Sweet Summer Day...

I was riding in the car with my treasures the other day, coming home from the pool and I just felt so much pride. It was good pride I think.

As I was checking them out in my rearview mirror, they were smiling, and swaying their bodies in unison to the sound of Deana Carter's, "We Danced Anyway..." (Which is a GREAT summer song by the way. It's actually a great anytime song.)

We were stopped at a stop light when Siah said, "Hey mom, check me out." Then he stuck out his tongue (cuz that what he does when
every time that he shows me his dance moves) and then he just kept on swaying to song.

It was just sweet... Summer is simply sweet. The watermelon, the pool, the sunshine, the breeze that comes up from the ocean. The kids splashing and laughing in the yard.
The boys figured out how to jump off the slide into the other side of the kiddy pool this morning. AJ did some kind of awesome flip thing that looked scary at first but was quite impressive once we saw him come up out of the water with a proud smile on his face. :)



To tell you the truth, the girls aren't really into the water these days. By the time I get Hal's swimsuit on and every one sunscreen-ed up, Hal is "ALL DONE!" She is so into princess dresses these days. She has two pink dresses that her Grandma Judy got her for her birthday that she wears every chance she gets. And when those dresses are to dirty to wear she carries them with her around the house and she sleeps with them at night until I have a chance to wash them again.

See below? She wore her swimsuit for a whopping 15 minutes. Then back into the princess dress and princess shoes...



Siah has had some trouble keeping his shorts on this summer... Maybe he's gonna be a plumber when he grows up?




We ended up reading some books in the yard...


It was a sweet summer day...
