Swinging

Alex: Hey Jenna, check out how high I can swing!
Me: I see you.
Alex: Do you see how high I'm going. I'm in the tree.
Me: It sounds like you're a little kid and you're trying to show off a new trick to me.
(Martin and Mitchell start laughing in agreement. Aubrey starts laughing because she likes to join in on all laughter.)
Alex: But I am going really high right.
Me: Yeah. It looks like you're sitting on the branches.
Alex: (confidentally) That's how I thought it was going to look from your angle.

*for those of you unclear as to who Alex is, he is the almost 24 year old in the center

Instaweek (and a half) 3

I think it's safe to sum the the three photos above by saying that Aubrey is adorable. Even with a terrible cut on her nose from a fall in the driveway....she's still the cutest girl I know.

We've been really into grilling as the weather has been so gorgeous. I think we grilled everyday last week which is definitely ok with me.

Swinging before lunch.

Look at all those hungry calves ready for their dinner.

I Just Keep Getting Cooler...

The other day Aubrey and I were playing in my mom's driveway. Aubrey was running around in circles and I was throwing balls at this basketball hoop. I was not bothered by the fact that it is intended for toddlers. I was trying to reach a world record for greatest number of baskets in a row.

I got to 18.

And just to give you a little perspective. This is where I was sitting.

While I was absorbed in this major feat Aubrey showed off her new skills too. She can climb the steps of the slide and slide down all by herself!

Lucky for me, I can live vicariously through my child's accomplishments instead of highlighting my own athletic abilities.
