Fun in the Sun

My sister and I went swimming. It was one of the first times I went somewhere with all 4 kids by myself. When I went to pick Shelly and her two boys up, Shelly asked if I was going to swim too. I said yes, why? She asked where my suit was. Oops. I guess I was lucky I forgot my suit not one of the kids. Luckily she had an extra!

Jaren was hesitant to get in the water, but it didn't take long till he was swimming (with his life vest and tube) all over the pool.

Noah was so funny. All he wanted to do was jump off the diving board. While Shelly was making a video of some of the other kids. Noah decided to try it by himself. Shelly ditched the camera, grabbing his leg just as he went off the diving board, leaving his head in the water till she lifted him out. All the while screaming my name - even though I was all the way at the other end of the pool. (It made me feel needed!) Shelly saved the camera and Noah. She was pretty shaken up. Noah, on the other hand, was ready to go off the diving board seconds later. Nothing phases him!

Corbin enjoyed lounging in the pool.

After swimming Noah and Owen had grapes to snack on.

Happy Birthday, Petey!!

For my little sisters birthday we decided to heart attach her house. It made me feel like I was in High School again.

Kate always has her legs stretched out, even when she sleeps.

I love how her little legs are tucked in.

The boys had a "guys night" with Grandpa the night before his birthday. Yes, all three boys stayed the night. It was s good break for me. And I think the boys enjoyed their break from me too!

For some reason some of my favorite pictures of me and my kids have been when they are new born and sleeping. My mom took this picture when she found Kate and I taking a nap.

Good morning!

Not Happy!

Uncle Nathan had a camping sleep over in the backyard with Owen and Corbin. In the morning he introduced the boys to Saturday morning cartoons!

Kate and I had fun hanging out, girl style!

Fun at the Park. . .

My sisters and I met at a little park with a splash pad. I love this picture. If you look closely Jaren is holding out his hand to help Ella up. He kept saying, "emear (come here), Ella."
