something about the sunshine, baby....

I found the kiddie pool in our garage and we played in it yesterday. It was a beautiful day and the kids had so much fun.

Easton liked chilling next to mom on the patio chairs.
I love how the kids get a bit braver each year. Keagan loved the pool and was much better than she was last summer.

How much do I love these two? So much. Even when I want to pull my hair out, I can't imagine what I would do without them.

And yes, the finale to the day. Keagan naked. Thank goodness for the fence. But, what an adorable toosh she has!

June 25...

ice cream, ice cream, ice cream!

Happy birthday, Aunt Abbey!

Parker Update

Parker had another MRI on Saturday. He has been going to physical therapy to help the pain in his neck, but the pain has gotten steadily worse. The doctor was concerned about that, so the MRI.

The doctor called with the results this morning. The disc in his neck that was swollen due to the accident has now been upgraded to "protruding." The doctor is sending Parker to an orthopedic specialist Wednesday morning to see if shots will help or if he will need surgery.

Sigh.

thank goodness for fences....

As I am cooking dinner, the kids are in the back in our wading pool. I look out the window and Keagan has suddenly become naked. Thank goodness we have a fence.

new keaganisms

Keagan has been such a chatter box lately and she says the funniest things sometimes.

One night I was trying to get her to eat some broccoli at dinner and she licked it, cringed, and said, "But....I like Cheetos."

Tonight I was making dinner and asked Easton if he wanted capers on his chicken. I didn't bother asking Keagan because I knew the answer would probably be no. When I was putting her in her booster seat, she looks at me sad and said, "Mom, I don't want my chicken on my paper."

As I was sitting on the couch tonight she came up to me, climbed on top of me and said, "Giddy-up horsey!"

so quiet

The kids are at summer camp for a couple of hours today. My house is so quiet, I am not quite sure what to do with myself.

Cali

This past weekend I took a quick trip to California with my mom to help my sister and her husband unpack. I left the kids with Parker and they got to play and hang out and I got to miss them. I needed it.

Look at Shelley's cute belly--just starting to poke out with twins.
They live about a mile from the beach.

We went to the farmer's market one day and the produce is a-mazing!

Then we went and got breakfast for lunch at a local spot. So yummy.

We went maternity shopping with Shelley because she hasn't been yet, and with twins, this is what she will look like sooner than we know. (She is wearing the fake belly, but I had to take a picture.)
