Our favorite pool!

We met friends at our favorite pool....still not HOT HOT.....but warm enough to swim...our summer here has just started off very cool....NO complaints from me...I'm just not a heat person!

Cassidy loves the slides!
At the last minute we had to go buy new swim shorts for bubba.....his were a little to short for his likeing.

Dive Girl...
Elyse was with us and the Schwarts girls..
Cace...
Look at all the stuff we aquire.....and you can't even see stuff that is to the side...
Here they all are....dried up and ready to go home..We had a great day!!!

Toy's for Sale...

Our community has an annual yard sale...so this year the kids decided to have a toy sale...they gathered all their toys that they no longer had use for and were all hopefull to make a small fortune.... Jeff made pancakes outside for them...he is soooo nice!! That is their favorite to have pancakes on the grill.
You can see the "supervisor" making sure is just so....Cacey is making signs...they got up bright and early!!
Looks like good stuff to me!
They tried to get everyone to stop by hollering "TOY SALE!" Not much luck. Jeff gave them $10.00 each if they bagged up what was left and took it to the goodwill. They were all in agreement. I was proud of them for trying AND got rid of things they no longer need. They had fun!

All Work and No Play.....

Makes me cranky!!!!! I have so much to catch up on now that I am at work semi-full time!!! The past two months have been realy hard physically, emotionally and mentally!!! It has been alot of hard work for all of us but it has been worth it to see some stress relief from my guy and from myself. Money may not bring happiness but man does it help!!! I like working at Dr. P's office he is a great person and the small office is nice not to be overwhelmed with staff and patients, unlike the hospital. Most of the gals their are Christians and that helps with my daily walk in the Lord. So here are A TON of pics from early summer of what little we have been up to........
Near our home they have Friday concerts...the kids love going out there and getting all the "free junk" they give away. Jeffery liked the little kiddie things to play on. My kids forget how "big" they are....they still want to do all the "kiddie" stuff....look at all the other little tiny kids around...he looks like a giant! I made him get off and let the toddlers play.
Well I guess his sister had to join in.....Cacey is on the other round ball spinny thing..
Cass and I just hung out with our Harper.....She is such a sweet girl that Cass....I love hangin with her!!! It was a fun evening....Jeff had to work so he didnt come.
