We are here!

We are still here. Just crazy busy these days. And busy in a for real way, not in a "we're just trying to relax, leave us alone" kind of way. In the midst of everything I realized I hadn't updated in forever again.

Summer has been SO hot here. For some reason, it hasn't bothered me as much as it has in past summers. We've been outside more and I've really enjoyed it. Got the tan to prove it too! Brendan has been playing coach pitch baseball at the Y again. And, just like last year, the Y just can't seem to get their act together. I tried to register Kaylee for soccer and was told they didn't have it for her age group. And yet, EVERY Saturday during Brendan's games there are 3 year olds behind us playing soccer. In the land of baseball... we have seen every age during the games from 3 - 10. So every week the rules seem to be different too. Sometimes they let them try hitting off the tee after striking out from pitches and sometimes they don't. Ridiculous. But I suppose that's what we get for wanting to play baseball in the summer in Houston. From now on, we'll be doing baseball in the spring. 

Brendan had his 6 year checkup (how can he be 6?!) and he is 44 lbs and 46 inches tall (almost 4 ft!). Everything else looks good too. I just knew that this visit would be the one where they tell me he's too skinny and I need to feed him more or give him one of those weight gain shakes. So when Brent offered to take him, I was relieved, lol. Then it turned out that I had nothing to worry about. He's right in the middle percentile for weight :-)

I turned 32 in June. Pretty soon my siblings and I will all be in our thirties. Time seems to be flying these days. We're trying to mend the wicked ways of our twenties and eat well. Some days/weeks it works but more often than not, it doesn't. It's hard to change, lol! We're actually considering joining the CrossFit craze. We're gonna try out a class after baseball gets over. We've gotta do something and at least the one we're going to try has a kid area for while you work out. Although some days I feel like I could bring them with their Kindles in tow to the gym I currently have a membership at (make that have, but don't use), and they'd be fine. 

Kaylee is her normal happy-go-lucky self. Her love of princesses, dresses, and all things pink is unwavering. She does at least let me dress her in jeans and other colors every once in a while. But if she had it her way, it would be dresses and sandals every day. 

That's all I can think of for now. Hope everyone is doing well!
