Shawn and I joined the YMCA last week in an attempt to start working out. Tonight we went and played racquetball together and dropped the kids off at the daycare there. They LOVE it! Hannah threw quite the fit though when she had to give the dolly she was playing with back to the lady working. haha. It was pretty traumatizing for her.
A funny thing that has been happening lately in the Cox resident happens at bedtime during prayer. KaeLee has been praying lately and not allowing mommy or daddy to pray. "I do it!" is al we hear. But she always starts off her prayer saying "Dear Jesus. Thank you for this day and for grandma and grandpa and for my friends....." and then she goes on to list everything she is thankful for, which include toys, her aunts and uncles, her clothes, going shopping, playing with her friends, going to sleep, playing outside.... and anything she did that day, really. But for the last week she has added "pray for my new house". I looked at Shawn when she said it the first night, and thought, "hmm..... she doesn't like our new house?" But Shawn told me that they were looking together at some toy catalog that came in the mail and she saw a playhouse (a big, outdoor one, like a little tykes or something...) and she said "i want that!" Shawn said something about maybe if you ask for one for Christmas, you might get one. haha. So she has been "asking" alright. Every night. And, I suppose, maybe to the right person..... haha. So I think if she keeps this up, I will probably feel guilty enough by Christmas that we will get them one......
Anyway, I don't have a lot of time to write. big brother is on soon, ya know! And I have to give that show all my attention because I love it so much! :) So here are some more pictures. I figured I should probably post them since I am going to Yakima again tomorrow for the weekend while Shawn goes fishing, so before I have a THIRD visit to catch up on, I should probably post the first two. This weekend is the Moxee Hop Festival, which I have (for some reason) always looked forward to. When you were in high school, this was the cool place to be and see everyone before school starts and get caught up about each other's summers. Now, I suppose I just walk around and see how many people I know. haha. The girls aren't quite old enough for the blow up toys they have, but I think they have a little train ride and last year they really liked the parade and riding on the tractors. They also had pony rides that we missed last year, so maybe this year I can catch them.
Also this weekend, my cousin Scott and his wife, Dawn, and their boys are coming into town from Montana, so that will be great to see them. We usually only see them once a year. Also, my friend, Lindsay (who used to just live a few houses down from us) is having her daughter, Kalli's, second birthday party! KaeLee has been talking about this all week too. She can't wait! So we are excited to see them too! I know I have talked about this before....... but Lindsay has 2 daughters. They are spaced out just like KaeLee and Hannah, but about 6 months later. Kalli is right in between KaeLee and Hannah, and her youngest daughter, McKenzie, is about 9 months younger than Hannah. It's too bad we moved away, because I am sure those four girls would have had a blast together, living so close! I know us mamas would have had lots of fun!
KaeLee blowing bubbles at Grandma and Grandpa Sauve's house
and again. She's so serious about it.
There's a smile..... kinda
Hannah's turn!
Shawn and the girls swimming at my dad's house (oh yeah, we went to visit them for the day a couple of weeks ago too) It's funny how it ended up being mostly Shawn's family during June, and mostly my family during July.....
My dad joins in the swimming...
Playing with the golf clubs
KaeLee trying to golf..... with two clubs
The ice cream truck often drives by our house and this time, I let the girls have a treat. A Popsicle. I think they liked it. They didn't eat hardly any of it, but they had fun. I think they like that it came from the truck mostly.
KaeLee with her Popsicle, eating out on the front porch.
The girls coloring
Hannah taking a nap on the way to grandma and grandpas house. SO cute.

Sunbathing..... haha
KaeLee running down the hill. The girls' favorite thing to do
Hannah being goofy
Blowing bubbles with the girls
I love the tongue! haha
Climbing up the hill.... and searching for trouble....
Blowing bubbles with grandpa and Hannah proceeds to dance like a ballerina..... haha
Lots of bubbles
The girls love blowing bubbles together!
The first time we went over to visit, (the beginning of the month), my brother, sister in law and Jake came over to visit too! I haven't seen little Jake since Easter, so it was nice to see how big he's gotten. The girls love to play with him.
See how happy they are playing with him?? :)
Hannah swinging with uncle Kory
KaeLee's a "big girl" and swings all by herself!
Then the brothers decide they are little kids again and have a bubble fight....
Hannah and uncle Konner
Running down the hill is one of their favorite things to do. Hannah especially loves it! She would do it over and over again for hours..... haha
Jake, KaeLee and uncle Tim running together
Grandma plays ring around the rosie with the grandkids
Well, that's all for now. I will try to be better about writing blogs. I really do have a lot I wanted to write about, but there just isn't enough time in the day it seems. Hannah is really talking up a storm and knows lots of words now. She's a smart little one! My mind is going completely blank other than that at the moment. I have so much to do this morning before we leave at nap time today. And I am by myself this time. Shawn's not here to keep the girls out of my hair while I pack. See? I probably should have been packing last night instead of blogging...... oh well. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Have a great weekend everyone!
