First Swim Day

Can you believe an 86 degree May 2nd? The rule at our house is that it needs to be at least 80 degrees for Mommy (that's me) to even think about a swim day. A swim day could include setting up the small round pool, slip-n-slide or just running through the sprinklers. So today being the first really warm day (and Sariah's birthday) I decided to relent to the many pleas to go swimming.
Of course the slip-n-slide was the popular choice so it was quickly set up and the slipping and sliding began! Jonah and Lucas pause for a quick photo, our boys are so cute.
This photo here is amazing. Katie John often is reserved, but every so often she breaks loose and really shows us her outgoing personality.
Katie John is really great at turning towards the camera during a slide. She took many great pictures, but this one was the best with spraying water and a good smile.

4th of July


On our annual 4th of July march down the driveway, Jonah is chosen as the official flag bearer. With only one slight mishap (the top of the flag coming off the pole) the flag made it safely down my mom's long driveway all the while swaying to the loud patriotic music blaring from the stereo.
Keeping with tradition we gather under the flag, recite the pledge and think thankful for our country thoughts.
As it turns out our family is the only middle of the day activity attendees, well, also my sister Julie and brother Jonathan. So we rolled out the huge 75 foot slip n'slide and went a'slidin'.
A group effort is needed to get John moving for the slip n'slide wheelbarrow push.

My mom and John are working on a patriotic puzzle. It's a puzzle on the Presidents of the United States.... so informational.

Before the sparklers and fountain fireworks we gathered to watch some snakes grow. Katie John holds a sign that Aunt Julie made, it seemed to fit our activity well. What fun!
