Sunday, July 10, 2016

              I love being a mom.  My kids say the funniest things.  Xadia lost one of her canine teeth.  The tooth fairy left her a dollar.  When I asked what she got from the tooth fairy she said, “a dollar and that is not very much.”  I laughed and asked her what she thought she should have got for losing a tooth?  She did not respond.  
                Xadia has become quite the little swimmer.  She is taking swimming lessons with kids a whole head taller than her.  She keeps up with them.  Her form is great and sometimes she is first to swim across the pool.  I took a little movie of her swimming.  You can view it below.  This makes me so happy to see Xadia able to swim.  I always think back to July of 2012 when she almost drowned and we had to revive her and then take her to the hospital.  I am so thankful that she can swim now with confidence.

                Teagan is also taking swimming lessons.  He is having a great time.  He so badly wants to swim on his own and he can for about 3 strokes and then he needs help.  He is itching to jump off the diving board at the rec. center.  Unfortunately he has to be able to swim to the side of the pool by himself.  He is not there yet.  The outfit he is wearing in the picture is what he wears everyday for a week straight.  He is so funny.  He loves his swim trunks and shirt.

                Teagan has also discovered scissors and hair.  He decided to cut his hair.  There are patches of hair on the bathroom floor and little patches on Teagan’s head.  He will get a haircut very soon. 
                McCabe loves to do lemonade stands with Caden and Teagan.  They make some good money so he buy fishing gear.  McCabe is big into fishing.  Every chance he gets he wants to go fishing.  Tim took him and Teagan on an overnight camping trip and they had a great time.  They caught fish and ate doritos and top ramen.  On the way home they stopped and slurpees.  Life was so good for these boys.
                Jacinda, myself, and Xadia had a girls night out.  We went to the library, had our nails done, and then ate at Texas Roadhouse.  Xadia found a huge peanut.  I though for sure there were 3 nuts inside.  Turns out there were only 2 fat ones.  It was a fun night.  I love being with my girls.  They are so special to me.
