I guess being out of town doesn't make for a good excuse to not update the blog. We are alive and happy and enjoying being around family right now. Tyler is studying away and takes many breaks to hang out with us. The girls live in the pool and both are getting really good at swimming underwater. I think Annie was meant to be a fish, she is much happier when in the pool. Hallie just loves being able to cool down from the hot sun. And Barry finally figured out that he loves to swim. A little late for this but better late than never right!
Here are a few fun things that the kids have loved about being here:
-Barry has found his second half. It comes in the form of a dog named Izzy. Remember how he doesn't talk at all, he now says Izzy all the time.
- Hallie figured out that she can take a shower all by herself. She washes her own hair and puts conditioner in. She keeps saying "I am really big now uh Mom." I have to admit that it is really nice to have her do it cause now Annie wants to follow and be like Hallie.
- Annie has reconnected with her cow chocolate milk and has it every morning with her breakfast. She also has become the queen of sleep overs. I thought for sure that she would not make it a night without me, but she has no problem at all with it and begs for one every night.
- Cousins are the best thing in the world. We love having them around and get to play with theum everyday! It is fun to see how much fun they have just running and being together.
- We go see the horses every morning and we have now figured out how to tell the difference between a girl horse and a boy horse, thanks to one that took a pee in front of us. Annie loves to point out the boy ones!
- Swings on the front porch are the best invention ever. Especially when it comes with a singing Grandma. Even Barry is hooked now.
- Hallie has become aware of the fact that she loves her hair curly like the big girls. Good think Mom knows how to curl hair, somewhat!
- We also learned the difference between a cut and a trim. Aunt Kensi gives the best hair cuts and the girls loved the "Girly" night we had with her. They both got a trim cause they want their hair long like a princess!
We will post pictures later of all the fun things we talked about. We are excited to come home and back up and move to Ohio. Hope the summer is good for everyone else cause we are sure loving it!
