Summer

I can't believe it's already summer again. Sometimes living in Austin is like living on the surface of the sun. Every summer I moan and complain, "Why do we live here?! It's sooo hot!!". Then in the winter I'm all, "Oh, I love living in Austin! I couldn't deal with all of the snow!". Geez.

I managed to pass my entrance exam for the nursing program and officially applied on Monday. Who knows if I will get in this time around. If not, I'll just reapply for next year. Trying not to get too worked up over it.

BB is growing so fast and we are already talking about her first birthday party..sob!! I can't believe how quickly time passes. I get tears in my eyes when I think about it. She will be grown before I know it.  She is fully crawling and pulling up on everything. There is no sitting still for me when she's on the move! Sleeping is still sucky. But eating is better. She loves yogurt and I can pretty much hide anything in it. She had her 9 month doctors appointment a few weeks ago. She weighed 17 pounds and was 28 inches long. Her weight is in the 20th percentile and her height and head were the 70th. Ha! Big head...long and skinny.

AB is doing good. Just giving me the typical summer phrase "I'm Bored" all day long. Oh well. Too bad. He is such a home body and doesn't really like going anywhere. But he doesn't want to stay home. Ugh. What to do?! We were going to let him do a few weeks of day camp but now we have decided to visiti with my family. God help me now. It's very stressful to be with them. Hopefully it will be fun, especially for him.

My birthday is coming up and I can NOT even believe that I will be 37 years old! I'm almost 40! When did that happen?

I had all of these grand ideas for a post but now I can't remember to save my life. I'll just have to update later, if I think about it.

And of course, I can't write a post without adding photos..

Look who is in big girl pajamas!!

How am I supposed to wash THIS laundry?!

Has anyone told you that your children are beautiful? Oh, well, they ARE. :) I, too, love that close up of AB. Looks like your new camera is treating you nicely. I'm from Texas and I can tell you that it does get hotter- it's called Nebraska (where I moved to). Imagine the heat plus a layer of intense humidity PLUS super freezing, snowy, icy winters. Boooo.

It's nice to see you in some pics with the kids!! You all look great and so happy. I'm jealous of BB's teeth. Stella is still nothing but gums!

Love all the pics :)

Colin just finished school today, i am sure the "I am bored" is right around the corner.

Yay for passing your eam and applying to school.

Great pics, love the one of the three of you! Our local theater does a kid show (three bucks and they get in and get the kiddie popcorn meal) on Tues/Wed at 10. Not much, but it's one thing that's cheap!

I think it's terribly hot in TX too, I dread going out in the summer!
