!

We stayed around home all day today. We started out by going for a run. It was the first time I went running with the double jogger I borrowed from my hairdresser, Lindsay, and it was tough!! My pace was much slower than normal! :-) When we got home we spent the rest of the morning playing in the water! The kids also had fun in the water in the bathtub. Claire has really started to love to "swim" in the bathtub. Andy said that, "it would be easier to clean a fish than Claire" right now! She keeps trying to lay down on her tummy or her back!

Today we went to the library today for story time and toddler time. I left Isaiah with Miss Tami in preschool story time and went to toddler time with Claire. We had fun singing, dancing, and hearing a story. Then we went to pick up Isaiah and he was having a blast learning about penguins and doing the "Silly Dance"! We checked out some new Dr. Seuss books (because that's all Isaiah wants to check out) and headed home for lunch. On the way home, I popped some gum in my mouth and Isaiah begged to have some. Sooooo....for the first time I let Isaiah chew some! I made sure to explain to him that we don't swallow gum and it goes in a trash can when you're done this it! He did really well and though he was pretty darn cool!

Today was Claire's 15 month check-up. She weighed in at......18.5 pounds!! No forward facing for Claire for a while! :-) She was 30 1/4 inches long and only had to get one shot! After the appointment the kids and I went over to the mall for lunch. We chowed down some chinese food and then took a ride on the carousel.

Once we were done spinning around and around (a ride this mommy does not enjoy!) we headed for home for naptime. I put the kids down and headed outside to mow the lawn. It wasn't long, however, until I saw Isaiah staring sadly out the window at me. After one futile attempt to get him to lay down, I let him come outside and join me. Not more than a half an hour later Claire was rarin' to go, so I quit mowing (that Andy finished later in the evening) and we got out the hose, pool, and sprinkler. More water fun for the Untersehers!

I played volleyball in the Cornhusker State Games today. Andy brought the kids over for one of the games. We played in a competative league that was fun, but we got our butts kicked!! :-) Since we were done by 2, we ran to the grocery store to grab some grub for supper. We had some steak, green beans, and watermelon.....and my kids LOVE watermelon. I ended up just giving Claire a whole piece and she just gnawed on it with her two little teeth and drooled watermelon juice all over herself! Isaiah ate at least three pieces himself and we had trouble getting him to eat anything else on his plate!

I sand in church this morning and then we ran home for a quick lunch. Around 1 my parents came by to watch the kids while Andy and I went to a bunch of open houses....yes people....that means we are in search of a new home! We'll see what the future brings!
