Thanks Aunt Becky!

Nate's sister gave us her cute whale wading pool. We were dying to try it out, so even though it was starting to get overcast on Monday evening, we couldn't resist. The kids were FREEZING! I really doubt that it was even close to 80, but I think we kind of blew that ol' rule out the window in AK, sorry Mom. Anyway. I took like 100 pictures (NOT exaggerating! in fact I think it was 2 over) and as you know I'm not a decision maker so I put most of them on here :) I LOVE summer/water/swimsuits pictures. They're just fun. So here you go :)

cute Noah was cold, but he kept going back for more

He didn't like being IN the pool though

Brad was a crack up.... he just kept making us laugh

I love this one because you can see Noah trying to dip his foot in. HA HA! that didn't go over too well. And Luke's little crack- he needs some more bumb to hold up his trunks.

Kelly braved the water and put her whole head under

Luke's funny in the water..... pretty much fearless.

he loves this action photo of himself. I love the arms! HA!

I don't know if you noticed Luke's change of swim suit. He actually POOPED in his first one!!! Luckily we caught him before he got back in but I HATE poop in the boys' swimsuits..... with the mesh lining and everything...... GROSS!!!! Nate's my hero for taking care of it for us.

I need to frame this picture and hang it in my room.... I LOVE IT!!

Look! Noah's standing on his own!! He only does it when he thinks we're not looking usually :)

I like this one too.... Noah was pretty enthralled with himself in the window. And his cute big brother made it even more fun.

It's so cold they don't even want to sit down! sad.....

brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

awwwwww!!! Kelly's so sweet with Noah! (I know I always say that)

Charity's a goof in the pool too..... thank goodness her cast is waterproof! I don't know what she would've done! Well, I do know! She would have been crying during all of the pool fun!

we were trying to find my dad's attachments for his air compressor to pump this sucker up, but we couldn't find it, so Nate ended up blowing the whole thing up HIMSELF!!!! We are attributing his illness to that. He's been deathly ill ever since..... poor guy! But what a cool dad to sacrifice his lungs for his children. Thanks again Becky for the pool..... I will probably get millions of more pictures of them out there.... try not to post so many next time though :)
