Life as of late

We have not been up to much, I have been working three days a week and on my off days I take Brody swimming,to the park, to the library. One day while waiting for my oil change we took a trip to Krispy Kremes and enjoyed a tasty treat...

On the Saturdays when I am not working we go to the lake and cool off. And ride, "Gma and Gpa jet ski fast." Brody loves to go for little rides on the jet skis, but mainly loves to sit in the water with his life vest and noodle and just swim. His new thing is everywhere we go he always happens to find a "Y" stick. I am serious everywhere he finds sticks in perfect Y formation. It is funny.


And since this semester is over Kip has some free time until he goes back to school in August. So he has found time to go fishing and has been taking Brody along with his new "Diego" fishing Pole while mommy is working.

Kip thinks he is a "Bad Bass!!"


Brody too..


Brody couldn't hold the big one. he dropped it, and it flopped all over the ground.

I am now 29 weeks and counting. (Due date: Aug. 13th) Monday we got some new ultrasounds of "baby sister" (that are not very clear.) Doctor estimates 7lbs. 5oz. at birth, give or take. She is head up for now but we are having a scheduled C-section on the 13th so Doc is not worried.

This one is her face you can see her chubby cheeks in white, an eye, her nose, and her little lips. In the ultrasound she kept opening and closing her mouth and the doctor kept talking about her chubby cheeks. (We may have a little Christiansen in here- maybe she'll look like the girls??)

...28 Weeks...


And we have finally decided on a name...

Kiley Lynn Russell

and Brody is sooooo excited! he asks my belly button every morning if, "Baby Kiley come out and play with
him yet?"


Other than anxiously waiting on Kiley, we have been enjoying being home all together in the evenings. Making homemade dinners, (it's been awhile.) Watching Kip play softball onTuesdays (wishing I could be playing.) We have as much fun with brodyas we can- he is getting so big, too fast. He loves having Daddy home in the evenings, it's like WWF when dad comes home everynight. They love to wrestle and play till they can't stop laughing. I love it.

Anyways there is a little Russell Pack update.

Until next time!

Spontaneous Mini- Vacation...

Memorial Day - Beach Trip


We decided on Saturday night of Memorial Day weekend that we wanted to go somewhere and do something. So that night we booked a hotel and packed our bags and left at 7:00 Sunday morning on a 6 hour journey to Long Beach, CA. We were on the beach a little after lunch time and the weather was TERRIFIC!

Although getting the cheapest hotel in Long Beach was not the best idea but we had a blast anyways. It turns out there is a nice part of Long Beach and a "downtown" version (where the hotel was) but we found a beautiful beach 30 min. away. (Sunset Beach) So we played at Sunset Beach all day got to the hotel to shower and sleep, then woke up and we were on the beach again by 7:00, played on the beach for hours left about lunch time and arrived back at home about 7:00pm. We had so much fun and even though it was short it was a fun little break from life!!
