This past month has gone by so fast. It is summer in Texas. Hot and humid. I joined the gym for the summer. The kids love playing at the kids corner a few times a week. Once a week we also go to bible study so they get to play with some friends. We are taking swim lessons at the house once a week. Some weeks they are great and others they cry for the entire lesson:( They are both constantly changing and making us smile.
Alexis is starting to potty train and we are about 80% there. She is such a lawyer. She is supposed to get one mini marshmallow if she uses the potty. She has negotiated it to three:) She loves playing "workout" and making up songs. She leads us all in "Happy Birthday" and wants us to clap. She even gets Cole to clap his hands. She is a leader for sure. When we read to her before bedtime she started saying all the animals in one of her books was "dog poop" ???? No idea where she got this from and it was a bit annoying but she is finally almost over it.
Cole is a toddler. He is crawling up the stairs any chance he can get. He is also climbing up on the kids table and chairs. Can't let him out of your sight for a second. He is eating with a spoon. He loves to dance. If you put on music he just starts dancing.
Here are some pictures from the last month:
Alexis loves Thomas the Train. She also loves to get dressed herself. Love this outfit.

She doesn't want to wear underwear...so she put them on her head
Alexis has learned how to access the camera on our phone and take a selfie. This is one of a hundred:)

Love this outfit on him. From Aunt Pat.
I almost started crying when I picked Cole up from childcare at church and he was sitting at the table. Where is my baby?
Cole loves the vacuum. He chases after it and cries if I don't let him push the button
