Otter Pop Season Begins, which means it's going to start getting HOT very soon!

The last two weekends we have been spoiled and Brandon's gotten off early on Friday, so we've done a lot of playing with daddy!  

General Conference weekend, Brandon and Rachel kept the tradition alive and slept out back (this time on the trampoline) and made it until midnight and decided they'd sleep better on their own beds.  Brandon and I are not big cuddlers during the night; in fact, we enjoy our separate sides of our king size bed and it's a hard-fast rule not to touch the other person.  Rachel is a huge cuddler (seriously? where'd she come from?)!  On the tramp, Brandon kept trying to inch away from Rachel and she kept scooting closer to him in her sleep.  It makes me giggle just thinking about it!  

We also went swimming at our favorite public pool in Chandler, went on walks, played in the sprinklers and ate lots of otter pops!

I also took Bubba to his 6 month appointment and he is over 21 pounds!  He's doing a great job eating his solid foods and is sitting up on his own now.  He seems a bit bashful/shy to strangers sometimes - either that or he's giving his infamous "deer in the headlights" wide-eyed look, but his double-chin smile lights up the room!  His favorites right now are his jumper, taking a bath, and just being outside.  His big sister is the one that makes him laugh the hardest - I know I've said this before, but he just adores her.  Watching them together has been one of the most rewarding parts of being a mom of two.  Remind me that I said this when they are ages 7 & 9, ok?!  :)

She's into dress ups these days and I never know what it's going to be next.

I liked their opposite expressions and that Rachel's in the baby chair and Drew's sitting up like a big boy.

The last few weeks have been hot enough to go swimming and play in the sprinklers!

So sweet!

We love otter pops at our house - especially the big fat ones from Costco

Another General Conference Campout - this time on the trampoline!
