Vroom, vroom...riding in the car!

This was a rare moment! Usually the do not want to share the car when it is their turn so when it was all smiles this morning I was eager to capture it! It was fun watching them actually share the car for once!!!

Pool Party

We celebrated a friends first birthday at the pool this past weekend. It was great fun! Finley and Zane enjoyed splashing around in the big pool!

Happy Birthday to Trey!!

Coolest kids on the block!

What you lookin' at!! I just love the strawberries all over his face too...he is just that cool!

Splash pad progress...

We made some progress at the splash pad today! I went equipped with lots of toys from home. The didn't venture from this mini fountain but were playing in the water nonetheless!

We'll be back for sure! I NEED them to like the water this summer! It just gets too hot!!

Memorial Day fun!

We had a fun filled Memorial Day Weekend! GG and Grampy came in and are slowly moving into their new Austin home!! We are so excited!!
GG brought Finley and Zane some new toys to have over at her house and they loved them...

Pool time!

Enjoying a train ride with GG!

Then we headed over to some friends to splash around and grill out! As always, the Anderson's were gracious hosts and we had a fabulous time hanging out with everyone!

Gearing up for summer!

So based on our visit to the splash pad and the failed attempts at the backyard baby pools, I am working on fostering a love of water for Finley and Zane! (Just to clarify...they love their nice warm water in the bath tub but not so much with the colder water elsewhere)! This Momma hopes to be spending many days at the pool or splash pad this summer! So as I was cleaning out the yucky mess that the rain had left in our water tables, Finely and Zane showed some interest in the the hose and bubbles that the soap was creating. So I let Zane hold the hose and put some bubbles in the water table! They got all nice and soaked while playing in the COLD water! I'd say that is progress!

Zane is so proud!

Finley enjoyed washing the pinwheels!

Tank and Vader enjoyed the company outside too...and the water in the water tables! They were pretty thirsty from the 100 degree heat!

Splash Pad is open!!!!

We spent quite a bit of time at the splash pads last summer and I've been looking forward to them opening back up. Well, they are up and running! We visited a new one after quite an adventure (massive field trip at one, city workers fixing another, and finally third one was a charm!)
Blakeley and Woods came too and LOVED it! Unfortunately Finely and Zane forgot how much they enjoyed it last year and weren't too keen on the idea of being splashed! I am determined to remind them of how fun it can be!

Ahh, back on dry ground!!
