Caleb Get Another Haircut

Caleb has been asking me for a long time to cut his hair. He likes it spiked up. It was starting to look cute, getting long again. I really did not want to cut it. I know he looks cute with it short too, but I just love it long. It's kind of a gross picture of his hair on the counter, but when I cut it off, I can't get over how much hair he has for a little boy. Well my handsome man got his spikey hair. Even if I am biased - somethings are still true - he is just so extremely cute!

Family Visit

My brother, Scott, and his family came to visit us a couple of weeks ago. We really miss them so much. We had a great visit, but it was too short. We don't get to see them enough. We tried to take them to the beach, but it kept raining on us, thus the picture of the kids in the back of the van. If you look close enough you can see Emma's little head peeking from beyond the rest of the kids. We grilled out for Father's day while the kids went swimming. Hannah and Gage spent a couple of nights with us. We stayed up late playing games, our favorite was Clue. Then the kids sacked out all in the same room. The pictures of them all crowded together, 4 in one bed, is so funny. I don't know how they slept like that. I miss my family and I was so grateful they drove all the way down here to visit. Can't wait to see them again.

Too Much Wii

Lately, Caleb has really gotten into the Wii. He wants to play it as soon as he gets up in the morning and he would play it all day until it was bedtime it we would let him. Another reason why I like the pool, because it gets them outside. But what does it say when a little boy doesn't take a stuffed animal or his favorite blanket to bed, but the Wii controls. Its sad. I told him today that he might need an intervention.

Our Pool

We decided with the high gas prices we would try to keep our traveling down, but we wanted to keep the kids busy this summer, so we decided to buy an above ground pool. I would definitely say it was money well spent. The kids have been in it everyday, except for when it was raining. It's been nice. We are having a lot of fun. And Emma finally decided that she didn't need mommy or daddy holding her in the pool. She just decided one day that she could swim by herself with her water wings, and she has even tried a couple of times without them, but she didn't like that very much. I love summer, I love being with the kids.

Young Women's Camp

Breana went to her first Girl's Camp. She really seemed to have a good time. I took a few of the girls up there. I helped Breana get her cabin all set up - okay I was just looking for an excuse not to leave. I tried to hang out as long as I could. Tucker told me I couldn't follow her around at camp. Okay I did have a hard time leaving her there, realizing that my daughter was old enough to be going to Camp and that I was old enough to have a daughter old enough. But I also just have always loved Girls Camp. Anyways after a few tears I finally left. I am glad she had a good experience I can't wait for her to have more.
