Cousin Love!

Just some tidbits...

  What have we been up to lately? You know how we like to stay busy while daddy is not here, so here goes:

Being silly pretty much all the time, 

 

 

finding different ways to cool off in this Phoenix heat,

 

getting a stomach bug (yuck!) that thank God only lasted one evening,

just being a total sweetheart sometimes, making the difficult day worth it,

and one of our favorites, swimming at Nana's and Poppy's! 

Here with my 16 week belly:

Chase in his perfect little "raft"!

 

And Rylie just doing what she does, getting better at swimming daily!

 

Albuquerque Trip!

So Rylie and I took to the road again to visit daddy (and my daddy, Jeanette, our friends and other family) last week. We got to stay a whole week, thanks to mom and Tracy for helping with our doggies at home! :) We had fun visiting Peepaw and Nana J, spending time with daddy, and getting to visit with our good friends in town from Las Cruces, including our good friends just coming home from Afghanistan - it was awesome to witness their coming home to family and friends!

I'm glad I had more energy this past week to deal with traveling and chasing after my very lively child, I'm almost 16 weeks and feeling GREAT! Let's just hope that I have the energy to deal with this Phoenix summer heat (it's already broken 100 degrees here folks! Yikes!) I see many trips to mom's pool and the splash pads in the near future....

Don't you dare call her girly!

This girl had a blast in the mud at Nana J's house, and any chance she gets to play with the hose you better make sure you have a full change of clothes ready!

Loving it outside!

This kid just LOVES to be outside! It's hard to get her back inside once we've been playing outside for a while. So some afternoons when the weather is perfect, it feels so great to just get outside for a bit and just hang out with this kiddo :)
