We have been have BEAUTIFUL weather lately! It has been sunny and warm the past couple of weeks with a day or two of clouds and rain. When I say warm, I'm talking high 50's to low 60's. That's summer weather for us! :) That's comparable to high 70's to low 80's for Texas weather.....seriously. The moods of people have changed....the sun is out until 10:30 or so, people are out and about running, walking, playing, cleaning yards, etc.
We've been taking advantage of the weather by going on walks, cleaning the yards, and playing at the parks. The was last Saturday at a playground area. Notice the cool shades Preston is sporting!
Uncle Craig and Aunt Becca met us at the park. Uncle Craig brought a bat and ball to teach Preston how to hit. He started getting the hang of it after lots of practicing and a small melt down of frustration. I kept telling Preston is was bad pitching from Uncle Craig! :)
My mom mailed a purse to Payton several months ago. I finally got some great pictures of her carrying her purse. She LOVES it! She carries it all over the house! She always loops it on her arm and generally holds her palm up so it won't fall off.
We put things in her purse for her to take out, but I have never seen HER put anything in her purse....until last weekend. I was upstairs changing clothes in my room and Payton crawled up the stairs to find me. My cell phone was laying on one of the steps with my car keys. I few minutes later, I hear my cell phone ringing. I thought, "Hum, that sounds like it's in here, but my phone is on the steps." I listened closer and realized my phone was actually ringing in my room. I looked down to see Payton, with her purse on her arm, walking in my room. Low and behold, there was my phone....in the purse! She was so proud of herself! Thank goodness it rang or I would have been looking forever!
Maggie, see how happy this purse makes her?
Although summer weather has hit (and very early this year), it hasn't stopped our excitement of heading "to the lower 48" in a couple of weeks (yes, people in Alaska actually refer to the other states as the Lower 48)! We will be in Texas for two weeks and then hit Disneyland for a week on the way home. We can't wait to see Maggie and Peepaw and some good friends! It can't come soon enough....
