Summer Fun Has Begun

Officially our school gets out Friday, but we have already begun our summer adventures.

First, I'll start with a baby update. As you can see in this photo I'm still pregnant and doing well. About 5 weeks ago the baby started dropping off with his measurements so the doctor put me on a no exercise/eat ice cream everyday diet. Not bad!! I have an ultrasound about every 2 weeks to track his progress and he's doing great right now!! And yes it is still a boy. I think I asked them to keep checking on the first 5 ultrasounds and since then have realized that yes, the Thueson's can have a boy!! And no, we do not have a name yet. So any suggestions?!?

So, the girls finished up soccer a couple of weeks ago and had a fantastic time. As you can see Brooke is very competitive. I have no idea where she gets it from. At school they have a mini-marathon they do throughout the year and Brooke ran the most miles for any girl in the school! Go Brookie Cookie!

And Aubrey is just as competitive. She was named the "Speed Queen" on her soccer team! It was so fun to watch them play and enjoy their season!

For Memorial Day we headed up to the cabin with Ginger and Gregg. Some of these picture are for my brother Michael who lives in Dubai. Sometimes we get busy and don't post pictures of our kids enough and him and Camille haven't seen our kids for almost a year. So, here's one of Cash and Weston and don't mind the little girl who's mother didn't do her hair!!

Paula Jean and her family came up from Phoenix for two weeks. The kids had a great time and we tried to do as much as we could in our rainy June weather. I think she said it rained everyday while they were here. Unfortunately, we were still in school but we tried to do as much as we could with them and even took a day off of school to play. While they were here Makenna and Kylie were baptized on the same day.



After the baptisms we had a huge party at Carter and Tendra's. We rented a big bouncy bin and a huge slide. Good time was had by all!! Even when we tripped the breaker and the fans would go off and the entire slide would almost collapse.

On our "day off" of school we went to the park and showed the cousins huge trout and even two sturgeons. Then we headed off to the Boise zoo which is just the right size for most of our kiddos!

So, every year the town of Eagle has a Wet and Wild Parade. Even though it was only 70 degrees and cloudy with a few scattered showers, we didn't miss the best parade of the year. They first have a dry portion of the parade with the usual floats, horses, dance groups, etc. Then, the real fun begins with fire trucks and companies equipped with lots and lots of water. Aubrey had gotten a squirt gun and was not afraid to challenge the fire hoses, super soakers, and huge water guns coming from the parade. As you can see in the next photos everyone got involved except for Hailey and me.





About once a week we head to Merrill Park where Dad can fish and the girls can play on the playground. Perfect for this pregnant woman's body!



For FHE we headed down to Swan Falls to do little fishing on the Snake River. Unfortunately, the river was raging and swirling and we got skunked. I tossed and turned all night long with nightmares of my children falling in it! Needless to say, I don't plan on going back anytime soon!
