A week with ShayLea

I hope we kept ShayLea entertained while she was here. Donovan loved having her around! We went to the zoo one day.

It was nice having her there so I didn't have to carry the little boy with tired legs. I always feel the most pregnant when I'm exhausted and I felt very pregnant that day.

ShayLea was nice enough to watch Donovan on Tuesday night so Brad and I could go to the US Women's National friendly against Sweden. Brad got offered free tickets last minute so we decided to go since it was in Omaha. They ended up tying 1-1, but we got to see Kristine Lily! She's still playing after all these years and she still looks pretty fit! I also found a new favorite player. Her name is Megan Rapinoe and she is a stud.

Kristine Lily! We got a pretty awesome thunderstorm while she was here. She took Donovan outside to watch.

After it stopped raining we went out to run around in the wet grass. Can you see the sky? It was orange.
We decided to go over the pedestrian bridge to check out the splash park. It's bigger than the one we have in Council Bluffs, but it doesn't compare to the one in Highland.
One day we tried to go to the park, but it was ridiculously hot and humid. We decided it was a better swimming day than a park day.
Donovan is getting so brave in the water! He was hanging on the sides and climbing all over the place. We went back again on Saturday before ShayLea went home and he was plugging his nose and going under...over and over again.
I'm pretty sure this is out of order, but we went shopping one night and got matching shoes. We had a few people ask us if we were sisters...do we look alike?
Donovan got a big boy haircut! ShayLea cut a lot of hair while she was here. She made some pretty good money for being on vacation! Donovan did a great job and so did ShayLea! It looks really good, and he reminds me that he got his hair cut just about every day so I have to tell him what a good job he did. He's such a nut.
After ShayLea left on Saturday, we were all feeling pretty lazy and didn't really want to go anywhere so we played Wii. Donovan is starting to get into Wii Fit and it's HILARIOUS. This is him doing the mushroom game. You have to move your hips to hit the numbers that add up to 10. Sometimes he gets lucky, sometimes he doesn't, but it's hilarious to watch!
