We love Arizona this time of year, the weather is warm (100 plus) but it's great! This week Brian has been on nights and so our schedule was thrown off a little, but it has been great to have him around more during the day to help out with Lizzie. Lizzie loves her Dad and he is awesome at teaching her new things. I find since I am with her everyday we kind of get into a rut, but Brian loves to test her learning abilities and it's fun to see how much a little kid can actually learn. This week he has been teaching her to read, actually it's just sight recognition but she is doing excellent. I haven't gotten it on video yet but it's fun, she picks out what word she wants to learn and he puts it on a flash card and whenever she goes through her cards she gets a sticker after. She is up to around 10ish in just a week.
Lizzie's new obsession lately has been the hose, who knew that a hose could be so fun. Every day we have to go out back and squirt off the patio, we make foot prints, rainbows, give river a bath and multiple drinks and anything else she can come up with.
Charlie is a good baby and she made it through her first time at church today. She was excellent and slept through most of it, we had to go out more times for Lizzie than Charlie. I have a feeling that will change soon, but for now it is nice.
P.S. Thanks Jenny for the cute dress Charlie was the most fashionable baby there!
Just hanging out
Lizzie and River enjoying a little sprinkle
Lizzie is starting to pick out her own wardrobe, I have been giving her options and letting her pick, the other day she decided she wanted to wear her boots with shorts. I think Lizzie and Alex (my sister she used to wear cowboy boots with her dresses) are kindred spirits.

Oh! So, so cute! Lizzie is getting so big! We can't wait to see you guys, and new little charlie. We love you!
Both your kiddos are so cute. Anna and Lizzie sound so similar - Anna always wants to wear boots with her clothes, and squirts herself repeatedly with the hose on a daily basis. We are also teaching her how to read and it only reinforces to me how complicated and weird the English language is. LOL.
Oh what fun it is to be little and be entertained by a hose. We can't wait to play with you all soon and meet baby Charlie! Those two girls are soooo darling :)
Niki you're amazing. Thank you for informing me about Wes and Danae. Also im glad to see Lizzie in the outfit i got her, i hope she enjoys it. Im excited to see you! I was thinking we really need a girls outing, and more of an adventure this time. Not just food.
