Catching up

Gosh, it's almost time for summer break to be over:( It has gone by really fast for us. We have stayed busy with a couple of different trips to Scottsdale for a little relaxation. First with friends and then again with family.

We have spent many hours in the pool. Besides getting a good tan, our two oldest LOVE the water. Peyton is full on swimming with no assistance. Carlee ditched her floaties and is becoming quite the little mermaid! Lincoln on the other hand, only wants in the water if he is being held. He hates his little float. He screams when you put him in it. He is content to sit in the shade and eat snacks:)

Kyle, Holly, and the girls came for a visit. We stayed at a really cool resort in Scottsdale. They are so much fun! We enjoy every second we get to spend with them! They are pretty much just like us, but older:) HE HE!! I hope we can live near them again!! We can truly be ourselves with them.

Lincoln had his one year check up. He is weighing in at 23 pounds these days. My mom and I are convinced that he is double that! He is such a little tornado! That is my new nickname for him. He destroys everything in his path! He is always in destructive mode. He will go room to room and throw things around and then leave. He whines a lot these days. I like to think that it's his teeth. He is getting more to add to his big collection!

Speaking of teeth, Peyton lost another tooth! He looks kind of funny. He has his two front teeth(which are a little large) and then no teeth beside them! We call him chicklets:) It is hard to believe he is going into second grade! Time is going way to fast around here, this mama ain't happy!

Carlee is getting sassier by the day. The things that come out of her mouth are so mature and sometimes not appropriate and a little rude! I think she spent too much time around her older cousins. She is saying things that I have heard them say. But she's still our little princess! She is so into fashion, although some of her wardrobe decisions are questionable!?!?! She has to match and have a bow. She also insists on wearing shoes in the house! She can talk her way into getting anything she wants! Dave and I are concerned about this:/

That's all we know these days! Things are slowing down a little, which is nice! Dave and I are excited about our little date tomorrow night. We are meeting some friends for happy hour then we are heading to watch 'Bad Teacher'. Should be fun to watch, especially with a bunch of teachers!!

Too tired to post pics! This is why I don't blog sometimes because loading pics takes too long! If you want to see pics from our trip, check out my facebook page!

Stay cool, especially tomorrow in the 117 degree heat!
