For REAL!?! For Real Life!?!

A common question Emme asks me at least once a day is "For real mom? For real life?" She will ask this in response to just about everything. It makes me smile everytime.
Here is a list of things in our life that are for real... For real life...
*We moved to St. George. We have talked about it for a couple of years and finally did. I am loving so many things about it but have at moments gotten terribly homesick for family, friends and cooler weather.
*My sister, myself and Emme all went in search of a mattress warehouse, we could not find it anywhere and after searching for a long time finally went home. Now whenever we are in the car for longer than five minutes Emme asks "Mom are we lost again?" It's a good thing we didn't move anywhere that is too big.
*We have been swimming at least 10 times in the 2 weeks we have been in St. George
*Gracee can nearly swim (well doggy paddle) all by herself due to the shear fact that we go nearly everyday and it also helps that her 5 yr old Uncle is a fish in the water and she is trying to keep up with him.
*Emme was deathly afraid of swimming on her own with a life jacket but has warmed up to the water and can now go around the lazy river without touching anyone just swimming with the help of her life jacket.
*Lucie LOVES the water. She floats around and around and loves to go on the slides.
*Emme tried the hydro tube with Ruffin and LOVED it.
*I can swim with my head under the water. It's true I have never been a good swimmer and would always have to plug my nose. I have gotten it down though and even feel comfortable opening my eyes under water.
*I am really trying to get better at swimming because I am going to train for a triathalon. (I am starting out with a small triathalon and am hoping that a certain COUSiN and SiSTER will join me:)... Think about it!
*Gracee doesn't mind water getting in her eyes anymore (this has been a big issue for her for years) She even likes to shower before and after getting in the swimming pool.
*Gracee started kindergarten last month (I definitely need to journal about that soon!)
*I cried when I left Gracee at Kindergarten and I cried when I left Rexburg (I have lived there for the past 10 years, I was comfortable there but am excited for a new place and new adventure.)
*We got a library card and we were excited to learn we can visit SEVEN libraries and check books and take back books to any of them. So far we have visited 2.
*We have been to story time 3 times. We live a mile from one of the libraries and they have story time four times a week my girls love it!
*We have eaten way too many popsicles lately:)
*I tried zumba for the first time on Saturday and I loved it, I will definitely be going once a week.
*Gracee can count to 100 all by herself.
*Emme can write her name and so she does on any piece of paper she can find.
*Lucie is a good little talker and will repeat or try to repeat just about any word I say. She now says Gracee and Emme and her version is very cute. Both Gracee and Emme Love it when she calls them by name.
*Our life has been crazy and busy the last couple of weeks but I do feel SO grateful for it all.
*We are HAPPY!
