Back to the Heat

Things this week have slowed down to their normal summer drawl.  Last Sunday was spent completely at home, since Brandon was super sick (I think he caught what I had last weekend...), but I think that was good for the kiddos because every day for the past week and a half was spent out of the house.

It's nice to get back into our routine, however boring it may be!  Monday morning we had cub scouts, and we did the swimming badge.  It was so funny because Kylie was right in the thick of things and trying to do everything the boys were doing.  The best part is when we had a race and she jumped off the edge of the pool with everyone else.  She is such a good swimmer now!  We need to get her in some swim lessons so she doesn't need  her floatie anymore.

Besides one day that was cloudy and we could actually take a walk, we've been only going outside to swim, like normal.  Kylie is starting to get a little color and a few freckles!  On Saturday we had our friends over who moved out of the neighborhood last year.  We went swimming.  Surprised?  Kylie and Kennedy are so cute together and they look like little twinners!

Hayden has turned into a little puppy dog now that he can crawl around.  I have him following me around in circles as I do chores or start dinner.  He is already wanting to start helping and of course trying to do everything Kylie does.  He especially likes to try helping with the dishwasher.

Both Hayden and Kylie are growing up so quickly now.  Kylie lately has been all about showing affection and she just loves to give hugs and a million kisses.  It's the best thing when out of the blue she goes to Hayden and croons "So cute cutie pie".  I love it so much!  Of course there are still issues about sharing toys (especially new ones) and personal space, but watching them play together or just back to back is the best thing ever!
