20 weeks!

20 weeks down... we are halfway through this pregnancy and it is FLYING by! I can't believe how fast everything is going this time around. I've been feeling the baby moving and kicking for a little over 4 weeks now, and she is definitely an active little girl!
And we have officially picked a name! Drumroll, please....

Aurelle Eiley Willman!
We are so excited to be bringing another beautiful girl into our little family (because we ALL know just how beautiful little Aurelle is going to be!), and we can't wait to finally see her and hold her... only 20 more weeks to go!

Biking

Kyle and I have had our mountain bikes since we got married, but only since January have we made a goal to actually start riding them! There is a beautiful desert preserve literally across the street from Kyle's parent's house that we like to go riding in. It's a lot of fun and extremely convenient since we can't exactly take the binker mountain biking with us, so Grandma watches Minnette while we get some exercise!





When we were buying our biking gear, Kyle decided to get the clipless pedals that special biking shoes clip into to make riding easier...

The problem is getting them UNclipped after you stop your bike but before you fall over...
THORNS... OUCH!

Kyle had to do this jump probably 10 times for me to get this picture... what a stud! (Don't worry, I do not do ANY jumping... at least not for about 5 more months :) )



But I did have my first spill which resulted in my very own first-ever mountain biking battle wound!

BLOOD=HARDCORE

I know it's small, but it did actually sting a little!

SWIMMING

Kyle loves to take Minnette out swimming now that he has a break from school and now that it's so nice 'n hot out! She's definitely not the biggest fan at first, but she gets used to it, and as long as no one splashes her she's a happy swimmer!


Minntte in her deep-sea emergency flotation device. Ha. We just love that it came with the built-in sunshade, especially when it's 105 degrees outside but feels like 120!
Happy??
Check out the cute, cute swimsuit! Her chubs make the perfect accessory!

She just won't have it if anyone else is splashing, but I guess it's OK when she does it, right?

She'll stand in this spot FOREVER and alternate from splashing on the tile on her left, to the water on her right... back and forth...over and over!

This is a perfect picture to show off all of the teeth Minnette now has. (ALL SIX OF THEM!!)

Our happy, happy girl
Drying off!
