Today-June 9th

What an enjoyable morning we had together.My handsome, sweet Pete.
Eating popsicles outside. Pete had already finished his orange one.
We sidewalk chalked this morning and Pete said, "Who drew the fish mom?" Between the drawings, the water from the pool and little feet walking around we ended up with this that looks very much like a fish! Crazy!
Our beautiful, old Abby. We will miss her constant company when she is gone someday.

Random

Friends

Time with some friends on Saturday night. Pete checking out the babies. Twin babies who look nothing alike but are just so darn cute.Pete and his friend Caleb.
Feeding the baby. He was so excited to do this!
Playing with dad that night after the guests had left and Jamie was asleep. It was just the cutest thing. Dad and son working the crane together.

Swimming

Some friends of ours gave us these floaties and Jamie got right in the thing and jumped in. No fear. Kind of scary sometimes but right now she is so much fun. She wants to swim all day.



Now to find some for Pete. She claimed these as her own.

Sweet Baby Girl

Oh how I love this sweet face. I kiss it a million times a day. Yesterday I caught myself staring at her like 20 times, just watching her, studying her features, watching her think and react. Oh the love that I feel for this little face. It overwhelms me sometimes. She is truly an angel sent to me from God and I am so thankful for every second I have with her. Well, maybe not EVERY second..... :)

Jamie will be 2 in two months and I just can't believe it. Where has my little baby gone. Now she is a big girl talking from the second I pick her up out of her crib in the morning, swimming in the big pool without anyone holding her, reading books to me in her own words. Jamie has lots of hugs to give and it doesn't matter who you are, you are getting a hug if you are sad or crying. Or just standing close to her.....

Jamie is perfect the way she is. When I sleep in, I can't wait to get up and see her. When I go somewhere without her, I miss her. Thank you Lord for my Jamie.

Meals

The kids don't like using their booster seats anymore so Jamie stands and Pete sits in a big chair. Or sometimes Jamie sits on me or dad and Pete stands. Or they don't eat at all and get down and when they finally get hungry enough they come back to finish their meal.

When Jamie is done she picks up her plate and hands it to you and says, "All done." And gets down.
Pete eating in a chair where his mouth is barely over the edge of the table.
This picture is so cute but it was like completely dark before I started trying to lighten it up on my computer. Because of the bright sun behind the kids they were like just shadows. But I posted it anyway because it is darling of the both of them.Off to bed. Love to all. Have a great week.

Summer Time

Stopped at Culver's the other day to get some ice cream. Beautiful night and good family fun.
AZ has beautiful desert sunsets. Pete loves to watch the sunset and always says, "It's almost down mom, almost down." We watched this pretty one from the outdoor tables at Culver's.


We had some friends from MOPS come over the other day. Can you believe we are still enjoying our hot tub in June?
New kiddie pool. We have taken 4 back since our original dolphin one either because it wouldn't stay up, we didn't like it or it like popped within the first day or hour of playing in it. Good thing Walmart has a great return policy. So far this one is doing well and the kids love it.
Visited a new mall and a new play area in the new mall on Friday night. Here are the kids enjoying the new adventure.
