Pool Party

We had some friends over for a pool party this morning. What fun! We're going to make it an ongoing event. After swimming, everyone ate their picnic lunches, and then headed home for naps.

Camping!




We took our second camping trip last weekend. Connor and Callie had lots of fun digging in the sand at the beach. Our campsight was about 100 feet from the beach, so we just loaded up our stuff and walked over. Both kids loved playing in the water and getting sand in all their tiny crevices!






The next day we went to the campground pool. They have a lazy river and kiddie area, plus a huge regular pool, so there is plenty to do. Connor loves to ride his bike around the campground, and Callie gets to be princess in her bike trailer. On the way to the pool, Callie decided she needed goggles, so she put these on all by herself.



The picture on top is Callie and Jason last week, and the picture on the bottom is Connor and Jason in 2004. I love these pictures!



















So I guess this means we're done with the beach for the day.














Playing in the dirt outside the trailer!













I wondered why people were laughing as I drove by them.

It's fun to have a girl!


Having a girl is so much fun! Callie has a new baby and she is a very good "mommy" Here she is feeding her baby green jello. Is it wrong that I am having as much fun as she is dressing up this doll and doing it's hair? Seriously, I actually sprayed the hair with detangler this morning and combed it--just like I do with Callie.

Lazy Days at Home




Now that we are finally done with our remodeling, we have been able to spend some fun time at home. I am enjoying both kids so much! Connor has been going to camp at the health club in the mornings, so Callie and I have some Mommy time together. She is just the cutest little girl in the whole wide world! She is full of personality, and she comes up with some new and goofy thing each day. Today she decided that two pacifiers was better than one.
Next week we are starting a kindermusik program. She loves music and dancing so much, so I know it will be just her thing.




While Callie naps in the afternoon, Connor and I have been working on different school skills. This afternoon, he played a computer game for a while, and then we did some drawing. This is the first picture of a face that he has ever drawn! After our hard work, we snuggled up for a little nap. Camp wears him out, so we have been napping a little bit in the afternoon. He starts school next week (mornings Mon-Thurs).





Each day, Connor picks out his clothes and dresses himself. As you can see, he is partial to tye-dye during the day. But at night, he is head-to-toe Spiderman. Notice the Spiderman picture in the backgroud, and the Spiderman lights on the headboard? When Grandma Judy was here, she bought him lots of Spiderman shirts, so he can keep his look up during the day. He especially likes to show people his Spiderman underwear!
