Anyway, we have been trying to stay busy this summer! Here is a little of what we have been up to...
Miss Julianne is now in a BIG girl bed! As with any transition, it was probably harder on us than it was for her! She got up ONE time the second night, but so far she is sleeping great! I have realized that it is all about distractions...she must always have a book, her puppies, and a sippy cup of water. Works for me! She's so cute when we go and get her after nap or in the morning - she will get down whenever she wakes up, gets a toy or two and then gets BACK into her bed to play. One time I found her with an entire container of Lego's, two pairs of shoes and several baby dolls - all on her bed with her! Hilarious!
Here is our sleeping princess during the first nap in her bed:
J, J and I went to the zoo with my friend Miranda and her kiddos. Miranda was my Big Sister in Sigma Phi Lambda at HBU. We don't get to see each other very often, but when we do it's always a fun, chaotic, "zoo" of kiddos!
Here are J&J at the splash pad in the Children's Zoo:
THEN this HUGE group of HUGE kids invaded the splash pad. We were so irritated! We had to make OUR children come out of the water area because we couldn't even see them anymore. You can barely see Jacob through all of the HUGE kids on the left. Ugh! (I'm done, now.)
We took a much needed break to re-fuel and get out of the sun for a bit: (L-R; Jacob, Maddie, Ethan, Miranda, Caedmon, Julianne)
We also got to spend some time with Christin and her kiddos (I knew Christin and Spencer from WTBC waaaayyyy back in the day). They live in Austin and we have never met each other's children (in person) until last week!!! CRAZY! Too bad that Collin and Jacob not only favor each other in the looks department, but they have the same silly, little boy personality :) They got along great! Julianne and Bailey hung out with the mommas for the most part, but I know they will be good friends, too :) Fun day of playing with LOTS of cars, lunch and then swimming at Granna and Pops' house!!
And then we have just our normal day-to-day life -
Superman eating waffles before saving the world:
And a little sibling love (in between the knock-down-drag-out fights over snacks, toys, rooms, chairs, floor space, air...)
