Summer fun and a special trip

Still catching up over the last three weeks. Haley went on a very special trip with Grandma Jean to Bandera, TX for an entire week. This was the longest she has ever been away and did great. She was able to ride ponies, play at the water park, go on hay rides and sing songs by the campfire. Grandma and Haley had great bonding time. While Matt and I missed her terribly, we were able to give Jackson some much needed one on one time.

Jackson was so cute trying to figure out where his "Sissy" went. Since Grandma had picked Haley up from school Jackson was a little confused when he got home that day. He immediately asked for Sissy and went straight upstairs saying, "Sissy night night". He checked her bed then lifted his arms saying "Where Sissy"? He was very sad but we explained Haley was with Grandma and he was able to talk to her on the phone a couple of times. We had a great time spoiling Jackson but were ready for Haley to come home!!

When she finally made it home Jackson went running to her and Grandma and she was equally happy to see Jackson (and us). Our family was complete again. Jackson then proceeded to climb in Grandma's car as if to say, my turn. Haley told us all about her trip and I don't think she stopped talking for 2 days. What a fun time she had.

Jackson had fun playing in the shower while she was gone. What a big boy taking a shower all by himself.

Looking more like a toddler and less like a baby.

We are really liking the fact we bought a house with a pool especially since this summer has been so hot. Haley, Jackson and Matt are FISH! They would swim every hour of every day if I let them. Haley is a very good swimmer. Jackson is quickly learning how to swim too. I'm guessing he will be swimming by next summer, similar to how quick Haley learned.

Sharing the float one evening after school.

Here is Haley doing her jump then flip. She wants to flip off the board but we're not letting her yet!

Here is how we wear Jackson out before bedtime. He will do this over and over again. He has even ventured out a little farther and swam back. He hasn't figure out how to take a breath then swim more so we have to make sure he isn't under the water too long.
