School is in full swing and things are going great.  Hailey loves her new school, and is enjoying making new friends and learning.  She is doing AWESOME at reading.  The girls have been enjoying the bunny, Buttercup.  Or is it Candace?  Hailey informed us this past weekend that we were picking another name...haha.  It is still so darn hot out, but the pool is definitely cooling off, which is a good sign of cooler weather....YEAH!!!

The girls are LOVING the swing set right now, especially

Addy.  When she is on it, she's all giggles, but when it's

time to get off....it's full on melt down most days!  Poor

girl, must be rough not to be able to make many decisions :(

Our little smiley girl.  She does wear clothes

sometimes...haha.  Not too often, but she does.

Hailey treats the bunny more like a baby.  

She walks around with her like this in

her arms singing to her...lol.

Cute girl!!

Someone gave us a blow up alligator for the pool.

The girls had fun airing it up.  They did not

want to admit that it was tiring them out...haha.
Hailey looked at it and exclaimed "It's a girl!"  When
I asked her how she knew, she said "Eyelashes"...haha.

All done pumping it up and SO excited

to swim with it.

But first they had to wrestle it...haha.

Take that!!!

This is how Addy was sleeping one night!  Must
be comfy!!

She is getting bigger.  

For the past two weeks, Jaren and Eric

have been working on making each of them

a smoker.  They have had many late nights, but

it turned out pretty good.  Jaren was saying "I'm 

gonna smoke a ham, a brisket, ribs..." and I was

all "yeah, I don't have to make dinner!"  Then....

he watches a documentary called Forks over

Knives, and now he says he is going to eat

a plant based diet!  LOL, I don't know why

this is so funny to me!  And sad too, because

I was going to be making less dinners...haha.  I even

came across a website he wrote down on a sticky that

said "dadcooksdinner.com".....and I was like

"OH YEAH"!!!!!
