On the news...

I was watching the news this morning and just so happened to see Morgan. For the summer, she's going to day camp at Brody's daycare and they have field trips a few times a week for the school aged kids...

here

Morgan is in the clip three times...but you have to look quickly...she's in a BRIGHT PINK swimming suit. At time on the time bar 20 seconds she's standing in line for the slip in slide, 24 seconds she's in the background sitting in a seat and 38 seconds she's actually on the slip and slide.

Pool, gynastics and family




Random pool videos...

Brody swimming with his floaties on...first time!!


Morgan doing her thing in the pool!

While at daycare, Brody goes to Gymbus on Fridays. They have converted a school bus into a gymnastics play area. All the seats have been removed and different mats and gymnastics apparatus are put into the bus. Morgan had the same thing while she was in preschool, but they never had a end of year performance. On Saturday was the "performance."

Look how well Brody's sitting there...very patient...
just looking around...I am impressed!
Oh wait...now he's standing up...
Okay...whew, he's sitting down again...let's get this thing started...Well let's just say, things went a little crazy from here...Brody showed his true colors! A ball of energy which keeps me moving and grooving all the time! He would run and do the exercises, to the best of his ability, and then he would run over to find me and give me a hug!


Which of course I loved dearly, but then again, I wanted him to participate too! Mom, Tom and I were rolling!
Whilst one of his running jaunts, another child's father asked me if my son ever sits still....as you can see....you know the answer!



Trophy time! Finally! Yeah Brody!
After the gymnastics event, we went over to visit with G.G. Sara and Jeremy brought over Nolan so he could spend the night with us. It was nice to be able to spend time with them all for a bit.

Whenever we go to G.G.'s, there is always a surprise for the kids. Books, toys, coloring books, crayons...you name it.
She's opening a toy car for Brody
Now the kids are playing with the skinny balloons in which to make balloon animals.
Peanut loves to read!
Everyone has to model the hat in which Morgan made.Then on Sunday, Bob took a vacation day from his weekend job and we all went to the zoo!
Nolan's face painted as a tiger...love the eyes painted on his eyelids. Morgan had a tattoo of a rainbow and musical notes on her arm. I guess I forgot to use the digital camera to take a picture. I know I did with my phone...hmmm...well she really loved it. (Musical notes as she started violin lessons last week.)

(I was able to find it after all :D)

Proof that Bob was with us.
Brody not cooperating with the camera...SHOCKER!!
This pamphlet cracked me up...
"MAMA..."Look...it's Morgan and Nolan's ancestor...
This is the baby giraffe Morgan and I saw a day after it was born last year. Growing up quickly to catch up to mama.
Morgan loves peacocks. First the female...
Then the male.
Brody was worn out...so we had lunch while he snoozed and then Bob took the older kids and they went to feed the stingrays and the sharks. He took an hour and a half snooze...not too bad for being in the stroller. Once he woke up, I fed him lunch and we found the rest of the crew coming out of the stingray exhibit. Perfect timing!! This older kiddos were getting a bit tired of walking and "Ahem"...someone kept them up too late the night before...note NOT me...so they were getting a bit on the whiney side too...so we headed to the train.
We had a great day!! The weather was perfect! A little cool in the morning for wearing a tank top, but the sun came out and it was probably 78-80 degrees. We saw a few friends enjoying the day at the zoo too! Good times!

Thally Thells Thee Thells...



This is what happens when you don't have your front teeth...a cute little lisp.
