Lazy but Crazy May

Yes, I have been lazy when it comes to posting. I just haven't been taking pictures of the kids and hate posting without pictures. Plus, it is starting to get hot here and the heat is starting to take its toll on me. And double whammy is how swollen I am getting, which is nothing new to me when it comes to being pregnant, but it makes it harder to want to sit at the computer for too long or my left leg is absolutely a marshmallow! So, I will make this a quick post and will try and post more frequently. These pictures are of Drew and how I found him one night before going to bed. He does weird things when he can't get comfy and fall asleep. He gets creative with his body and blankets. This night he decided to stuff his blanket in his shirt. And yes, he sleeps with 3 blankets over him at naps and bedtime. It used to be 4 till I made him put one away. He is one crazy boy!
May came and went so fast. We stayed busy and enjoyed a cool May for Arizona standards. I tried to take the kids to the playground once a week before the 100's hit and they were in heaven. Drew started swim lessons the last week in May and first week in June. His teacher was Miss Aubrie from our ward and she was awesome with Drew. He struggled the first week, but it was a cold week. We got some cooler weather, I think we got into the high 80's, so the water was still cold. He also had some sort of fear towards the end of the first week. So that weekend we went to Ryan's brother's house and went swimming to help him become more comfortable with the water. I don't know if that helped or a bribe from me, but the second week he did fabulous. He got bumped up to the 2nd level and loves swimming. He actually would just jump off the step and swim under water till his teacher would pull him out. Of course he did this when he was suppose to be sitting on the step while his teacher was helping another student. We videoed him. I will try and post it soon. So that was fun. Poor Kylee wanted to swim with Drew but she got to hang with me. Lucky her!


Other than that, we started June off pretty lazy and just survived the whole week without Ryan. We all miss him and can't wait to pick him up at the airport tonight. I don't know how my sister does it. Her husband has been gone for almost a month now and won't be back for 2 more weeks. Being a single mom is sooo hard. It is so nice having extra help. Plus the kids love playing with Ryan when he gets home. I already forewarned him to be prepared to be clobbered tonight. I am just trying to stay cool in this awful heat. Thank goodness I get a break this weekend of 90 degree temperatures. I just hope I can survive the next few weeks till this little monkey comes!
