Swimming, Swimming...in a Swimming Pool!

When days are hot, when days are cool, in the swimming pool! Breast stoke, side stroke, fancy diving too! Oh, don't you wish you never had anything else to do!!!

Thanks to Lara, that will always be one of my favorite camp songs. And now for some wet shots!

Look who l♥ves the tub!


My friend Camille, I forced myself to do something with the kids. The Rexburg Splash Park was packed! But my kids loved it. It was also a good warm up for our August getaway, where we plan to hit a few water parks twice, maybe even triple the size of this place.

It took Jo a while to warm up to the idea, and she never did get her hair wet. Cate and Landon didn't hesitate one bit! the sidewalk chalk was a fun thing to take when the were bored or needed a change... and Brooklyn didn't like the water at all! I couldn't find her paci and what a good girl she was to borrow one from Lucas! Her little bandanna was to keep her bald head cool and protected from the sun. I did soak that in the water, and she didn't seem to mind that one bit.

Cate and Landon drew some of the funniest little people I have ever seen and they enjoyed karate chopping the fountains. It was pretty great day. No one got sun burnt either, except me, where I missed getting sunscreen. I have a pretty crazy looking sun burnt back and shoulders.









Last but not least, we had a great time seeing Blaine over the 4th of July week and the week after. This is the first time he met Brooklyn and she liked him! Who wouldn't???

The Opposite of Christmas Morning

We are having the opposite of Christmas morning at our house.  No toys.  We have one of these for storing toys: And several of these for the same reason: And last night the kids thought dumping them out for the sake of dumping toys would be fun.  This is a major rule breaker in our home.  I have had problems with this in the past, (even Mykalee knows this) and i have told them if it happens again, all the toys will disappear. And last night, after I found out what they had done, the toys have been grounded.  FOR A WEEK.  I hope it's as devastating as possible, so that they will learn I am serious when it comes to dumping toys out. {Also, Brooklyn is the only one who is exempt from this, as she was in bed.  Innocent.} On a side note, we did get the kids this on Friday.  It was time.  They seem to love it.

Breaking News: Brooklyn

Nothing like getting a sharp poke in the ear. Especially when you're two and an half and ASK for it. When Brooklyn was a baby I went to have her ears done, but decided to hold off, since her one ear lobe was so tiny, and her ears were very different in size. So I waited. For her to grow into her ears. And to grow some hair. Still waiting on the hair part, so earrings seemed like a great idea. She asked for them, and since we both wanted them, we went and got them. She picked out a pair, and viola, it was done. She said, "Owwwww!" once, and then laughed when the lady gave her a sucker and began modeling for me and Kyle.  All to show off her new earrings! Yup, seriously, she loves them.  It's pretty stinking cute.  She is constantly telling me, each time we clean and rotate them, "Mom, never take them out, 'kay?" Okay. Deal. And I did mention that we are waiting on some hair, but some is sprouting. So we're hopeful! See, she...
