Memorial Day Camp out.

We decided instead of trying to go camping with the crowds we would have a swim party at our house and then a camp out at Jenn, Jarrod, Haley and Morgan's house which is about a mile from our house :-). The Browne's, Norwood"s and Cox's also joined in on the fun. We all set up tents in Jarrod and Jenn's back yard. Carly had a rough night that night and I ended up having to sit with her in the house ALL night holding her because I was afraid she was going to wake everyone up. It was pretty much a nightmare for me but everyone else had a blast and that is all that matters. We will make this a annual event now.

Dry Diggins Dolphins Swim 2013

Cole, you are one amazing swimmer. For 5 years old you are in the top 5 of all 6 and under in our league. You still have one more year in this age group and you are already making a little name for yourself. I have started to notice that people come up to the pool to watch you swim. So young, yet you have such a natural ability in the pool. It sure did not come from mommy. I am so proud to watch you swim and between you and me, during each and every race of yours, mommy sheds a tear or two because I am overwhelmed with pride that you are my son. I hope you continue to enjoy swim and have fun racing. Your hard work and dedication at 5 is amazing.

Pogo Sticking Cole.

OMG, this video cracks me up. Not only because he is in his tiddy whites but everything about it. His tongue out, him not thinking I am recording him and the fact that I am letting him pogo stick on the top deck with the ledge behind him and no shoes. I can't stop laughing....

JUMPING!

We all know that Cole is a amazing swimmer and has been for a while now. Carly is exactly the same. The difference with Carly is she has NO fear. Which is great for the water but also terrifying as she believes she can swim and will just jump in the water with no fear or hesitation. We have her in lessons 3 days a week and will continue year around just like we did with Cole. My life will be a lot less stressful when we are confident in her swimming.

Just because I think they are cute!

Just wanted to post these because I think my kiddos are absolutely adorble.

Mothers Day Weekend.

Mothers Day weekend was perfect. We relaxed by the pool and went to my mom's on Sunday. I ate way to much and just enjoyed life with my kiddos, my hubby and my mom. I am one blessed mama and thank God everyday for all he has given me.

Melt my heart!

I am a sucker when it comes to all the papers and arts and crafts Cole brings home from Preschool. He has a giant box stuffed with everything, since I can't find the heart to throw anything out. This is what he brought home for Mothers Day for me. I loved it and it meant the world to me.

Date nights.

Thank God for date nights. JD and I try and get out once a week for dinner and a few drinks. We have been blessed with having my folks right around the corner and blessed that they are willing to watch the kiddos for us on our much needed night out. I find it funny, that when I can't wait to spend time alone with JD and just sit and enjoy each others company we find ourselves only talking about the kids the whole time we are out :-)!

Cinco de Mayo Party.

Carly having a blast.

We had a Cinco De Mayo party with a group of parents we have met through my neighbor and ALL their kiddos. We all had a blast swimming all afternoon, making our special BBQ chicken burritos, margaritas for the adults and what is party without a Pinata. The kids all got along and were exhausted by the end of the night. It was a wonderful party.
