Summer is here!

Not officially, but summer is here in Texas!  Y'all started swim classes a couple of weeks ago, in fact Natalie, you will be going to your 4th lesson!  You are having a blast and making new friends!  All the kids in your class are a little more advanced but you will get there...so I hope I do a good job at keeping you encouraged and never feeling inadequate.  You tell me after class how good everyone is and your face is sad....but then we talk about the good parts and you just beam with pride.  LOVE you!!!   Mommy and Daddy are SO proud of you too!  Learning something where you have to trust in yourself, not someone else to make things happen, is so important.

You are getting so tall and grown up!  Reading, writing, counting to 100, washing your hair, putting on your own shoes and have a really good eye for style.  We are keeping you in pre-school through the summer, basically cause you love it and enjoy hanging with your friends.  It's just crazy to me how much you learn in two half days a week!  My little sponge. ;)  Your BFF is Emme but you talk about so many kids, so I'm glad it's going so well for you.  I hope kinder will be just as awesome....can't believe you will be there in August!  WHAT??  I don't want to talk about it yet....yikes.  :|  Right now you are into my little pony, hello kitty, still love toy story, doc mcstuffins, drawing and "creating art," dancing, etc...etc....etc.  SO many interests.  Your favorite "aminal" is still kitty.  A beautiful black and white cat that belonged to Gramma Marylin.  She would be so happy you love it so much.
I love you to pieces and pieces and you are the apple of my right eye. ;)



Hayden you love your swimming class just as much as sister does. Mom has to be in the pool with  you, and that's fine by me!  It's a fun activity we both can get out and do and you are learning by leaps and bounds!  I love that you feel so comfortable in the water.  When you go under water you say "I fwim wike E-el! (I swim like Ariel)....SO adorable.  I wish I had pictures, but not possible.  Just outside the water. boo.


You are such a sweet little girl, Hayden....so stubborn, so sneaky, so much the little sister, so beautiful and SO loving.  The way you smile at me and hold my face when you give me a kiss melts my overflowing heart.  Hearing you say "I love you, mommy" all on your own is so amazing.  I have no  shortage of emotion from you Haydee-Belle.  You know every body's name, you can count to 20, you are IN LOVE with Toy Story and Ariel, you love to play with imaginary finger friend, you wish to be the mirror image of your sister, you are a fantastic learner and know so many objects by name and all your colors.
I love you to pieces and pieces and you are the apple of my left eye. ;)




No words can express what life is like having you guys in my life.  It's up, it's down, it's all around.  I'm so thankful to have you and even on days when all my imperfections as a mom, wife and woman come flooding in, I still feel so special and loved.



This summer...VACATION!!!  I am optimistic that things will go as smoothly as possible and that we will ALL have a great time! Please, oh please, oh please...pleeeeeeeeeeeease. :)

Until then, lets have some fun in the sun in our backyard "oasis!!"  :)



LOVE YOU!!!!
