Fun In Mom's Pool

 The kids all had a great time splashing around in Mom's pool -- Especially when Tab was squirting them with the squirt gun!!

We Are Family

 Our Uncle Jim and Cousins Peter & Elizabeth, her husband Tab, their twin girls: Melissa and Tori came in to visit us for a few days this week. It was great to see them and meet the girls. The kids were thrilled to meet and get to know their two 'California Cousins'. The girls are 6 and fit right in with the whole gang. I loved seeing Beth and Pete again after so long -- It was good to chat and catch up with them. I loved seeing our kids play together. The girls are so cute and sweet. Lots of fun. : ) I also loved seeing Mom with her two brothers. It's so good to see them all together.

1st Swim Meet: Green vs White

 
 The kids had their first swim meet of the season on Friday. It was an internal meet: Green vs White to get the kids times on all the events to prepare for the upcoming meets with other teams. The kids were super excited and maybe a little bit nervous. I was so proud of both of them! They both each swam four events: 25 Freestyle, Medley Relay (back), 25 Backstroke, and the Freestyle Relay. They both did a really good job. Each of them have improved on their strokes since last year. We are eager to see how their times have changed since last summer as well. I love to watch them swim. Kate was eager to jump in and swim right along with them and I had to tell her that her time would come. : ) It's good to be back in the summer swim team swing of things. 

Folder Games

 I made these file folder games when I taught preschool, long before any of the kids were born.... All three have played with them. : ) I love that. Kate enjoyed them very much.
