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!

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

Brody stories...

I know I’m biased, but I really do think my kids are hilarious and say the funniest things. Here’s a Brody story for you... Last Sunday (May 20th) we were eating dinner with the TV on in the background turned down pretty low. We were all talking about random things and then some image flashed on the TV. Scott looked to Brody and said ‘what is that?’. Side note: we are always trying to quiz him on what things look like and what he sees and if he can make out objects at certain distances away...given his eye issues.  Well, I don’t remember what the photo or image was on TV, but I remember his answer being not quite right. So a few seconds later something else appeared on TV - I think it was a cactus - and we quickly asked Brody ‘what is that?’... and he said cactus. And then a dog came on the screen and he just said dog (like the trained animal HE is ;-). And then...the next thing that came on the screen was a photo of some restaurant’s wine cellar and wine selection. So I asked,

Our prima ballerina!

Miss Sammy had her 2nd dance recital with Miss Annie's dance class. I was beaming ear to ear watching her dance her heart out. She was absolutely beautiful, graceful and completely poised. I'm so glad she enjoys dance class and can't wait to start up the next session.
