Waterpark FUN!

Doug played hookie today and we decided to go to the waterpark.
This was the first time he has been this summer. Here we are
hanging out in the kids pool area.

Here is Payton on one of the small slides. These are so nice to have.
The girls finally figured out how fun the slides are. They were scared
before, but today they went 100's of times!


Today Bre learned how to land at the end of the slide. She is tall
enough to just stand up, so we don't have to catch her. That is really
nice. They can walk up and start themselves and we just stand in
the pool and watch. It was a fun day!

Summer Fun

Here is Bre with her Dora sunglasses on. She loves to wear them
when it is sunny outside.

Payton is wearing some sunglasses too of course. She looks like a

little bug.

We put in a teather ball in the back yard. Well, when I say we I mean

that Doug really did it. He got the pole and ball from work last year.

Yesterday he bought a pole and cemented it into the ground, so we

just take the lid off and slide in the pole with the ball attached. It is

a pretty cool system. Then it is one less thing to mow around in

the yard. We had fun playing!

We had our first experience with the ice cream truck yesterday. We

were out working on the teather ball pole and heard the music. Last

year we would hear it, but then never see the truck. So we finally

got to buy something from the truck! They loved it!

Here is Payton enjoying her ice cream sandwich! They both made a

mess, but really loved it! What great memories!

Sleeping Beauty

This is a picture of Payton sleeping on her Dora couch. She would
not go to sleep that night. We put her back in her bed a dozen
times. Finally she got up and put her baby by her and fell
asleep on her Dora couch. Silly girl. Below is the video. The
picture makes it look like day time, but this was about 9 pm
when I checked her for the last time.

First Trip to the Waterpark in 09'

This is Payton in her new swimsuit before we left to go to the
waterpark for the first time this year. I love this suit! I wanted
to get her a swim shirt and this one came with the shorts. I
wish I had one like it!

Do you think Bre was excited to go to the waterpark? She had the
cheesy grin in all of the pictures. We met friends there too, so that
added to the excitement! Andee, thanks for the suit! We
needed the swim shirts for yesterday, the water was pretty cold.

Both of them ready to go. There is the cheesy grin from Bre
again.

After we got home and took their suits off, this is what they

decided to do. They didn't want clothes on and they drew

pictures for mommy and daddy. Cute. I know I have

pictures of me when I was little doing the same thing.

They love to draw! Here is a cheesy smile from Payton this time.

Cute pic of Bre. This is actually a great smile. She hardly does those

for a picture!

Well, we went to the waterpark during Payton's nap time. Needless

to say they were both a little whiney last night. I put on the leap frog

letter movie and Payton fell asleep watching it! Awesome! All I

had to do was put her in her bed. She was worn out from all the

playing outside. They are so cute when they are sleeping!

Fun Playing outside

This is Bre and Payton playing under the trampoline. There is a
hole under there from where we dug out a bush. Bre started
putting balls in it, pretending they were eggs. In this
picture they are "sitting" on their eggs. I thought it was
a cute picture.

Here is the "eggs nest" full of balls that they created under the trampoline.
I am glad that they can be creative and find something to do outside.
They just love being outside and so do I. Hopefully soon it will be nice
and hot all of the time.
