This is the LIFE!

We took a 5 day vacation to San Diego (those posts will come soon), so today I am getting caught up and realizing just how far behind I am. I know you know we all know how time flies and how bad I get with my blogging! I mean seriously - it's already September?!?

Here's a sneak peak of our summer - we had a few birthdays (hence the cupcakes) Grandma, Lauren, Mom, Me, Matt/Scott and Matt and I celebrated 11 years!

Reese learned how to swing herself and loves it!

Reese and Lane have a real blast together!

Loving on each other and Daddy is the best!

We had a lovely dinner at Papa's Steakhouse with Todd, Leslie, Shelley and Stephen. The Bazins are moving to Oklahoma for a work rotation but have promised to move back in a few years! We will miss them for sure.

Reese and Lane couldn't resist chalk and pajama's on the driveway.

Lane loves his Christmas pj's from last year - I love them too!

They love to help water the azaleas and make a muddy mess too!

Yuck!

Lane adores Cars and Cars 2 characters. He even sleeps with this Cars 2 book. He can name all of them although when he says McQueen it sound like The King. We know what he is saying.

And one of our favorite moments of the summer - laying in the grass in the evening and looking up at the clear blue sky. We relax and say, "This is the LIFE!"

Bluebell mini rainbow popsicles were a great find too. Lane must have two hands full at all times!

Love it!



Gotta wear shades!

The kids were really into their sunglasses today. Of course Lane is wearing a pair of Reese's! They were so excited and had even shared and traded.

Reese got a new hair do two weeks back. She was getting so hot that we decided to go short for the rest of the summer! Especially because she will not let me pull it back or braid it. Her hair grows so fast it'll be long again by winter.

When I dropped them off at school Lane's friend Channing who is almost 2 said, "Hi Lane!" It was so cute.

Then Reese insisted that she be able to wear her sunglasses when they went out to play later in the morning. Her teacher obliged.

After school I took the kids to Cleburne Cafeteria for dinner. We dined on turkey and dressing, mac n cheese, green beans, blue jello, watermelon and a muffin. It was delish! Reese liked the cranberry sauce and Lane liked the muffin. Yummy.

Then Lane had to have those sunglasses again.

Speaking of 2 - Lane will be 2 years old in October. How is that possible? His terrible two's are fairly minor at this point. When he doesn't get his way he immediately lays face down on his belly like superman and whines for about 10 seconds. That is the extent of it now. Not bad! Let's hope I didn't just completely jinx the whole thing.

Tea!

Our kids love big huge cups of tea (a kids size portion will not do)! If we have it they want it! I am pretty sure they got this from their Great Grandma Ruth...

I really don't make it a habit, but we were at Costco and trying to keep them happy. LOL!

Popsicles and Blocks!

Look how much Lane changed in just two weeks.

And I want the camera!
