INSTAFRIDAY

linking up the jeannett again this week at life rearranged

yay for INSTAGRAM Friday's!!

Friday after work i took the boys for froyo

it's our favorite treat

saturday morning i had a grocery store helper

he was loading up on kiwi

in the afternoon we took the kiddos to san antonio for their final tournament of the season

and as an orange belt

there is a lot of waiting involved

but the kids are pretty used to it now

they first call the kids to the mats from the stands by age groups

then they line all the kids in the age groups by height

one day this boy will probably be last in line in his age group

he's a tall one

noah and skyler road with us to the tourny

we had two first place winners and two second place winners

good job kiddos!

sunday afternoon after church, lunch and naps we headed to the silvert's for a swim

the kids played in the water for hours

we had a yummy pizza dinner

and called the weekend a wrap

our favorite team advanced in the playoffs

GO SPURS Goooo!

getting closer to another championship!!

oh the sadness of this tragedy

i'm an okie

this happened in my home state

 too close to family

but thankfully they are all safe and sound

much prayer and love for all that are displaced and have lost so much

these two are really into their DS these days

daddy put some tunes on there

a few summers ago

on a plane

anniversary trip

dreaming of another one day

just he and i

they lingered with us a little longer this morning
not wanting to leave for school

wanted me to walk with them

lots of kisses bye and "love you's"

i'm always praying for their safety, comfort and well being when we are apart

and that they learn, place nice, get along, and stay out of the principal's office

oh geez

happy friday!

swimming

we've done LOTS of swimming this summer 

the YMCA is always a fun place to swim

never a huge crowd

always enough empty chairs for breaks

and they make us take breaks

one 10 minute break every hour

everyone out of the pool

the boys are becoming pretty good swimmers

they sure have fun in there

chasing each other, wrestling, diving, swimming

i didn't feel like swimming today, so another day thankful they have each other

coop says it's cold

corbin is tired

i'm sure by next year the boy's will be going down the slides,

 and swimming in the deep end

swimming

my baby learning to do a canonball. sniff sniff. i remember my dad always did these at the pool when i was little.
corbin is so confident in the pool now. the arm floaties keep him afloat, but he's using his arms and legs like a swimmer more and more. with a bit more practice this summer he will be a swimmer :) oh that makes me happy. it's so hard to relax with littles around a pool. coop put on some flippers and made quick work of swimming around the pool.thank you to our friends for inviting us over for swim and fun. what a lovely day!

this is the biggest pool I've ever seen. and most of it is only 4 1/2' deep. the deep end is behind a wall. the boys and lots of kids floated around the shallow side watching the talented big kids dive and flip. our nephew Ryan was a crowd favorite. so talented, and limber, and athletic and young. sigh. i jumped off the trampoline to show the boys i could... just barely i could. geez i felt old up there. of course there's no picture of said jump. you'll just have to ask the boys :)

i didn't get a lot of pictures cause i was in the water playing with the boys most of the time. they wore arm floaties and showed lots of interest in kicking, moving their arms and jumping in. i think this might be the summer they learn to swim!

can't wait for our next adventure to visit our country livin' family. ;)
