It has been a long time since I updated this! We will be updating more frequently now that we have Internet at the house!
There is only 14 days till our new baby girl is due! We have been very busy preparing for her. We had to buy a van so we could fit 3 car seats in it and another crib. Those were the most essential things and were still finding things that we need to get! We have been cleaning, organizing, downsizing, and giving away a lot of things as we don't have a lot of room in our house. We are physically ready to bring her home, but not sure about "really ready!"
Clay started back to school and is thankful that he decided not to coach this year. He prayed a lot about it and is really enjoying more time at home... and so are we! Clay is a big help around the house as I am having a harder time doing things.
The girls are doing really well. Growing like weeds and getting more fun all the time. They enjoy going to the library and playing with toys, playing legos, putting together puzzles, reading books, eating string cheese and any time of ice cream treat, dancing, dogs and cats, hats, being outside, being with family and friends, and really enjoy getting up from naps and laughing/talking for up to 30 minutes a day! McKinley started calling Adelain "Aya" awhile ago because she couldn't say her name. Adelalin was a bit confused and started calling McKinley "Aya" as well. So now we have 2 Aya's in the house! It is going to be hard being away from them while were in the hospital!
SUMMER FUN:
-We had a great time at our Jones family reunion in CO. The entire family was there- our family of 4, my parents and brother, sister Megan and husband and 2 kids, sister Michala and husband and 3 kids, grandma, uncle Scott, aunt Starla, cousin Shawna, cousin Kelly and husband and 2 kids, aunt Sheila and uncle Kent, and cousins- Sydney and Cecily.

JULY BIRTHDAY
My mom had a big birthday this summer (won't tell you which one!). We decided to have a birthday party with some of her friends which was a lot of fun. My dad really wanted us all to come because Elwood was having its fair which he loves to take his grand kids to. It was a lot of fun being in Lexington with everyone!
Here's the girls at the fair- Adelain is the one that is having a lot of fun- ha!

Hilarious! They really all do love their grandparents! (5 of 7 crying!!!)
HUSKER GAME:
Last weekend we were able to go to the first Husker football game of the year. We went with my dad and mom while Clays mom watched the girls. It was kind of a last outing before the baby comes. I had been watching the forecast for the week and the day before the game I told Clay that he should find someone to take because I thought it would be too hot to go to. I am SO glad I did! Clay asked Rylan our nephew and they both had a great time in the really hot stadium! I was very content as well sitting in the air conditioned student union.
