Splash Park

After painting our nails Teresa put cat-faces on all of the kids (Porter has a Tiger face). I am reading a story to my neice and Elsie while she finishes up.

Here is adorable Addie (my brother's daughter) with her cat-face and purple eye. She was hit in the corner of her eye by the swing Grandpa put up the day before. She hardly even cried, I couldn't belive it. It's hard to tell she was even hit because of the great cat-face.

My adorable neices.

Elsie & Rachel splashing around.

Addies, trying to convince Porter to go down the waterslide.

Porter, trying to warm up (Arizona boy!).

Sharing in the fun.

What a way to start the day

The girls got up waaayyy too early this morning. I helped them paint their nails on the kitchen floor in an effort to cheer everyone up. It worked, thank goodness. This is around 6:30 a.m.

Here are the little cuties showing off their new toes and stickers.

The ultimate diva.

Trampoline

Elsie's first time on a trampoline. She had a great time. Was timid at first, but quickly warmed up to the idea.

Here she is cooling off in the reflection of the wading pool with a popcicle.

Finished it off just in time for naps.

The Swingset

As we were sitting around watching Elsie toddle around the yard my sister & I commented on how much we miss the swingset that used to be in my parents yard. My Mom said that since my dad ran into it with the tractor a few years ago they just haven't been able to find a good place to put it. Pine trees are now nestling where it once stood. After careful review, Teresa & I found the perfect spot. Grandpa got out the tractor & the fun begins (not even 9:30 a.m. yet)!
