Summer ending.

The summer is winding down and we seem to be cramming every last bit of fun we can in!

The kiddos loved camping. It was great for us too. Hubby finally got the wallpaper off Roo's walls. Looks like we will paint very soon. I'm excited for the kid. He's had to look at that awful stuff since he was born. He won't know what to think of the red walls with Lighting McQueen decals!

One of our favorite things to do was swim at Auntie Sherri's pool. Both the kiddos got comfortable in the water. It was a nice way to beat the heat. Here we are in what is to be our final day at the pool. We are looking forward to our Fair trip and that final school clothes shop!

We're Swimming.

We have been spending some quality time over at Auntie Sherri's house where there is a pool. In just a few short weeks I've got the kids jumping in and swimming in their swim jackets. Butter would often only go in with the jacket, a fish ring AND a noodle. That's right triple protection. She is still a bit hesitant to jump in completely. (meaning going under the water) but we'll get there.

Roo on the other hand got out to have a snack. and went back in forgetting that he didn't have his swim jacket on and was struggling to keep above the water. Good thing Daddy was right there to help him! After a few coughs he put on his jacket and went in as if nothing happened. I on the other hand was a wreck the rest of the afternoon while he was in the pool.

Today I think we may get a break from the heat, it's looking pretty cloudy. Which is good, we need the rain. I have already cut down the pea pods and beans in the garden. We are keeping our fingers crossed for the tomatoes. The rain will also give Roo a chance to play with his newest monster truck. Monster Mutt.

He earned it by going pee pee on the potty. He is doing OK. I am starting to think it's a lazy thing more than a control issue now. Because he will ask to go ANYTIME we are out but never at home. Hmmmm. Anyway here he is playing with his trucks. One of his favorite things to do inside.

Sunny Sunday

We spent the day celebrating with the cousins. It was Preston's 2nd birthday party. We swam we ate, we sang , we swam some more and we ate cake. Oh did I mention the bag of candy Uncle Chuck brought???

Both the kids loved to pool and were comfortable going right in without hesitation. Nicky almost forgot his swimming vest! He was so excited. This time though he got brave and noodled out to the deep end.

Butter swam in her vest and fish, then tried just the fish, then just the vest, and then with goggles! Silly Girl, you have to put your face IN the water if your wearing goggles. Butter used them to keep the splashes out of her eyes.

For some unknown reason to me I didn't get a picture of the birthday boy! Oops! Next time.Hope your Sunday was fun too!
