Finally some cool air!!

Since our first summer in this house, we have always struggled with cooling down the living area and kitchen! We have bought small fans to put all over the house in hopes of cooling it down. That worked very little and we still had to turn the AC down just to survive in the heat of the summer. A couple of weeks ago I was looking online at Home Depot and found some really good deals on ceiling fans. We ended up getting one for the kitchen and one for the living room. The one that I originally bought for the living room had some technical difficulties so, Brent returned it and got a really fancy 60 inch fan!! I was quite impressed. It goes great with our decor and is awesome at putting out some great air flow!! We have had the AC on 79 most of today and it happens to be one of the hottest days of the year so far. I think we topped out at 98 degrees! With both fans going, Hannah has told me several times already that she is cold!!! YEA! Maybe we will survive in 09's heat!! Brent and Robert had a fantastic time putting both fans up!! We really appreciate all of Robert's help!! He is always up for helping out on all of that stuff!! I took a couple of pics of the fans to show how great they are! They probably look better in person but, you get the idea!

Yep, that's my husband....always the funny guy!!

Thanks to Lindley and Stephanie, we now have an abundance of little hot wheels cars in our house. Brent broke out the box a couple of days ago to take a trip back in time. It was Hannah's day at school so Jake was here to look on to all of Daddy's treasures. He got out this basket of cars,trucks, and trains and Jake was suddenly in heaven. He has been playing with them for hours upon hours since they made their way out of the box. I took these today while he was playing with them!! So cool that he gets to play with his Daddy's old cars!!

A little behind!

Well, the title speaks for itself. Yes, I haven't posted in a while. The kids had all of last week off and Brent was not around for most of it. It was a little hard to find things to keep the kids busy and entertained for 12 hours out of the day. Thankfully, we were able to spend most of the week at the park and the gym. They were okay with that! This week they both started their new class schedule. Hannah is in pre-K on Monday and Wednesdays from 9-2 p.m. and Jake is in the 3yr old class on Tuesday and Thursdays from 9-2 p.m. It was a little bit of an adjustment switching days and packing lunches for both but, all in all it has been great. It has been so nice to have Jake in class a couple of hours longer than normal. It gives me some great one on one time with Hannah. I have been dropping off and then coming home to walk with each one of them. We then get to visit the park for a little while! Today was Hannah's day at school and also her tumbling lesson. Since Jake was normally in school on Wednesday's it always worked out for me to watch her without chasing him every which way. Today was a different story. He was everywhere and I didn't get to watch her. Thankfully, they have another class that I switched her to that coincides with Jake's day at school. Next week will be a little better, I'm sure.

A couple of weeks ago we attended the graduation ceremony for the pre-k kids. Hannah's class was part of the ceremony even though they weren't graduating. They gave us a peek of what they worked on this year. It was really cute watching her up on stage singing songs. She did so good and looked so grown up. I took a couple of pictures to share!

And for you great grandparents up in Arkansas...I know we don't get to see you as much as we would like but, that doesn't mean that Jake doesn't remember who you are. I took this after he picked it up and said very clearly "Grandma and Pop-Pop!!!" Seriously....too gosh darn cute!!!
