Water! Water! Water!

The AZ summer heat has come which means it's water time! This last weekend the girls helped Jeff wash his car. They are getting pretty good at it. If you need a car wash come on over. The girls also were wishing for a swimming pool. Jeff came up with a fun idea and filled the ice chest full of water. It lasted through the weekend, but we felt they might like a little more room and bought a pool. Hayley spent two hours in it the first day. They had so much fun! Even though it was extremely hot at the beginning of the week, we now have a storm rolling through so the temperatures have drastically changed! Weather is crazy.

Book Signing

Last night I went to my first official book signing. The author, Stephenie Meyer! If you haven't every read her books, start now! They are amazing. I went with my friends Andrea and Amanda. If you want the whole story of the night check out their blogs. (Kyrsten is having sleeping issues so I don't have much time to get this posted without interruptions) It was great to meet Stephenie Meyer even though when you get up to her you have no idea what to say without sounding like a total dork, so instead I really didn't say anything and was still a dork. Afterwards we went out to dinner of course. Again, check the other blogs for the whole story:) Girls nights area always a blast! .

Finally

Finally my kiddos are healthy for the moment. Kyrsten had a yucky cold for the last 2 1/2 weeks and was not happy most of those days. Hayley of course started coughing as soon as Kyrsten was done. Fortunately Hayley's only lasted two days and by the end of this week they are both doing much better. Since we were bunkered in the house for most of those days we didn't do much. We did build forts a couple times just to spice up the home life. Today the girls helped Jeff wash the van and later had a blast playing in the backyard with him too. It is sooo nice when Jeff is home!! Yeah for weekends! Hopefully this week we will be able to get out and about, just enough to pick up some more of those contagious germs Kyrsten is so good at getting. It could have nothing to do with her trying to eat random things anywhere:)

They LOVE to make forts and of course watch TV in them.

Good helpers!

Last but not least, our family portrait. From left to right: Katie, Jeff, Hayley, and Kyrsten. Even though I somewhat resemble Mike Wazowski's girlfriend from Monsters Inc. , I was proud of Hayley for starting to draw people. It is so fun to see her learn new things!
