FUN IN THE SUN

Wow! I have been out of school for a little over a week now and I can't believe all that we've been doing. It seems like there is really never any down time-we are constantly moving-and I LOVE IT! Cole finished up his baseball season on the same day as my last day of school.

His coach then decided to have a big water party to hand out trophies and let the team play as just friends instead of baseball team-mates. They invited all the players' families so we all went and had a great time-with sunburns the next day.

Cole's friend Jackson was on his baseball team and in his preschool class-he is already having a hard time not seeing him everyday. They were inseparable at the water party.

Luke and Ellee play really well with Joel, Jackson's little brother.

Ellee was the only little girl at the water party-it was so cute to see the total difference between her and the boys. They all loved the water and she just screamed every time she would get splashed with water or if the boys got too close to her. It was so funny.

Since I have been on summer break we've been constantly on the move-our favorite things to do are: swimming-at the pool in our neighborhood as well as out back on our deck, riding bikes and trikes, bubbles, slides and swings at the park, going for walks with Mom-Cole riding his bike alongside, and climbing in bed with Mom and Dad every morning. It's a good thing we have a king size bed because it gets a little crowded with five of us in there.

This is the kids out on our deck in our little wading pool-it has a slide and they absolutely love it.

What typically happens on our long days? We have lots of really good naps! The twins will just fall asleep wherever-one day they even ran away to hide from the vacuum while I was cleaning and I found them asleep together-hiding-wish I would've thought to get the camera out!
I forgot to put this picture of the Wilder cousins on the blog after our get together at the park-we had such a fun time. I just think this is such a cute picture with the cousins together.

It sounds like you are loving school being out! The pictures are so cute! I am especially cracking up about at Ellee in the swim goggles. She is so funny. I loved her little squeaker shoes on Sunday. Summer sounds like it is, and is going to be a blast. Have a great trip to Roosie!

You deserve the mom of the summer award. It sounds like you are taking advantage of every little minute. I love the expression you captured on Ellee's face running away from the water.
