The Pool

We spent several summer days at my dad & step-mom's pool. Is it fun? Most of the time. Is it relaxing? Not one bit! I can't get a tan over there because I never get to lay in one spot. I'll get on a float for a few minutes until I have to break up a fight, get a capri sun, fix a water wing, pull up wet trunks from when they get out of the pool to pee in the yard or take someone to poop. Do the kids have a blast? Yep. That's what matters, right? I gotta keep telling myself that! ;)

Jonah - He graduated to water wings by the end of the summer!

Nick - my nephew

Will - my nephew

Casey (Ash & I call her our adopted sister but she is Ashley's co-worker) playing with the kids. They love her!

Izzy's got the right idea

Jonah & Pa (my dad)

Jonah

My dad - The darkest white guy you'll see! Give him his beer and a raft and he is good to go for about 8 hours (when the grand kids aren't there ;) And yes, he was being silly.

Slippen' and a Sliden'

I'm now in my June pictures. At this rate my summer pics will be posted by the time winter is over.

This girl whips out a pose like she's on the cover of Vogue.

Let's do this!

Maybe?

The fun has begun!

Each time Isabel takes off down the slip and slide, her face is hardcore.

Summer of '11

Yes, I do realize it is November and I'm posting about summer. I thought once the kids got in school I would have just loads of time to do my blog & clean my house. Neither have gotten done. What's wrong with me? Don't answer that. Therefore, the next slew of posts will pertain to summer. We did have a good one. Lots of hot days & days at pa & Rhonda's pool, lots of park days and playing outside. These photos were taken one day while we loafed around outside.

I looked over and Miss Thang was working it in my shoes.

Not sure what was going on, but they both look a bit perturbed.
