Cowgirls and Such

My mom gave Adelaide these cowboy boots for her birthday, and they are just about the right size for her, so I keep them in her shoe drawer. Well, Adelaide has discovered them and LOVES them! She brings them to Daniel and I all the time to put on her. Then she runs around the house giggling and squealing. It is still too warm for her to wear them out and about and they are still a little big, so she gets her fill wearing them around the house. I guess all my cowboy boot wearing while she was in the womb rubbed off on her. My boots were the only shoes I could fit my fat feet into when I was nearing the end of my pregnancy with her.

Tristan and Alicia are well into school now. They have started getting homework, so that keeps them pretty busy after school. Tristan is pretty good at utilizing his time in school to get his work done, so that is nice for him. Alicia's work is sent home in a packet on Monday's and isn't due until Friday, so it is nice that we can pace ourselves as we'd like. They both have soccer practice on Monday evenings at the same time, so that works out nicely. I think by the spring Tristan will be ready to play more competitively and Alicia wants to try doing gymnastics, so we'll be staying busy!

It is very hot here and we are under water restrictions because of the drought, so our garden has pretty much died. We still get tomatoes, but it is too hot to even go out and harvest them. Adelaide and I spend a lot of mornings at the pool to keep from getting overheated. I can't wait until it cools off a little bit so we can do more things outdoors.
