this was halle's tap costume. the song was woody's roundup....it was soooo cute!

summer time is so fun! two weeks ago my sisters where here to kick off summer with us. we went to the pool every morning, came home for naptime (us girls just pigged out on yummy food) and then went back out to the pool in the afternoon. we had the most relaxing, fun time ever!!!

last week, the girls and me and tom, as often as he can, have been living at our pool! we can do the water slide for hours at at time, and then swim, jump in, play mermaids....it has been soooo fun!!! we have been going in the morning, i pack a lunch, and then we nap, and go back out.....with at least 6 hours of swimming a day, halle has gotten to be a really great swimmer! she can swim really long distances, come up for a breath and keep on going, she is fast, can swim down and get things off the floor of the deep end, and float really well. the whole time we are out there she never stops swimming or even goes in the baby area to rest....sometimes her naps last up to 3 hours!

friday kiki asked me to take her wings off, i told her she would drown, kiki, "the life guard will save me".....
so i did, at first she dog paddled, all morning. when we went back out in the evening, she said she wanted to swim like halle, jumped off the stairs and swam under water to me, a few feet! on saturday , all she wanted to do was practice. i had to watch her so carefully, because she thinks she can swim now.....she is doing so well and is soooo proud of herself!

halle, "how did we have enough money to buy a whole house?"
me, "we didn't, daddy works hard everyday and at the end of the month we pay some of the money towards the house"
halle, "i bet daddy is sad that he can't be home to play with us all day"

me, "kiki, your my best freind"
kiki, "halle's my best friend" (ouch!)
