Cyri's pearly whites

Considering how strong willed she is about everything else in her life we thought she wouldput up a real stink when it came to brushing her teeth but she was quite patient and even seemed to enjoy it. As you will see in the video she even wanted to do it again herself and she liked her toothbrush so much that she carried it around for a while as shown in exhibit #4.

"I can only take so much people!"

Exhibit #4-"Gots all I need-my daddy and my toothbrush!"

Trinity's first Activities Day talent show

Trinity was so nervous to perform but she had been practicing for over a month so I knew she would do great! Trinity was extra happy that day because she didn't know if daddy would be able to make it home on time from work but he did. We were trully so proud of her. I know most of this stuff is probably repeat from Facebook but our blog is kinda my journal so here it is again.

Cyri part two

Don't let the last post fool you into thinking she's all naughty and no sass. She got a hold of Trinity's church heels and knew exactly what to do with them and then she proceeds to bring me the hair curlers to put in her hair. What can I say, I've trained them well.

It's hilarious that she even knows where her toes go in the heel!

What to do with this one?

Since Andrew is always blaming me for their girly ways I'll blame him for all this naughty-ness! I just don't know what goes through her head. If this child is ever pausing for a moment it's just cause she's figuring out what to break next or climb on. I know the grandma's are gasping in fear and horror but this is really a daily occurance for us. Thankfully she's hasn't fallen and bonked her head or injured herself....Yet! I'm just waiting for the day I hear that cry of death and make our first ER visit. We will be sure to document that too.

Looking for the right opportunity to make a soft jail break.

More rock climbing

Free, cheap family fun!

"Success!" she even strikes a pose at the top.

Daddy reassuring Anaiya that she'll be okay and he won't let her fall.

Now that she's back on the ground she's happy.

"What the heck did I sign up for?"

Pool time!!!

You will probably see many more pictures of us at the pool with how hot it's getting. Before the kids and I go anywhere I have to go start the car up and blast the air conditioner for at least 5 minutes so the leather seats cool down and so that it's not 106! It's so hot that sometimes the pool water even feels warm and muggy---which sucks!
Trinity is a pro at swimming, last year in Hawaii she completed all 5 levels of swimming classes and passed the diving board test. This is thanks to daddy. So many people wanted to sign up for swimming classes that even though sign up didn't start till 8 am he was there by 5:30 and he was still the 3rd in line! Crazy. Andrew is passionate about the kids learning how to swim so he does everything in his power to make sure it happens.
Anaiya has also learned to swim with out floaties too so she will be starting swim lessons next month. Little Cyri is our water baby, she's quite the pro with the floaties on giving her a false sense of her true skills (or lack of) so sometimes we take the floaties off and she tries to push away from us so she can swim by herself.

Camping at Hoochie Creek in Georgia

During Memorial Weekend we decided to take the girls camping. Daddy was sure to remind us that by Wheeler Men standards this was "sissy stuff." I have to admit, it was pretty comfortable though. We had air condition, shower, fridge and stove and comfy mattresses to sleep on. Other than the sweltering heat and mosquitos we had a good time except for the fishing trip. Daddy swore to never take us fishing again but the girls were only miserable because of the weather. Our little boat didn't have any cover to keep the girls cool in the 100 degree noon day sun plus we didn't catch a thing.
Andrew even went as far as buying live minnows for bait so as to increase our chances of success but still nothing. Not even a tiny bite! Then after an hour of stuggling with lost bobbins, Cyri almost falling into the water a few times, all the snacks and drinks gone-and still no fish, we called it a day. As we are pulling up to the shore we see two old women sitting on the bank with a bucket full of fish they had just caught with fake bait!!!! Argh! I don't know when my dear husband will give up fishing and admit defeat.

My favorite picture of our girls.

Cyri loved this swing. She wanted to be in it all the time.

All cheese!
