Memorial Day

Since our Memorial Day was a complete wash out, we decided to take the kids to the mall and let them run out some energy on the playground...inside.

Down the slide ~ head first
climbing, climbing
getting practice being in the driver's seat
more sliding
look out below!
Reagan was finally able to climb up on the trophy all by herself
Let's race
she worked on her balance
all that play deserves a cool drink
And he's off again!

Reagan's Swimming Hole

We bought Reagan and Cooper a new pool this weekend and the weather was perfect for swimming today. Unfortunately for Cooper, his 4 hour naps in the afternoon didn't allow him to partake in the swimming this afternoon!

BAM Pool Party

This afternoon (and into the evening), our BAM group had a pool party/cook out. Not really to celebrate anything other than having fun together!

Reagan and Cooper in the pool with dad
the kids love the hot tub
the race was on as to who could swim to dad the fastest
the moms talked and stayed cool in the water
everyone played in the water
Cooper's frog kept him afloat
by the end of the day, we were able to leave Cooper in the pool with his frog while we sat on the deck

the gang getting ready to eat
my little burrito
the kids enjoying their meal
don't judge the lunch - hot dog and corn puffs!
Dinner time

after lunch, the guys played a game of Frisbee ~ or something like that


Cooper didn't waste much time getting back in the pool after lunch
sweet Reagan
the gang's all here

Mommy and her boy!
Reagan wanted no part of the family photo!
his big smile allowed him to drink A LOT of pool water today!
testing the waters without her ring
big splash after jumping in

goofy boy!
Reagan was not feeling the camera today
Greg and Natalie played together all day
Finally, a half smile
a little better
After a lot of swimming, we roasted marshmallows

Greg showing Reagan the proper technique
Of course, Cooper had to have a turn too

Reagan and Natalie decided it was quicker to eat the marshmallows straight from the bag
sneaky, sneaky
back to the pool ~ Reagan saw how well Cooper could swim with his frog, so she tried it out for herself. The verdict ~ she would like a pink one!
Brandon keeping the smoke out of his eyes!
Cooper found the marshmallow bag

Cooper had a marshmallow facial

Playing a little music
Happy Memorial Day!
