Summer is hear....

...at least it feels like it today. Seems like the weather can't quite decide what season it is yet. We'll have a couple days where it's so hot we have to come inside mid-day...then days it feels like brisk spring all day with the sun shinning...then cold hail/rain...and even an inch of snow fell in the valley last week :P But today looks be be shaping up as a good day for us to play outside.

Mark is done with School and has decided to take a break from it this Summer....YEA!! It may mean he'll be in school longer...but he's just so burnt out from going to school through the last three summers. We couldn't be happier to have him around more...espeacally Faye who has taken to getting really pouty and saying "I miss my Daddy so much." everytime he leaves anywhere. Like wise as soon as he walks into the door she screams "My Daddy Prince! You want to play with me?" He came home the other day to a chorus of cheers and jumping dances from his girls...and he thought that was pretty neat.

Faye is a typical mouthy, demanding, bossy 2.5 yr old, but in her defense she's also has the biggest heart and loves giving hugs and holding hands...even if it involves complete strangers :P She has no "Stranger Danger Sense" yet...we're working on that. She plays daily with two little neighbor boys who adore her and she absolutly can't live a day without seeing them. All three of them are the same age and all have August Birthdays. I love the play dates because the boys Mom's and I have become good friends.

Lydia will be 1 yr old this Saturday...I can't beleive my baby is getting so old. She's started walking every now an then...When she decides to walk she's very determinded and if she falls she'll stand back up and get a little farther, and fall, and get up, and fall, and get up. But She still favors crawling because she a jet on her knees :P Lydia is all attitude, and most of the time I don't know what to do with her, but she's my kisser and if your lucky and pick her up at just the right time she'll lean in and give you an imediate sloppy kiss.

I'm doing well...getting to know my Camera a little better...It's a fun toy for me...plus my inlaws gave me a Cricut expression for Mother's day... I keep telling Mark "It's the best gift I never knew I always wanted!" because I never so much as asked for one...but now that I have it I don't know how I lived without it....the camera/cricut combo makes for some promissing stay-at-home bussiness opportinities...that I'm all to excited about :P

Well that's is for us...love you all and hope your well...The Walkers
