Holding on to Summer!

I would love it if Mother Nature would just let it be warm for a little bit longer. I miss swimming outside already. I can see my summer tan fading. The past couple weeks have been spent going for walks and playing at the park. For Labor Day we took one last summer trip to Provo and Richfield, to visit lots of family. We had a really good time, but thats for another post, hopefully sometime soon.

Updates!

Kalab passed his Social Work License test. Yay! He has been working like crazy. He has two jobs and never works the same schedule. Which means chaos! Some days we only get him for 20 mins, barly long enough to scarf a family meal and give hugs and kisses. Poor Halley, stands at the door crying for Daddy, at night she comes to his side of the bed looking for DADA. I miss him too. Hopefully soon, we can find a better arangement. Kalab has been looking and applying for lots of jobs.

I have gone through 4 big totes of clothes and shoes of the girl's, put up listings on Ebay and Craigslist and have made about 200+ bucks. I dont know why I was holding onto them, I have a strange attachment with the girls clothes and thats why there is still 2 totes left, which was 6 total big totes of clothes and shoes, I was holding onto. Boy does it feel good, to have the clothes gone, and money in my pocket, for a certain little misses Birthday thats coming up soon! Ava is so excited about being 5.

Ava is really excelling with swim lessons. I usually drop her off at the pool, then go upstairs to do my workout. Wednesday I came in early to pick her up and at the end of class they race eachother, and when I saw who they matched her up with, I got a little worried. Girls twice her age and size. But she completly smoked them. When I saw her little arms going so fast, I felt like Michael Phelps Mom. I was so impressed and she was so proud I saw her win. Its amazing to see her swim, its almost kind of amusing, Shes short and stalky, but whatever shes doing, its working. She also just learned to ride a bike without training wheels. She growing and learning so fast. I am so proud of her and everything she does, she does well. What a blessing and Joy she is to our family.

Halley Mae. Is becoming quite a handful. What a hoot though. She loves shoes. She knows whose shoes are whose, and when she wants to go, she brings everybody thier shoes and pounds on the door until we open it to leave. She loves to have her hair done and if I am doing Ava's she will cry until I do hers. She loves Bows and neclaces and purses and dolls. She is all girl.
