Just Keep Swimming

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming we are feeling a little Nemo"ish" here. The kids are so enjoying the pool this summer. Clayton is getting so daring and jumping off in the deep end, Caden walks to the deep end and then spits like a fountain. I have no idea what is up with that. And Miss Katie loves to cruise in her green floaty. Since we have been SOOOOOO hot here, its the humidity I have been told by our Arizona friends not the heat. Whatever it is, it is hot, temps have been averaging 103 and sometimes as high as 107. In that case we don't get out until the later part of the evening. I love this time, the kids have the most gorgeous tan and sun kissed hair and yes that is with plenty of sunscreen. This upcoming weekend is the 4th of July, the boys are super excited about the fireworks. Due to the economy this year, lots of places are not doing a big display, so we are going to create are own tiny tot show of sorts. The boys have counted how many fireworks stands there are between us and the grocery store. We have 3...I know Daddy will get in on this and go just a touch overboard, but its all in fun and we are always trying to build great memories with the kids. Until next week, stay cool and enjoy all the wonders of summer....

Summer Time!

Summer is by far our favorite season. There are certain things in a kids life that are "have to's" for summer a tradition of sorts. Swim until you are pruney, stay up late and watch the stars, eat a whole watermelon and then spit out the seeds, dance around a sprinkler, ride your bike just to feel the freedom, meet animals of all shapes and sizes, go fishing, make lemonade from scratch, roast hot dogs, eat ice cream for dinner, have a mud fight...oh my the list continues and its only the end of June. I can't wait to see what July brings. The kids are having a blast and so are we. I so made sure and got a refill on vitamins for our energy packed days. Our goal is to tire out the kids first and in most case we have succeeded. We are so blessed our children are the key to our paradise.
