Summer?

Well, it's officially June, but we have yet to see much summer weather. We had a couple of warm days, but it's now back in the 50's and 60's. We did get a new pool for our yard thanks to grandma. It's WAY fun for you girls and you love to play in it! We had our first big storm of the season last Saturday. We got a lot of hail, about quarter size. Both girls were standing at the window laughing as the hail hit the ground and bounced back up "like popcorn." We then saw the brightest rainbow and it was all good! Before the storm hit, mom and dad were wandering outside looking at the sky. Mali would come out and take mom's hand and tell me to come back inside before it rained! She doesn't like it when "Jesus bowls" or when "somebody takes her picture". Just like her mommy!

Keely had her last day of swimming lessons today at Foss swim school. She really is quite the little swimmer and loves the water. I hope she continues to love this as she grows. I also hope some of the excitment of lessons rubs off on Mali when it is her turn!

We recently traveled to Mitchell, SD again for my other cousin Kayla's wedding. Mali was the flower girl this time and did amazing, just like Keely did back in October. Mali was so proud of herself when she threw her petals and everyone was watching her. Good thing Keely did it first to show her how it was done. You girls both LOVE to dance at weddings and you learned the "cha cha slide" especially for this wedding. It is so fun to watch you!!

Unfortunately, your Uncle Brian moved back to SD and you both miss him like crazy. Mali asks me almost everyday when he is coming home. I always tell her that "Uncle Brian lives in SD now, not at grandma's anymore." One time, she banged her fist on the table and said, "HUMPH! Uncle Brian NEVER comes home!" He is her best buddy!

Daddy has also been gone a lot this week with work meetings and school. It's hard to have him gone so much and you girls certainly miss him when he is not home. He works so hard for our family and we are so SO proud of him and thankful for all he does.

I love you girls! You continue to make me smile and laugh and learn everyday! You are my sunshines!!!!
Love always,
Mom
