Lazy Days of Summer.

My blog has gone through a little bit of neglect this summer - not that summer is even over, but with school starting up for everyone around here...it seems like it's definitely winding down.

Our summer has been full of adventures.  It seems like we've had something planned every weekend, and we've barely been home long enough to catch our breath and do laundry.  The summer has been full of great weather, with a few weeks here and there of super hot, but luckily we've been sticking close to the high 80s for the most part...which if fine by me...I think my heat tolerance tops out at 90...after that I don't like to be outside anymore.  Our yard is looking great, although some really hot weather has dried out a few spots of grass.  We got some new neighbors to the north...so we actually have to shut the shades at night...

We have been tuned into some great TV this summer.  One of our favorites is "the Next Food Network Star", which is about some armature cooks trying to get their own show on Food Network.  It's down to the final 3, and our favorite is Aartie!  We've also been watching Top Shot on the History Channel...where it's basically a shooting competition, and the winner gets $100,000.  Our favorite is Pete...he's hilarious.  We've also been watching Californication on DVD from Netflix.  Here's a little disclaimer:  The show is rude, obnoxious, and filthy in every sense of the word...so DO NOT take this as a recommendation to watch it...but I guess we kinda like the obnoxiousness of it and find it hilarious...of course it's something we can only watch well AFTER baby girl has gone to bed....I say to hubby "I'm ready to watch some filth now" and we pop in the dvd!  There's a reason it's shown on Showtime.  Yow!

Baby girl is growing up so quickly, and is so eager to learn!  When we get home from school we read books - one of which is a book that has buttons for apple, dog, shoes, cat...and she makes every attempt to say each of them when I point to the pictures...so cute.  She says "eeeeooooowww" when we ask her what the cat says.  Just the other night we were counting the oranges that the hungry caterpillar had eaten and I swear she said "ree" when we got to 3!!  She is saying lots of words and has started walking a ton over the weekend!  Luckily she still loves to be packed around and held by mama.

Our other exciting news is that a cousin of mine who is very near and dear to me is moving back to Colorado with her husband and newborn baby!  They will be here in 2 weeks!  I'm thrilled!

So that's that for a little update...I will try to put a little update about the winner of the shows that we are watching...I think they end next week.  Hope your summer has been a great one too!
