Summertime.....

What a gorgeous week last week! Sun shiny, not too terribly hot and not crazy busy! We had an awesome time with some awesome friends on Saturday to celebrate our freedom here in the U.S.A.. There was swimming, yummy food, lots of laughter and we ended with really nice fireworks! The only thing that would've made it better was Kailyn, but she did come home on Sunday! Woo Hoo! She had a blast on her and her dad's annual float trip!We ordered pizza, hung out with Joe's mom, sister, brother and niece and shot some fireworks in the driveway and then watched the park fireworks just the four of us, on the 4th. By the way, Kailyn had not met Nelson until she came home on Sunday, and I'm pretty sure she hasn't put him down yet. Between Myer and Nelson, she's been one busy girl!

Monday was pretty relaxed. Kailyn had swim lessons in the morning, but it had started to rain and Joe said the storms were right on top of us so we shouldn't go. Needless to say, Kailyn missed her first lesson.....oops. Luckily, her Aunt Jordan will be taking her for the remainder of the lessons and, since she teaches them, she also HAS to be there! Honestly, after not going to those, the only time we left the house was to go to Wal-Mart (and I left once to get my daily Sonic Tea). We did do some swimming in the backyard in the kiddie pool, and the ice cream truck drove by, so we flagged him down! Who doesn't love an ice cream truck in the summer time? Papa and Mimi also stopped by on their way back in town from the lake.

Anywho, other than continuing swim lessons, we don't have many plans for this week. We are planning to see Eclipse with friends one day.....I CAN'T WAIT! Myer was possibly held more this past weekend than ever in his life, so he was acting quite spoiled last night. As in crying unless he was being held or he wouldn't sleep, spoiled. Therefore, Mommy got no sleep last night, and boy is she tired.....Come on 4:30pm!

By the way, if you'll notice, Kailyn's hair is in a low ponytail in every single picture she's in. She can "fix her own hair" now. I am only allowed to fix it if "we are going somewhere important or we have pictures"! AND.....Last night I put my Sonic cup on Kailyn's American Girl Catalog on the coffee table and when she came downstairs, she said, "Seriously, Mom, my magazine?". Busted. THEN.....I can't remember exactly what happened, but Joe said he couldn't do something or was scared of something or something to that effect, and Kailyn said, "Oh come on, Joe, man up!" He said, "She gets that from you," to me, and Kailyn said, "Actually I got it from Freddy on iCarly". BAHAHAHAHAHA! Have a great day.
