Fun With Water

We have been very into swimming this summer. My kids are becoming little water babies. They can't get enough. This is one of the only shots I can get and it is in my back yard. I am just too occupied to get a photo at a pool or park. We bought this sprinkler octopus from Pottery Barn at their summer sale so we would have something for them at home. They've had a great time with it. Ethan is getting better and better with his swimming. He is gaining so much confidence and wanting less help. I am so proud of him! Reese is everywhere and is great with the water. She is a natural. Of course she has been her usual self though. Today we went to Pelican Bay. I noticed her chewing on something and asked her to give it to me. I lost it when she spit it out. It was none other than some one's used band-aid! UHGG! (Gag reflex activated and I can feel my lunch coming up) Thank goodness she is on Amoxil so I feel a little better...ok not really.

Our little ball player

Our 4th

Our Independence Day was really fun this year. We started off the day with Edmond's Nationally recognized parade. The kids did great and loved all the great floats and cars. Then we ended the day with the festival at UCO. We went with some friends and had a great time! They have a little boy Ethan's age and they had a ball together. There were lots of fun moon bounces for the kids. The best part is it was all free. Then we all sat and watched the spectacular fireworks show. We left Reese with Kyle's parents, so it was "worry-free."


We spent the afternoon with an activity I would rather not have to repeat in the future. Reese has been into sticking things up her nose lately. I never had to deal with this with Ethan. This girl always is finding ways to keep us on our toes! I fed her some corn with her lunch yesterday. When I noticed a piece of corn sticking out the end of her left nostril. I fished it out and looked again to see yet another piece. To make a long story short I fished out 3 pieces on my own but had to get Kyle (thank goodness he is a PA)to fish out another. Then after her nap she kept saying "nose, nose" We were like.."You have got to be kidding me" That's right folks, we had to fetch yet another lodged kernel. That made the grand total 5 kernels up one nostril. I didn't even think that was possible. That makes our running total thus far to 1 choc. covered pretzel, 1 Cheetos, and 5 corn kernels she has managed to shove up her nose. I hope it ends there!
