T and the water hose!

We have been spending a lot of time outside with the water table and pool these past couple of months. Tristan has become very fond of the water hose. He loves to spray it and be sprayed. I know that drinking from the water hose is not the healthiest thing to do, but Clinton and I both remember doing it when we were little. We thought we would see if the kids liked it. Reagan was not having any of it and of course Tristan loved it. I just loved the pictures and thought I would share these for my wonderful Wednesday post on Seven Clown Circus.

4th of July 2010!

We had so much fun this 4th of July. This was the first year the kids were in the neighborhood parade. I decorated the red wagon the night before, and it lasted until we put the kids in it. I couldn't expect much more. Who can resist all the shiny things and flags just asking to be pulled off.





We also attempted a family picture. I think we took 10 before getting one that was good. I added some of the funny ones that we got before our good one.






I'm not sure what we were thinking but we decided to take a picture of the kids with their cousins. These were so cute and funny I had to share with everyone.


Reagan really wanted some goldfish.


Max was not sure about the dog behind that fence.



We didn't get one of them all looking at the camera, but at least they were looking the same direction.

When it was time for the fireworks I was excited, because I finally have a camera that would take good pictures. I was really proud of how some of them turned out.






I hope everyone had a great holiday!

A day at the beach

We went to Defeated Creek last year when the kids were about 6 months old, and they had no idea what was going on. This year they had a blast. Tristan has no fear of the water, or anything for that matter. Reagan had to ease into it, but later enjoyed it. She had to wear her swim shoes because she did not like the sand on her feet. It was a big difference from last year and we hope to do it again soon. I will be back in a few day to post some 4th of July pics. The kids are in our annual neighborhood parade this year. Sorry to everyone who got a blog update in your email with no update. I was trying, but the kids did not like the idea. I hope everyone enjoys the pics and the holiday weekend.
