Swimming with Abuela

No this is not one one my children but she was so cute I just had to take a picture. She and her brother were just jumping right in. I was impressed!

Abuela and Madison
Abuela with the "cousins" Lidia, McKensey and Elena

The girls had so much fun swimming with Abuela. She really lets them jump all over her!!

Siiting up

Believe it or not Madison is sitting up!!! Wow, the time flies. She's six months old and loves to just "sit" around. It makes it easier on me but she's still a little wobbly at times!

Swimming with the Johnston and the Winter Families

Andrew chillin' in the boat!!!
Emily trying SO hard to get on the raft...
Finally!!!
McKensey testing the water!


Thanks again, Monica!!! We love going to her neighborhood pool. It's so great to have good friends.

Art Class

The girls putting glue on their pencil drawings of fish. In the next class they will paint with watercolors over them!!!

Claudia Isakson is a wonderfully talented lady! She used to work with the City of Tulsa teaching art and now she does it on a smaller scale. She has offered kids art classes during the summer. The kids LOVE it!!! They know that when Tues. comes it's art day. She teaches them not only to do it but also explains art to them. They have done watercolors, "magic" ink, clay and are scheduled to do much more!!! What a great summer activity!

Our bunny

We have seen this (or one similar) bunny almost everyday. He's so cute! The kids were so excited to find him in the backyard. We hope he stays around.

Looking Good

Madison sporting her new sunglasses. Too cute!!! It only lastes a few weeks before she figured out she could pull them off. Oh, well, gotta try!!!

My first bag and the start of my new business. Check out my other blog for a sneak peak: http://www.bowsbagsandthingsboutique.blogspot.com/

Rain, Rain Go Away

This was out our front door during one of the MANY storms we've had!!!

Playing at the pool

This was our first rip to the pool this summer! Thanks, Monica, your a lifesaver!

Madison is 6 months old!!!

Wow! These were taken by McKensey at Madison's 6 month doctor's appt. Silly girl! (mcKensey that is)

Our "new" piano

Well, It's not NEW but it is "new" to us!!! William and Lidia have been taking piano lessons and we finally got a piano. I must say that we are so blessed to have gotten it for free. These pics were taken at my mom's because Mario wouldn't bring it home. SO... We made a deal!!! The kids and I had to keep the house picked up and clean for a month and we could bring the piano. Well, we did it (and are still doing it) and it was delivered tonight!!! Thanks Moroni and Mosiah!!!
