Family Swimming

One of the kids' favorite things to do is to fill the big pool up, then put the slide in it.  They can last for a long time.  (Scott, Austin)

A day at Trafalga

We went to Trafalga for the day, the kids really loved the Pirate Ship, especially Austin.

 Ty loved hanging out in the stroller

Kate and Scott on the outdoor leapfrog one

Kate has recently started to love rock-climbing.  She went to a scout thing with Jeff and climbed right up to the top and the other 11 year old boys were having a harder time, she seems to have a knack for it.

Swimming Lessons

The kids did 2 sets of swimming lessons again this summer.  Austin and Scott were a little nervous at first, but all three ended up having a great time.  

Austin was a little nervous at first going down the slide, but ended up loving it.  He also improved a lot with swimming.  By the end, he was loving swim lessons.

Scott went down the slide A LOT during free time, at least 5 times each day, he really loved it.  A highlight for both boys is at the end when they get in a big circle and do Motor Boat and Ring around the rosy.

Kate improved so much this summer.  She kept getting candy bars for doing an extra good job.  She could jump off the diving board, then swim to the side all by herself.  It was pretty cool.

Ty just hung out with Mom and made cute faces.

What I woke up to today.

The note says "To Mom From Kate (Sorry if it got soggy)"

Love her

Austin Boston Coston Moston Loston

Austin loves to rhyme right now and does it ALL the time.  It doesn't even phase me anymore because he does it all the time.  Also, everyone's name has a rhyme (usually starting with the B sound) Here are some typical sentences:

Where are we going Mom bom lom com?

We had a busy lizzy dizzy day!

Katie Batie
Scotty Botty
Austin Boston

We love our Auzzie Bozzy!

This kid is growing up...

Ty is now 5 months old.  He is such a peach.  Ty is getting eating figured out, it always takes us a while!  He isn't spitting up as much and doesn't seem to be in as much pain with the eating.  He is just happy to have a face to smile at, blow bubbles at and squeal/happy scream at.  He really loves my hair.  When Ty really wants comfort, he grabs it with both hands (I'm thinking about cutting my hair.)  We all adore him so much and fight over who gets to hold him (during the day time hours)

Ty is weighing in at about 16.5 lbs (we don't know what to do with such a big baby!!)

He just learned how to roll over a few weeks ago, it is so cute!

He is almost sitting up, he'll sit for a few seconds, then tip over.

We're going to start solids...soon.  

How is he so big already?  Let's pause this age for a while...
