Yep, nothing much is happening out here in Texas other than the heat and more heat! Rick has been home with us for the last few weeks while he is on summer break. We have done a lot of cleaning, a lot of errands, and a lot of tag teaming Bella. There is not much to do out here when it is BlAzInG hOt!!! Today we did attempt the zoo. Bella really loves to be around animals and we thought that if we went early in the morning that we could miss the heat and crowds. We were wrong. It was half price Wednesday and school is still out for all of the kids. Not to mention that the heat was beating down on us and the animals were seeking shelter and we could not see them. Luckily, the white tiger did come out and play with Bella and she laughed every time it went by (see attached video). She also really enjoyed the bird area where she got to hold out a seed stick for the birds to come and eat off of it. Good Times!
Bella also had her 15 month check even though she is 16 months tomorrow. The pediatrician put it so politely when he said that "Bella is spirited and her spirit can't be harnessed". Isn't that the truth??!! He did give us some helpful pointers on how to try to get her tantrums under control, which was great. She also is sporting the 90th percentile for height and head! She definitely has her dad's height and for sure her mother's big head!
Nothing much is happening here other than Rick is now in heaven because he found a soccer league that doesn't play on Sunday's and I am still getting up at the crack of dawn to go running. The 1/2 marathon is now 6 weeks away! That should be comical and a good day for the Dallas EMT's :)!
Hope you all are well!

Dearest Kelly, don't worry I have not abandoned you. One missed morning run and one unresponded text is no reason to be alarmed. Mostly it just means I have lots of stories to catch you up on! Looks like you had a good time at the zoo! Glad you and Rick are getting lots of quality time together! :)
How fun to have some time with Rick while he is out of school...even if you can't go anywhere because of the heat. Bella is so cute. Good luck with your 1/2 marathon.
Not to rub it in or anything, but I was really happy to be leaving Dallas right before the scorching summer!! lol Cute Bella! She is a little spunk and I love it!! So what do you mean that "it looks like" you are coming here? Did Rick find a practice or something?? That would make me so happy! I will cross my fingers for us!!!! :)
Bella is so cute...as always! Good luck training for your marathon. I wish I could be there to cheer you on!
That is the one thing I don't miss about Texas...the HEAT! Bella is too cute. I love her shades! Good luck with the half marathon. That's awesome!
Cute little Bella! Sounds like you are having fun while Rick is home. Good luck with the 1/2 marathon, I still can't believe you are going to do that! You rock!! Hurry and get back here so I have a "running" buddy, if that's what you call us!!
