Swimming & Birthday Party

Last Friday July 24th (I think that is the date), we met up with my cousin Lindsay and her 3 kiddos at her mom & dad's to have lunch and swim in their pool. Beginning of summer we both agreed that this summer we needed to get together and a lot more and do stuff. And the end of July we FINALLY were able to do something. But let me tell ya we had a BLAST!!! We got there around 11:3o and Izabelle was ready to eat (Imagine that), so she ate while Grace, Hannah, and Nolan played in the pool. Once she ate and checked out Lindsay's youngest, Will, she was ready for the pool.
Here are some pictures of the day:

Say Cheese!!!

That following Monday, I decided whether the weather was nice or not we were headed to the local pool. Lucky for us the weather was NICE & we pretty much had the baby pool to ourselves. I loved being able to just sit there and soak up the sun, while watching the girls splash around. Grace and Izabelle was excited to see some friends come through the door of the pool house...Ava and Jake!!! It was nice to see them, as well as Jamie and her mom. We stayed there for about 3 hours. The time sure did fly, but we did get some nice tans. Wednesday, the weather was not so nice, so we stayed home, watched movies, and played with Gizmo (our puppy)...By Friday we were ready to get out again and enjoy the weather.

So, that is what we did, we headed to the pool again with our lunches packed and ready to meet up with Abby & her kiddies and Brooke & her kiddies. Grace teamed up with her friend Lillie. Izabelle wasn't too much for getting in the water, she was more into checking up on Pierce and Miller, she sure had a blast. A couple of other friends joined the fun as well. It was good to have some adult conversations, but still be able to have fun with the kiddies too. I didn't get any pictures, well except from my camera on my phone, but those were not that great. So, I will have to get some when we go again tomorrow.

After the pool we headed home to get ready for my neice, Emily's 2nd birthday party at the park. What a nice day, too. We were a little late, fashionable late, but we didn't miss the important part of the celebration, the cake and presents.

Here is the birthday girl and her new ride...My sister and brother in law are really into cars and are in a car club, so this little gal will be driving in style...Oh, and it comes with a remote control for the parents...How awesome is that??? Best part was they didn't break the bank either.

Grace and Tristan

Okay the next 2 pictures are of my brother and his girlfriend. Grant has been letting his hair grow out, prolly because when he was in the military he had have short hair.

Here is him with his hat on...Pretty good looking couple, uh???

BEWARE, if you are afraid of hairy beast please turn away!!!!

Release the beast...Poor Amanda!!! I don't think she really knows what she is getting into...Just Kidding. I love these two:) Since we were at the park, we decided to go across the parking lot to check on our duck, Moey the Moey Hawk.

Moey The MoeyHawk (the one with the fro)
A couple of weeks ago, the girls and I came to see the ducks and noticed another duck with a "mohawk"...Meet Mo's friend. We think he might be his brother.

After checking on the ducks we headed back over to the playground to let the kids play alittle longer. Izabelle wanted to lide (slide), so she got Uncle Grant to take her to slide. He is going to be such a great daddy, one of these days.

Goin down the slide

Then the little girls wanted on this, so we decided that the biggest kid should join them and guess who that was...You guessed it Uncle Grant. He is soo cute with these girls.

As you can tell we had a fun filled week, and that is not all of it either. It is getting late and I am keeping my loving hubby awake by blogging, so I will have to post about Saturday and Sunday on another day. Bummer, I know, right!!!!

I am hoping that everyone is enjoying the last bit of summer before school starts as much as we are. I can't beleive we have to register Grace on Thursday, but I can't think about that right now, I need to focus on the right now, which is getting to sleep because tomorrow is filled with getting my corn done and taking the girls back to the pool.

Until Next Time...

God Bless
