Memorial Day

Most holidays we are in town (unlike many of our friends) so we usually try to get together with any of our friends who stay in town too. We were grilling for lunch and Clarks and Davis' came over for the monring of fun. It was a rainy morning and i was bummed that we will not be able to be inside and thinking kids will be bored and cramped inside the house. But as the morning was passing clouds cleared up and we even saw some sunshine. As soon as the rain stopped everybody was ready for the pool to open:) The bigger kids had so much fun. Ty was so happy to be able to open the water so the hose that was attached to the tail will spray water. Elliott was a bit hesitant at first but quickly joined in the fun. Emma of course already knew all the tricks and was excited like always. I love the picture with all of them and how serious they look. Its funny. Unfortunately i did not take any pictures of the adults or Nora and little Charlotte. There is always next time i guess.

Beads/Perlice

Grandma was in town to visit us for the week and she gave us 2 boxes with beads. I mentioned that i think Emma would love that and since i am off on Fridays i always try to do something fun with her like that during Nora's morning nap. She just could not wait for me to get her some thread so we can get going. She was so proud of her products-she made some braceletes for herself and nora and wore them the whole day.















Emma thinking about what she should do?














So proud of her work!

Fun with Pedro!

Emma's old pool broke so she got a new one and loves it. It has a special feature with the sprinkler in the giraffes tail. Emma has used the pool earlier but that afternoon she and Pedro decided to have some fun with the sprinkler. They would put their faces under the water and then run circles in our backyard eventually totally soaking themselves in the pool. They just had too much fun for us to tell them not to get their clothes wet. Hopefully Pedro's parents were fine with that too-they went to mexico the next morning so we still don't know:)
