Freeze.

Let's freeze time for a few months ...

Let's just repeat July and August 3 or 4 times and then maybe I'll be ready to move on to September :)

Reese is so darn cute right now!  She is changing and growing up so fast, every day brings something new.  Today she started telling secrets.  O-M-G, cutest thing ever!!!  She leans into Emerson or Blake's ear and whispers jibberish with a sly little look on her face!  And then they return the secret and she listens intently :)

We had fun on Canada Day, despite a change in plans due to the rain!!  I took Blake and Emerson to their very first movie!  We saw Madagascar 3.  It was a great movie, which they enjoyed along with the popcorn ;)  I thought we might have to leave during the previews, as the volume was WAY too loud for Em.  She was covering her ears and had to sit on my lap :(  But once Madagascar started the volume wasn't quite as high (although still too high IMO!) and she sat in her own seat and enjoyed herself!  There were a few scary parts, but nothing that Blake couldn't handle :)  I don't think I'd take Emerson to another movie, at least for another year or so.  She did enjoy it but I don't think she quite appreciated it as much as Blake!  Although she has said she wants to go to a princess movie in the big theatre, so if an appropriate princess-themed movie came out I think we'd take her!!  After the movie I took the kids to the spray park.  They had an absolute BLAST!!!  Afterwards they had their faces painted and played at the park for awhile.


Today was another hot day!  We had a family game of baseball in the back yard this morning and went to another spray park this afternoon!  Cal and Reese joined us after Reese's nap and we enjoyed watching Reese test the waters ;)  She ran in and out of the spray, laughing and screaming!!  Mom and Dad came in from their lake lot today and joined us for supper!  


It was a fabulous weekend and just a taste of what's to come this summer :)  


Talk to you soon,


Tracy
