Summer Insanity
I am sorry I have been so absent this summer. We have just been busy busy. With our trip to New York, Danny's return, Landon's vacation time, the annual beach house trip, I just haven't had the time to think up fun and creative things to talk about. I am sure when the school year starts up again, and in California that means not until mid September, things will be a little bit back to normal. I am bummed because without a camera I just feel like blogging is pointless! I am hoping to figure out a way to get a new camera, but for now I guess our video camera will have to work overtime. I took some fun movies at the beach house so I will have Landon show me how to put those up for you.
We have had such a fun summer! My tan is looking great. We live in such an amazing place, it is totally summer town around here. I love it. I hope you have all enjoyed this sunny season as well.

Rollin' Along
This is a picture from a year ago. Right before Lucy turned 1. I cannot believe how the time has flown by. I miss my babies already, and they aren't even grown up yet!
I though I would clarify why it is that my girls have the same birthday. Lucy was in fact induced. I chose that day. The doctor could do it that day or 3 days later and I was ready! Selfish, maybe. But I don't regret it one bit. Hopefully someday they will enjoy the fact that they have a day that is special for the two of them. I hope that it may bring them closer. Wishful thinking? I guess we shall wait and see.
Today the girls had their 4 and 2 year doctor appointments. It was so easy because the doctor checked Jolie's eyes first, then Lucy's. Then Jolie's ears, then Lucy's. You get the picture. Otherwise Lucy would have thrown a fit. It was much better for her to see Jolie do it first. She was much more trusting of the doctor that way. Then when shot time came and Jolie didn't even blink (she never does) Lucy also didn't cry. I was so proud of them!
We are definitely in a groove these days. Things are pretty easy. I think it might be time to shake things up again. We'll see.
P.S. Did I mention my baby brother is home from Zimbabwe? Hooray! I will get some pictures of him up but I find myself camera-less again. I just can't be trusted with them!

Happy Birthday!
It is the girls' birthday today. Jolie is 4 and Lucy is 2. Yes, in case you didn't already know they have the same birthday!
During the summer every Tuesday is swim day at my Grandma's house so today we will be having a little party for the girls there. I made strawberry cupcakes with marshmallow frosting, Jolie's fave. And for dinner I will be making her favorite, spaghetti and meatballs.
This is such a special day, not only for my babies but for me! Twice this day has brought amazing blessings into my life. I am so grateful for my girlies.
I love you Jolie and Lucy! Thanks for all of the happiness and pure fun that you give me everyday. I hope you have a special day today.

Brutality
Lucy's new thrill in life is to torture and kill all insects she comes across. The girls have been finding a caterpillars in our back yard recently. Jolie always stays a safe distance away from them and enjoys watching them inch along. But not Lucy. She delights in stepping on them, squishing them with her fingers, and even burying them alive!
The other day we found a spider hanging on its' web in the garage. Lucy spent 20 minutes blowing as hard as she could so the spider would spin really fast. The poor thing didn't move after that that I could tell. Oh well!
I don't know where all of this aggression comes from. Every ant she meets is definitely going to be stepped on. And when Jolie chases the butterflies in the yard Lucy throws things at them. It is so silly. It must just be her way of learning about the world. Again, how did these girls get so different?

I finally...
finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! Loved loved loved it! I even cried during one very sentimental part. Wow. I just want to read it again. So great. I wasn't disappointed at all. J.K. Rowling rocks! What did you think?

Catch Phrase
Jolie just might be the silliest girl in the world. She pays such close attention to those around her. She has been the catch phrase queen lately. As we were lounging around our little pool today, Jolie plopped herself down on a beach chair and said, "Ah this is the life!" Where does she get these things? Why TV of course!
She has also been known to say, "You are exactly right."
And yesterday she told me that going to the beach was, "a wonderful dream come true."
Thanks to Dora the Explorer she counts in Spanish as often as English. And she uses the Spanish words for the different colors instead of the English words a lot of the time.
Perhaps the best of all is her prayers. She takes phrases she hears at church and puts them in her prayers. She doesn't even know what they mean, and they usually are not meant for prayers. She says stuff like, "Jesus prepared the way..." And "I will be baptized."
I love her so much! It is so fun to be her mom. I just wish I was better at keeping a straight face! I need to work on that. I don't want her becoming self conscience any time soon and stop this adorable habit.

Sister Sister
Okay, I know I have said this before, but my girls love each other so much. This is a totally random example but for some reason I just thought this was too funny.
So whenever Jolie's nail tears she has to stop whatever she is doing and pick at it until it is straight again. Even if she notices it right when we are in the middle of the street she won't move until it is taken care of. I just consider this another example of her OCD.
Yesterday Jolie noticed that Lucy's nail was tearing a bit. She grabbed her sister's hand and wouldn't let go for several minutes until she had fixed it.
Not only that but Lucy just sat there and let her do what she wanted for as long as she wanted.
I just love how much they need each other. I never knew this before Lucy came but there is really no better feeling than watching your children become great friends.
Being a mom is the best! I am so glad Lucy was a girl.
