Happy 4th of July!!!!
Well, it's that time of year again which can only mean...yup....PARTY AT THE BOUCHERS! This year Steve's parents were in town so we loaded up the Yukon with all of us and the kids' crap and headed out. We spent the day over there in the pool. The weather man said is was going to be 107! Yikes! I can't really remember it being that hot around here. The river yes...rancho cucamonga...NO! It was a fun day. Hot dogs, hamburgers, the works. I forgot the kids' bottles of formula and gerber food. They found out what hot dogs tasted like. They really liked the taste of them. They ate fruit and they always love fruit. I'm trying to give my kids better eating habits than mine!
The kids' outfits for the day were very cute. I bought them months ago at Toys R Us. I called Janet after the fact and told her that I'd purchased the kids' outfits for the party. Her response was, "what party?" Every year, everyone always wants to get together at the Bouchers for the 4th of July! When we were in Seattle, Fred and Sandy gave us these cute little American/USA bathing suits. Of course they had to wear those. It was Brooke's 1st bikini! Look out! Here are some pixs:
Brooke is our "little brown berry" which means, she tans. That girl can be in the sun for 5 minutes and be brown. Kyle on the other hand has senitive skin so he burns with 50 on. Hence, he's wearing one of those swim shirts and a hat. He didn't really particularly like the hat at first which always amazes me since he was wearing TWO when we got him. Perhaps he has flashbacks and that's why he doesn't want to wear them anymore. When I would tell him to "leave it," he usually would and it stayed on his head. We had a great day eating, drinking and swimming at the Bouchers(who are also the godparents to these 2). We brought the pack n plays so the kids could take a nap. Brooke is usually my great sleeper well, this time, Nikki came out and said, "brooke's crying." WEll, Lauren had tried to sneak in the room and Brooke saw her. It was over from there. Steve got her up and what did she want to do....get back in the pool. So we threw on a swim diaper and back she went. Our little naked girl. She just loves the water!

It was a great day but like all of those, they must come to and end. We loaded everything back up into the Yukon and took the kids home so they could sleep in their own beds. They were tired pups from all that swimming! Thanks Aunti J and Uncle J! We love you!!!

As you can see, the look on my face says it all!
It's always an extra special day when we get to go to a friends house with a pool. Auntie J has a great pool and we have been there a few times now. We like to sit on the side of the pool and throw ourselves in. The kids have no fear about this. We count to 3 and then they go in but as of late, they don't even wait until 3, they throw themselves in once we sit them on the wall. Kyle is too funny about throwing himself in. When he knows he's going, he shuts his mouth and squeezes his eyes shut. He's no dummy. He knows how to keep the water out! They have some floaties that they can sit in but they have quickly figured out how to get out of them. Guess swim lessons will be soon to follow.
