Splish Splash!

Today we went to the pool here in Ikego.
The kids wore themselves o=u=t!!!
We will sure miss the pool when Summer is over. :(
Good thing we will be going weekly (once a week) to the Main Base Indoor pool for some R & R after school. :)
The kids sure do Enjoy the pool, as u can see.






Our Pool in Ikego is Deep... Olivia cant even touch!
But, it helps her Swimming Skills.
Evan is doing well with short burst of swimming, but still needs that Life Jacket.

Look @ her face, made me Laugh out loud!!!!!
Belly Flop City! haha

Fearless Evan.
He truly has No Fear!
Today, at the ladder he held his breath and went under................. All the way to the bottom!!! Just because Olivia did. Man, he is so crazy!

It's been a While!

It has been a Long 10 days (or so). I have a ton of things to share, I will just be adding Slowly!
During the 10 days... I had Meemaw come and Visit (My Grandmother) & Grandma-ma (My Mother). We also had a 2 day Dance Rehearsal & Recital. On top of that, We had a Little Mini-Vacation (with the Family... dinners/going new places).
Also Olivia Started Summer Enrichment! So, it's been busy!
Olivia did Tap this year (last year was Gymnastics's and the year before... Ballet). She was in a production called "Dancer's R Us" and she was in Animal Alley. (Like the Stuffed Animal Toy isle) She was a Chicken... and was Adorable! (I personally loved GI Joe's... Pirates... and Star Wars!! How Creative!)
So....... ! I will be back later to add more! Enjoy!

~Heat Wave!!~

We spread the pool out & get all the wrinkles out... then start filling. It took the better part of 3+ hours to fill it up. Maybe even 4 hours.

Daddy having fun w/ the kiddo's.
Olivia, being Cute as ever!
Olivia, Again... she is NOT Camera Shy! Evan on the other hand... he could, as always... care less!
I just LOVE this picture! Love it!
This picture was taken in the evening, right before bed. The pool was full... and they wanted to try the new (and fun of course) Ladder.

Olivia, getting her feet wet.
Evan, ...'Its tooooo deep!' He is a sweeeetie pie!
Here in Virginia, we have been dealing with a MAJOR Heat Wave! For at least 3~4 days it's been 95+ degrees, in the shade! (My car-port temp reader... also the weather channel... haha)
It's going to be something like 99 tomorrow... in the shade, sooooooooo we went out today, and got our new Pool. :)
We had a "fast set" pool last year. I think it cost 60$ at the NEX... and it was GREAT!
Except... the pump burnt out, because of Human error... :(... and it cost 60$ to replace the pump haha... so i thought, NOPE.... i will just Donate the pool, and buy another one this year.
So, thats what we did...

Last years pool was 8 feet across by 30 inches deep.
(Great for a 5 yr old and a few friends. Evan had a blast too... although a little big for him with out Mommy.)
This years pool is 12 feet across by 36 inches deep... a Big Momma compared to last years.
Honestly, i did not realize how big until we got it all set up. It was a shocker! haha!
(I should have known... because it did come with a Ladder, LMAO!!!)

Ok,.... here are the pic's!
Olivia, in her *new* GAP Suit w/ optional skirt! Love her suit!!! (I love online shopping)
Evan, as always Thomas the Train... from last year. He also got a *new* suit... but it was washing.
The kids are "All American" this year. Evan is Red, White & Blue w/ Star Prints & Olivia is White & Blue w/ Star Print! ;)
