summer time has arrived






























We have officially dusted off(scrubbed actually) the old plastic pool. Rieley and Morgan had a blast playing in it. Morgan is very daring...she went down backwards and upside down. Rieley isn't quite so brave...but she can pose like the best of them. Leyton was taking a nap. I'm not comfortable with her and the pool yet. Unless of course I'm willing to spend all my day next to it....and I wasn't today so it got dumped as soon as she was awake.

never a boring moment


This is a typical day in my home. Rieley and Morgan are being super silly. Morgan was dressed and eventually was down to this. They both picked their own socks that morning and who wouldn't choose the two brightest, prettiest colors(I typically prefer white)? Morgan also did her own hair. She was so proud...as she should be. Leyton is happy as always. She loves hot dogs. She is a particular eater, but hot dogs will always satisfy. She's even learning how to say it. The last picture is of Rieley and Morgan helping me to clean house(not so much Morgan). Usually as soon as I get the bathroom scrubbed, I find it hours later covered in water spots and hand soap. They are so helpful. This is also what Morgan looked like at the beginning of the day......the picture above is the outcome.

Even princesses have to be safe when learning how to ride a bike.

Morgan has just learned how to pedal on her bike this past week. Now she and Rieley are unstoppable on the back patio. Leyton just needs a little motorized four wheeler or something.

Even though the weather is heating up nicely...all of the girls are getting over colds they got last week. I don't know why I even go to church. We always end up sick afterward. Rieley had to miss both of her days at preschool last week because of her cough. But we are doing much better now. The coughs won't ever go away, but the rest of it is gone. Just in time for church again.....
