We have been busy little bees this past week! The girls both attended camp. Lexus went to soccer camp each day and Kimberly went to Wise Owl Camp. Kimberly learned camp fire songs, how to track animals, what bears do and many other exciting things. She brought home souvenirs every day and at the end brought home her camp journal with all the badges she earned. Lexus learned new soccer games to play with friends and worked to improve her soccer skills. The only souvenir she came home with was a black eye! One the last day of camp she was hit in the face with the ball and her glasses left some good marks on her face. These were just the beginning of many fun camps the girls will attend this summer.
Austin turned 18 months old last Friday and had his checkup on Tuesday. He now weighs 26 lbs. 12 oz. and is 33 ½ "long. He is picking up words like…ball, down, boo boo, a garbled version of truck, fish. He is desperately trying to keep up with his two sisters this summer too. He has started to pout when he doesn't get his way. I am thanking the Lord right now that all he does is sit down, stick out this pitiful lip and just stares at you with puppy dog eyes(sometimes he throws in a little crying). But NO throwing himself on the floor and screaming at the top of his lungs…Thank Goodness! He has started wearing hats again…yeah! He just looks so cute in them. TRUCKS! TRUCKS! TRUCKS! They are the center of his universe right now. Everywhere we go, every car that drives down the street, he goes crazy over trucks. His favorite place to drive passed right now is the new shopping area being added in Newport. He loves seeing all the industrial backhoes, track hoes, etc… he got to see two up close yesterday…he was in heaven!
Randy came home Friday afternoon and we presented him with his father's Day presents and card. We took him out to eat at his favorite restaurant Rio Grande and got some refreshing Hawaiian Shaved Ice for dessert. Isn't this the cutest card!
We've slowly been getting ready for our trip. We washed the car inside and out. Austin thought it was hilarious we were putting bubbles all over the car. The girls put on their new bathing suits to help wash the car. Randy surprised the girls with a new DVD player with 2 screens for the car. Our old one broke 2 ½ years ago and we have been saving for a new one. This will be a trip saver. Kimberly has never been a child to enjoy long car rides. We went to Gatlinburg when she was a toddler and she screamed the entire ride home. Randy and I almost lost our minds. Recently, we went to Indianapolis and she got bored about half way there. The car couldn't move fast enough. We keep praying as she gets older and matures this will go away.
We have a birthday party to enjoy this afternoon, so until then we are just chillin' poolside! (Kiddie poolside)
