New Goggles!

Hannah has really taken to swimming! While shopping, she asked if she could get a pair of goggles. We found a relatively inexpensive two pack so each of the girls could have one! They looked so cute. Sadly, Hannah's goggles snapped and we had to fix them. I think I will just buy a decent pair next time!!!

Hannah's Photography Take 2!



So, Hannah asked if she could take my camera and take pictures around the yard. Of course I was a little nervous that she would bury it in the sand box, but never-the-less, I gave it to her. I was truly amazed at some of the pictures she took. She was able to capture some great pictures. Everything on both of these collages were taken by her and unedited by me. All of my other collages I edit and take out all the background stuff. A couple of my favorites are their feet, the tennis ball, the worm, her wolf pup, and Elayna on top of the tree house (head view). She didn't use the zoom at all. (I never told her about it. I was trying to minimize the number of buttons she had to push!) She asked for a camera for Christmas. I asked her if she wanted Santa or mom and dad to get it for her. She told me mom and dad so we could get the right one! Of course, she wants a purple and silver one...boy do I have a task in front of me!

Congratulations!

Well, Hannah's T-Ball season is over. She ended up playing fabulously. By the end of the season she was about 70% focused on the game and 30% focused on twirling, jumping, and picking dandelions! That is a huge increase from the beginning of the season. She was playing hard, hitting well and running SUPER FAST (thanks to a new pair of shoes). We bought her some new shoes and she was convinced that the shoes made her run fast...not her. Gotta love kids!

Ross Park

A week ago mom took a day off to spend with us at Ross park. Jaime, her kids, mom, Elayna, Hannah, and me enjoyed relaxing in the tubes, splashing in the water, and picnicing in the sun. Fun day for all!

New Hot Tub

So, we FINALLY got a hot tub. After years of complaining of aches and the NEED (I say this because I want to believe we needed it) for a hot tub, we finally broke down and got one! The girls looked at it as a mini swimming pool. They eventually found out that they couldn't swim in it very well. It has been nice taking them in there after dinner as a nice way to relax before bed. Love it!
