Some Fun

We didn't swim much this summer. We never really do. Not by choice we just don't really have much opportunity to do it. Here is one of the 2 times we went! The kids love it and Peyton loves to pretend like he can swim. Paige is just happy floating around the pool going wherever the water takes her, until she calls for me to get her from the opposite end of the pool. We have a good time when we do go and only get a little sunburned.

Peyton is only sad here because Paige didn't want to play with him. In fact she didn't want him even touching her floaty. Which you'll see in the next picture.

This is not a happy face, Paige is screaming at the top of her lungs (there's no other way to scream) because Peyton is trying to pull her around the pool.

And after a long day struggling with my emotions, very little patience and kids that didn't nap and were stuck inside the house allll day, I couldn't wait to get the kids to bed! But then suddenly there they were, silently eating a chocolate chip cookie and milk right after a bath and watching a show before bed. And then I didn't want them to go to bed and I had to squeeze them both and plop big kisses on their cheeks.

Don't kill bugs, they're people too.

Teachers

I have put in almost 8 years at Dancenergy. I have seen LOTS of dancers come and go. But I have also seen dancers come and stay. I said goodbye last Thursday to my dancers, some who started ballet with me as their teacher. "You were my first ballet teacher!" some of them said. It about broke my heart to leave them. But time to move on to the next chapter. I don't know what the future holds for me as far as teaching, I know I will still do it, but in what form I'm not sure. So thank you to DE for letting me be a part of the family for so long. I love you guys!

4th of July

Alright, I'm ready to move on. I think I probobly read my last post about a hundred times. I think I was just making sure it really happened. It did. I heard from Dr. Ponkey yesterday and saw Dr. Huish earlier yesterday. They both reminded me what happened just over a week ago.

I had to remind Peyton today that there was no longer a baby in my tummy. He just said, "Oh yeah, well you have another one!" I said, "No, not yet, but hopefully we will again soon." He seemed satisfied so we left it at that.

And now, moving on. We had a great 4th of July in Show Low. First parade, candy, barbecue, lounging, naps/driving around, hitting baseballs, popping popcorn, fireworks, then straight to bed. These were just a few of the highlights I caught.

"Peyton, let mommy take a picture of you!"
and this is what he gave me:
