Happy 4th of July!

Just wanted to take a minute to wish all of you a Happy Independence Day! We are planning on spending some family time together today and going to the park to watch some fireworks tonight. We went last year and had a great time, and for being a small city, they put on one heck of a fireworks show!


We've been keeping busy lately, the kids finished up their gymnastics and ballet classes this week, so we should have a few weeks of downtime until I can find new classes for them. Here's some pictures of what we've been up to the last few weeks.

No diving in the shallow end!

The kids (with a little suggestion from Grandma) decided to "get Mommy!" Needless to say they thought it was great to get me soaked!
The birthday boy - cake for breakfast...

...and cotton candy ice cream with sprinkles for dessert!

All I can say is, turnabout is fair play!

Get Grandma!


We went to a birthday party at the local pool for one of Grace's preschool classmates. The kids (and adults too) had a great time. Tristan wasn't too fond of the slides, but Grace told me before we got there that she was going to go down by herself, and much to my surprise, she did!



She came down all smiles and said "I wanna do it again, Mommy!" So, she headed up the 2 flights of stairs all by herself and did it again.

David got there after work, and took Grace down the "dark" slide. This slide is pitch black - you can't see a thing until you get close to the end, and the last time we were there Grace had no desire to go down this slide a second time... This time however, she said that she wanted to go again - you guessed it - by herself! And she did - twice!
