Summertime here we come...

This is a great time of year!!! Although it's been HOT HOT HOT most days, we've had some fun in the sun recently!!! Both our kids absolutely love the outdoors and it's almost a battle to bring them in, sweating, sticky and all. We've played in the kiddie pool, the sprinkler, gone to the big pool and have trips this summer planned for the beach (this weekend!!!), river and hopefully the lake. Not to mention it's almost birthday season around here, so lots of fun to be had!!!

Colten's great. It seems he's grown sooo much in the last few months. I have to admit, however, I'm a little ready for the 4's. The 3's seem to have worn me out!!! He definitely has a mind of his own and is more than happy to use it when and on whoever he can. He's such a sure-of-himself, independent thing and hardly ever slows down. He spent 3 days last week in Llano with my parents and his cousin and had a blast. School is out this week, which we will miss terribly. He still absolutely adores Cambry, which at this point she lets him know when to back-off.

Cambry's great and I think even MORE independent than Colten is/was. She is so sure of herself and has more determination than I could have imagined in a child. She's into EVERYTHING and all over the place. I cannot keep up with her anymore. One minute she's right beside me and the next she's in a drawer or cabinet and has managed to pull whatever she can find out. It's one mess after another, oh the joys!!! She is standing, cruising, pushing the walker (barely holding on), but has yet to take that first step. I will walk into a room and there she is just standing there. She says ma-ma, da-da, uh-oh and hi. While Colten was in Llano, she had her first "official" haircut. It was great until I had to hold her head still, then it was over. Both kids love daddy-time. It's always a joy (for us all) when we hear daddy walk through the door. Now, whatever Colten and Caleb do together, Cambry just joins right in.

That about wraps it up for now. I'll be sure to post beach pictures, but now time for more fun in the sun!!!
