Summer is getting Hot in AZ

It is HOT in AZ!! The weeks are averaging 110 but it definitely feels more like 115 at all hours. All of us are coping with lots of swimming and air conditioned playdates. Austn is growing like crazy and is getting baptised next month and we will have family here to celebrate! A great weekend ahead for the 4th of July wish we could share it with all yall.

Braydon LOVES swimming! Not swimming classes (he refused to do those) but in our pool he is a little fish. His favorite thing as of late is jumping off the sides and going all the way under. He is getting really good at holding his breath but maintains little interest in getting rid of his vest. He got new cars from the new Cars movie (thanks Grammie and Grammpie) and has been playing with them non stop! He know all the words to the first movie and talks through line after line while having the characters lined up in front of him. It is amazing how much fun he has and how many hours he can occupy with these thing! It is also really neat to watch

Caleb....Cowboy Cal as dubbed by Mame. This weeks outfit has been HILARIOUS! Cowboy hat, Mardi Gras beads, shirt, no pants, diaper and size 12 boots (the new ones are still not in). I think it is the beads that really put it over the edge. Rob and I sat and laughed at him for hours this weekend. He enjoys being a cowboy soooo much! We got a cowboy book that talks about all the cowboy clothes and horse clothes (chaps, spurs, saddle, stir up, etc.) that is allllll he wants to read! I love that he loves horses so much but I am secretly hoping he grows out of it before he gets too big because I cant afford a horse!

Austin ate food for the first time today! He loved it! Braydon and Caleb both spit out their first feedings and cried after just a few bites but with Austin there was no crying and he ate the whole bowl! Then he slept for four hours. Guess whos feedings are going to be saved for right before bed? Austin is getting chunky and staying soooo cute!! Dont worry I kiss him enough for all of you!

Miss you all.

Hey Fam!

I have no idea what is going on with the blog site (or the user of the site) but I can not seem to log in anymore. Today I had to go through the process of opening a new account to get back into this one???? Who knows but again I apologize about the lack of info and blogs.

Great, Good and Wonderful is how I would describe the Doane house these days. No complaints from anyone just adorable stories:

1. Three days into a trip away with Rob Braydon turns to my mom and says "hey where is Mom and Dad?", you can tell how much we matter when Mame is in town :)

2. Caleb can no longer stand the small cowboy boots so he has found B's size 12 boots (B only wears a size 10 shoe to give you and idea of size) but Caleb shuffles around in these things everyday and has about 3 fits a day because they keep falling off and he gets so frustrated. (new boots are in the mail)

3. Braydon is asserting his ability to make decisions more and more. Today he wanted to walk around in his undies only. I tell him that he has to put shorts on cause we have workers at the house. He does not want to so I tell him to put shorts on or he has to stay in his room.....So he stayed in his room for close to two hours.

4. Caleb wore his bike helmet for hours yesterday, it was 113 degrees outside, when he took it off it looked like he had just gotten out of the shower! Guess what is back on his head today???? Yep...he has a thing for odd clothing.

5. Austin is smiling all the time and there is a suspicion that he may have a dimple!

That is quick and simple. More to come soon.
