Summer Days

It's been so hot here that Jessi's even willing to get in the pool and have water poured on her. It's been 10 degrees above normal since spring until last week when it was finally in the mid 80s and felt SO much cooler. Grady and Maddox checking out baby Hadlee.
Doing what they do best, resting.

The Ultimate Runner was a couple of weekends ago and of course it was about 94*. This is a race that you do 1600m, 400m, 800m, 100m, and a 5K in one evening. It's a limited field since it's all on a track. Jeremy finished 11th which was great considering he had a two day old cold! Top 15 get awards so somewhere in there was the goal and he did it!
The best investment we could have purchased before the race was this water spraying fan. Maddox played with it for hours and it felt great on all of us. I even layed Hadlee out on the blanket and pointed the little fan at her to keep her cool.
Maddox's new thing is riding the back of the tricycle while Grady does all the work. He's been wanting her to do it for a month now and she was always afraid. Now she finally will do it, all the time, and Grady's about tired of it. He doesn't want to take her for a ride ever anymore! Then Maddox cries and cries.
Just a butterfly picture . . . Maddox wanted to chase it all over the flower garden.
My neighbor Amanda had a baby boy, Caleb, 3 weeks after Hadlee was born so here I am holding them both. We spend most of our mornings hanging out in Amanda's driveway because she's home with a 1 year old and sometimes Grady, who lives across the street, is home too. Amanda's got a garage full of toys that's always enticing to these kids. The neighbor next door to her will have a baby boy soon too, about another 3 weeks older than Caleb! We were all busy around August last year!
