A little summer fun...






The twins seem to have this "love/hate" relationship with water.  They don't mind splashing around in the pool, but when it comes to sprinklers they just can't get used to water falling and/or dripping on them; they're usually running and screaming in horror at the very sight of any sort of sprinkler.  So much to my delight I was able to capture these few rare and precious pictures of them actually enjoying themselves in this $1 store sprinkler find - granted the water is barely shooting out... but a sprinkler is a sprinkler.

Now Samantha on the other hand I believe was actually some sort of water animal in another life.  This girl loves, I mean truly L-O-V-E-S the water so thank goodness we have a pool or I'm sure we'd actually have to move in with family during the summer just to use their pool everyday.  Sam is now taking swim lessons from her aunt Marci - sorry City of Mesa, you just weren't cuttin' it - and already her aunt is super impressed with how well she swims.

We are so excited for summer - now if we could just turn down the furnace that would be great!

Random photos...

Whenever I have a photo shoot planned at my house in my little “studio” I always beg and plead with the kiddos to sit for just a second so that I can get the lights and set up just right before the actual shoot. Well, in doing that, I always end up with the most random of photos... ENJOY! [taken December 2011]

Brody stories...

Here’s another Brody story for ya... A few weeks ago the kids put in a Wii game to play. Shortly after the game began Samantha calmly walked over to me at my desk and in a super low voice said, ‘umm Mom, Brody just said a bad word’. Mind you we have taught our kids that words like stupid, jerk and shut up are all bad words so I wasn’t sure what to believe or expect. I then said ‘are you sure it was a REAL bad word’...to which she enthusiastically said, ‘oh, I’m definitely SURE this is a bad word’. Well, not wanting to spoil the plot I told her not to tell me and that I will just have him tell me. I called Brody over and with an oh-so-cool-matter-of-fact-tone I just asked Brody what he said while playing the Wii game? In his equally oh-so-cool-matter-of-fact-tone he said [referring to the Wii game] ‘oh, I just told Sam let’s get in there and kick their ass’! I know the boy should have had a bar of soap shoved in his mouth, but really??!! How can you not chuckle...or in my ca...
