Swimming Lessons

Not so sure, second day for McKensey but first for Lidia
Check out Lidia
Look at McKensey
Wow, jumping in

So we have been talking about tis for a while now. I wanted to make sure that the girls were ready for the first day. So the first day came and it rained. Then the second day came and it rained. Okay so then the third day came and yeah it rained, again!!! So finally on the fourth day they were able to start swimming lessons. By now Lidia was not sure about the whole idea. She is very apprehensive to new things the first ime around. She had it in her head that she was not going to take lessons and I was determined she would. So she screamed and cryed and didn't participate the first day. Well, I won that battle, how you might ask? Well, I made it a point to call my friend and make a play date to go swimming that afternoon :) Since Lidia did not participate in lessons she did not get to swim at our play date, she sat on the side. Oh yeah, McKensey and I also had ice cream but Lidia did not. I felt like the worst Mom but it proved my point because the next day she went right into the water. I'm just glad it worked because I don't think I could have done that for 2 days. As you can see she DID have A LOT of fun!!! McKensey LOVED it as well!

Black Gold Days

McKensey and Mario on her first farris wheel ride. She LOVED it!!! Check out her face!

McKensey choose the dog to ride.
Lidia choose this wild looking horse

So I guess that, Glenpool, has this fair every year called Black Gold Days. We thought that it was a little thing but for this town, it was pretty big. It was like a mini carnival with games, rides and of course FOOD! We had a good time.

Sleeping Beauty

So sweet!!! Sometimes it amazes me the positions they sleep. I took this because it reminded me of William. He ALWAYS slept like this!!!

Father's Day

Friday...
Saturday...
AND Sunday!!!!


You think he's spoiled? Just alittle!! We did three days of Father's Day gifts!!! The kids loved spreading out the gifts and really kept good secrets. We love our Dad!!!

Mario just couldn't wait to play alittle football with the kids!!! You couldn't hear me thinking, Please just don't break anything. I didn't want to ruin thier fun.

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

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.
