Summer

Summer gets HERE in southern AZ in May.

So weve been living in the HEAT for awhile now...

It hits 90 every single day....it gets above 95 every single day....it hits 100 often. How do people live in Phoenix? I would die. We live up at 5000 ft elevation so we don't get the same summer as Tucson and Phoenix. It still knows how to hot though!

I havent taken many pictures this month here are a few that are totally summer.

How Nasty are these summerlicious feet?

As for me, ive hit 37 weeks! Baby-O has received his notice to vacate the premises.

10 on 10

Take a photo every hour for ten consecutive hours on the tenth of each month.

Document a day of your life and find beauty among the ordinary moments.

I have been wanting to do a 10 on 10 for a year now! This is my first one, thanks to a few friends reminding me to get it going.

I woke up with a sore throat this morning, so I made myself a cup of tea.

I told Hailey it was 10 on 10 day and we were going to take pictures....

 I always find toys set up around the house like this, Haileys ZhuZhu pet eating hunters REAL Hamster food.

Hunter enjoying lunch time and watching a video on Daddys Computer

Haileys belly button has an infection and I tried to get a picture of the redness....FAIL.

She has a cute little belly button though!

Another toy, hanging out....with a dish towel.

 Do you spy my ladybug friend?

 The mobile hanging in Baby O's crib, It was Hunters....and then Haileys.

 Grilling porkchops for dinner!

 My FAVORITE moment of the day? Finding my husband doing the dishes, and I didnt ask him too! Yay!

Stay Tuned for more growing!

However looking at them like this, really doesn't seem to get much bigger?

Its just my imagination.....

Hailey is a VERY imaginative child. She is rarely just Hailey, usually she is a Mom, a princess, a ninja and always has her friend "Shee-me" at her side.

From what I can tell Shee-mee is a nice kid, he has manners and plays well with Hailey. He also never whines or complains and seems to generally be a very happy boy.

He comes everywhere with us, and every now and then we forget him...he always seems to find us though. Right now Shee-mee is at the doctor because he is sick. Get well soon Shee-mee!

here she is playing tag with sheemee

Today I was informed that Hailey's Granddaughter named Sally is here and Hailey's assistant Brobee is protecting them from bad guys. Now Brobee is the only one I can see, it is the dancing Brobee toy from the Nickelodeon show Yo Gabba Gabba. Brobee has become one of Haileys best friends and she holds his hand and walks him all over the house.

In the car Hailey will talk up a storm and tell you about the dreams she has.... even in her sleep this little girl is in a world of amazing! Most the dreams she tells us about contain Unicorns, dragons, princesses, castles and battling the evil witch. She will go on for 15 minutes describing every detail of what happened in her dream. This is ALWAYS in the car which is a huge bummer because I want to write it all down! I need to buy a recorder.

Hunter is also quite the imaginer, though he doesnt share with me exactly whats going on, I just witness it. The past few days he will go into the backyard and just RUN as fast as he can in circles. Every few laps he will do a kung fu kick or punch to the air then keep on running.

This afternoon I found him in the backyard with a wine bottle opener and a meat tenderizer, when I asked what he was doing he said they were his weapons to fight the bad guys in the backyard. I told him those were dangerous and offered him a plastic spatula...he looked at me like i was an idiot and said "THAT is NOT a weapon mom." My bad.

I love my kids, they are so entertaining. I just wish we could keep those imaginations forever!

Things I learned on our trip San Diego

1. La Jolla beach, is STILL my favorite place in the entire world.

#2. Pepcid Complete works 1000x better for Heartburn than Zantac. I was lucky enough to experience the WORST heartburn I've ever had in my life the 4 days we were in California. It started here in AZ and apparently wanted to go on Vacation with us. NOT being able to eat greasy food makes eating on a trip incredibly difficult. Pepcid helped though, hooray!

#3. When you're going to spend the whole day at the beach with your kids, mother in law, father in law, sister in law, brother in law and husband....TAKE YOUR CAMERA! We had an entire day of beach fun and I didn't get a single picture of it. 

The boys made an awesome sand castle. My sis, mom and I all hung out in the sun watching people beach. The water was  only 54 degrees so only Hunter was brave enough to play in it the whole day. Hailey built tons of sand Castles and even took a 2 hour nap inside our beach tent. Those of us that used the spray on sunscreen got interesting patches of sunburn. It was a GREAT day at Mission Beach.

#4.  If you have a daughter who is 3 and named Hailey, who doesn't like water much....do NOT sit in the splash zone at the Shamu show. She hates being splashed, she hates water on her head, she hates water that does anything she didn't initiate. However we decided to sit in row 8 at the night show. I thought maybe they wouldn't do as much splashing and we would be okay.....WRONG. Shamu got us good, Hailey screamed. Then we were Salty all the way back to the hotel in Alpine.

#5 When you drive to the beach for sunset pictures.... Bring a CHARGED battery for your camera...I got about 10 pictures before it died and the sun wasn't even at the best part yet.

#6   Our little family belongs in San Diego. We felt like we were leaving home to come back to our house. SOMEDAY CALI! reserve me a spot!!!!

I had more things I learned...but my brain is not allowing me to remember them at the moment. Maybe if I remember ill have a CONT. Story :)
