Pre-Firework Festivities

The fourth of July this year was really great! The kids had a total blast. We had a great time at our wards pancake breakfast. Then we went to Grammy and Pa's house, took a dip in the pool and then had the chance to just hang out, bbq and enjoy each other before the fireworks got underway. It really was a really good day...loved every minute of it!
We definitely have another water baby. Conner is a happy little clam in the pool. He loves it! Reminds me a lot of the way Makenna was in the pool as a baby. He was just content as could be to float around, splash and play.
This girl is such a swimmer! And doing such a great job this year swimming on her own. Her favorite animal is a river otter and she tries her hardest to be one herself. This swimming activity also lead to further tooth drama with Makenna, but we will continue that story at a later date....
The way I got to enjoy the pool festivities.

Pa taught Kenna how to do a cannon ball. And she learned and perfected it almost immediately. Pa was very proud!
Whenever I see these two together I realize just how much they can resemble one another.
Pa also made a total breakthrough with Kellen! He is Not a water baby. He really doesn't care all too much for the pool. At least not big pools. But on this day Pa was not only able to talk Kellen in to going out in the middle of the pool, but he even took him on a bunch of "Shamu rides" on his back. It was incredible! And Kellen was Loving every minute of it.


We put on tattoos....
went streaking...
had pedicures...
and kicked back and played.
