Favorite Things

Just a couple of Paige's favorite things right now. She loves to walk around without any clothes on, and will change her outfit 3-4 times a day. She loves to be wearing her princess night gowns any time of the day. She is very picky about her clothes and throws a fit when I don't let her wear what she wants.....another opinionated child when it comes to clothes. Loves to have her shoes on, and loves to "GO". She likes to ride in the car and if we are somewhere and she is ready to go she for sure lets us know. She also loves this doll and has been carrying around everywhere the last couple of days. And she loves to read books, especially princess, or Elmo books.

We love our Paige!

This past week

Started off good and we had kind of a rough end. Highlights are:

A healthy baby boy

The end of soccer, its just too dang hot!!!

Four of my most favorite people

Fun running through the sprinklers!

Kylie got sick early Wednesday morning so the whole family didn't get to go, so Tanner and I were able to see the baby, and everything looks great.....and yes it's still a boy! Then I ended up getting the bug....I think that moms shouldn't be allowed to sick. It was a rough day and a half. Hopefully this next week will be better and everyone else will stay healthy.

Hot

I don't know if it is just me or if it has been hot...... I mean why are we over 100 already? I guess that is part of living in AZ, but we couldn't do without these. It's amazing how many we go through in a summer.

But we really like to be here...nothing beats friends and spending time at the pool!

Secret Mom

This morning at breakfast we were talking about making cards for our grandma's for Mothers Day. Tanner then preceded to tell me that he has a "secret mom".
T: I have a secret mom who has a Nike shirt, and blue pants on.
Me: really?
T: Yes she has long hair and blue eyes
Me: start to get a little teary eyed
T: She has a big nose and big feet!

Okay at this point I lose the tears and start laughing! Leave it to a 5 year old!!

Three Piggy Opera

Tanner performed in the Three Piggy Opera for preschool. He was so excited about it, and would practice the songs every night at dinner. He did so well at the performance it was so fun to watch. I couldn't figure out why the video cam wasn't working so all I got were pictures. But hopefully we can get a copy, I was told that he was singing the loudest. Guess that could be good or bad? I am just glad that he did such a great job, and he looked pretty cute!

Today when I went to pick him up from preschool, he had this cool space man costume on. I loved it so we had to take a picture. Unfortunately it ripped a little but at least we can see what it was supposed to look like. He has loved preschool and has learned so much. I can't believe that I will have a kindergartner this coming fall.

I Hate Cleaning These!

I think it is because they get dusty again so fast. Wish there was an easier way than wiping every singe individual blind. I've tried other ways but it never seems to work like the good old fashioned way. Oh well someday I will be rich enough to own an maid and never do it again. 1 down 16 to go!

Girls just want to have fun

We had a great day filled with fun and mostly girls. I started the day with a hike later than usual but it was good. Then off to the store to buy some last minute things for Jason and Tanner's father and sons camping trip. We saw them off then headed to our friends for some playtime. Paige and Kylie had so much fun playing with 9 other girls. I picked them up and we headed home to eat some lunch then head to the pool. We got there and met 6 other friends and kids at the pool. We had a great time. Kylie is a little fish and loves the water, and Paige was a animal in the water. Jumping in and having a great time. It scares me that she loves it so much I really have to watch her because she is fearless. I need to put her in swim lessons with the other 2 but we will have to wait till next year. We had our fill of swimming so we headed home for a nap for Paige, but it didn't happen because we had to leave to see our movie an hour after we got home.

Of course Paige fell asleep in the car, and slept while we got our tickets and popcorn and sat down in the theatre. We were the only ones for a while, and then a few more people trickled in. We saw

and it was really good, and Paige was really good (Kylie woke her up from her nap too soon!) until the last 10 minutes or so. Such a bummer we had to leave because she kept yelling and crying "GO" "GO". But Kylie said she liked the movie and of course wants to go back.

We then ran to Walmart for some groceries, and picked up pizza for the girls favorite, picnic in the living room. It was a good day and I had so much fun playing with my girls....but I was happy when they fell asleep because I was exhausted!
