I'm practically a woman!

Hallee is such a bright spot in my life.  She is in that great phase where she can do almost everything on her own, but she is still in an adorable child phase.  She says the funniest things.  One day she said, "I'm practically a woman, I mean I wear a bra and deodorant."  We found some of Caitlyn's old  training bras, so Hallee likes to wear them sometimes.  I love wondering what hilarious thing Hallee will say next!

We all enjoyed getting in the pool every day.  It was so hot, but the pool still felt refreshing. 

This lollipop float was a big hit.

Hallee and Wyatt would swim twice a day sometimes.  

I love Matt and Lori's back yard.  I love the palm tress and the sound of the water fountain.  It is so beautiful and relaxing.

Cody and Elena had already started school, but they are all online for now.  They would do their school work in the morning and Cody had swimming in the afternoon.  Jonah had fun swimming with Wyatt when Cody was busy.

Mel made homemade Cafe Rio salads on Monday.  Wyatt helped her through out the day.  He loves to cook and she was so great to call him in whenever she worked on something.

Cody turned sixteen while we were there.  Lori put this money roll in his cake.  It was so fun.  We all loved watching him pull all of the money out.  

  I can't believe how quickly Cody has grown up!  He is such a great young man.  He is so kind, wise, funny, spiritual, inclusive and just an all around great guy.  I love that he and Jonah stay in touch so much and have so much fun together. 

Lori got supplies for the older kids to tie dye shirts.  This time they used bleach on black shirts.  They turned out great! 

Cousins make the best friends!

Matt and Lori made fried ice cream one night.  It was so good! 

We all played murder in the dark one night.  They turn off all the lights and turn on music. Whoever is it gets to pick the music and everyone hides.  Once you are found you can help find everyone else.  Hallee hid under the desk.  Elena hid under a couch cushion and we had to turn on the lights to find her. It was so much fun, the kids loved it!

Wyatt loved to put on his sun glasses and relax in a tube every day.

Hallee thought that was a great idea!

I liked to relax in a tube with a tube over my head to block the sun! 

Hallee and Wyatt were always anxious to get in the pool every day.  It was fun spending that time with them every day.
