It's been toooooo long

So sorry for the gap in posts. It has been getting busy around here since the summer started. Not busy with tasks, per say, just busy livin'.

Kevin's parents and two nephews came to visit last week, and boy, it was busy, and tiresome, but everybody had a good time....Macy included. We went to the zoo, and the pool, and Estes Park. Macy was exhausted and slept well, but we had fun. Otherwise, it has been time spent at the pool, or the lake. Macy loves spending time outside and absolutely loves the water. She was leery at first, but once she got in the water, she is fearless, as usual. Which only means, mama has to have more eyes in the back of her head. *Sigh*

Macy is growing each day it seems. Her hair is getting thicker, her laughs are getting louder, and her vocabulary grows by the week. She routinely says 7-8 word sentences, and repeats most everything you say (all the more reasons to "watch what we say"). Here are a few new pictures. Included are her 18 month pictures. I know....you're thinking, "but Macy is almost 20 months". Yeah, that would be her mamas fault. So, I took them myself this time, and it was exhausting. Kevin and I chased her around the park until she just wouldn't go anymore. There aren't a ton of good ones, but at least a snapshot of her sweet smile. Enjoy.

To stay cool in the heat at the Zoo, Macy was fanning, and spraying, while riding on daddy's shoulders

Summer!!!

We bought a BIG lady bug from Hobby Lobby, and it moves all around the flower gardens. Sometimes Macy even wears it like a hat.
Last Sunday, she was a little princess at church. (well at least she looked like one).

Summer is finally here in Colorado. We've had the rainiest May. It's in the record books. So, now everything is green and blooming, which is wonderful. Now, it's time for the warm weather. Yesterday was really our first summer day....and today is 90 degrees. That means it's 82 degrees in my house. I hate to turn on the A/C this early, because I love to have the windows open the the fresh breeze blowing in, but it is stifling in Macy's room. It took her over an hour to fall asleep this afternoon.
Here are some of her activities over the past couple of weeks.

Kevin has been building a playset/swingset for Macy. It is coming along quite nicely. We need swings and some sort of ladder, and she'll be set. Then a BIG sandbox around the whole thing.

Giving Diesel a much needed drink.
I love these ponies.
Snuggling in to Diesel before bed.
Helping mama water the flowers. Macy loves to help and she LOVES the water. Time for the pool. I hope she likes it.
