Lily is a crazy kid!

Today it finally rained. I think it's been like 5 or 6 months at least since it rained last. It's crazy how much you miss having "bad" weather when you only ever see blue skies, I even just miss cloudy days.

Jared has been working on our yard most of this last week. It was also super hot this week, like 110, so he went out at dusk to work when it was a bit cooler. Lily went out with him every night, too, and would play in the dirt and get thoroughly filthy before her bath. It was fun to see a cute little girl in a pretty little dress climbing up mounds of dirt and sliding down and loving it. One night Jared turned on the hose, and Lily loved it.

Before you all complain in your comments, I realize there are no pictures of Jack. I feel bad about this because he has started smiling it up ALL the time now. Every time you look at him, he's looking back with a huge goofy grin, it's great. I will make it a point to get tons of pictures and video of him before the next post. Jared will also be posting pics of our finished back yard soon, and we're excited because our friends Julieanne and Tyrus are coming to visit us from Newport Beach this weekend, woo hoo! So look forward to all of that in the coming weeks.

Here are some wacky pictures. We never have soda, so when we do, it's a big deal, she even loved the box. This is a soda pope hat, a sequel to the original, yogurt box pope hat.) Also, Lily loves corn, she'll eat to ears of corn at a time, crazy kid. I'm not going to say anything about the diapers the day after.

This picture is Lily's book train. She laid out some of her books, pushed them and then named it the book train and said "Choo choo". This is a video that I tried to get of Jack, because he woke up and when I came in he was laughing and smiling at the pictures on his crib bumpers. When I got out the camera, Lily decided that she was the star of the video.
