Saturday Night

The house had this cool sandbox and play house.  The kids got a kick out of that!  They took a small break from the pool to play in the sand.

Tavein and Aiyla relaxed on the porch swing.

While some were in the hot tub, a glider came by.  He flew so close we could waive to him...it was so cool!

Taylor got a chance to hold little Aiyla.

Aiyla went to Sabrina next...she is the best baby...not shy at all!  We all got to hold her and I never saw her fussy!

The guy with the glider actually stopped by and explained how it worked.  He actually knew the owners of the house and thought they were home.  He was very nice.

Marc and Olivia relaxing in the hot tub.

Aiden joined them too.

Jaxon actually hung out with me for a little while.

Taylor and Nana with Aiyla and Jaxon.

Jaxon brought a little TV along so he could watch the "Fresh Beat Band".  He loved that show.  Papa made homemade ice cream for our treat!  YUMMY

Time for bed Emma and Aiyla...so sweet.

More Swimming

Nana and Papa went to Target after the market and bought some great pool toys!  Marcus of course loved the water guns.

Emma, Olivia and Aiden enjoyed the hot tub.

Dad and Mom enjoyed having everyone together.

Aiyla joined in the pool fun too.

Marcus showed off his flips.

Tanealya floated on the noodles.

Emma finally got me to go in the water.

I was even brave enough to go off the slide! 

Tavein jumping for joy!

Jared doing some flips.

Olivia and Emma wanted to jump together.

So the did.

Even Papa went down the slide.

And the diving board!

We never did get Nana in the pool.  She had fun watching though.

Marcus was getting fancy catching footballs while coming off the slide.  What Talent!

Olivia has perfect form.

Marcus wanted to go down the slide with Tavein.

Brr...it got cold in the pool.

The pool was definitely the hot spot...we couldn't get these kids out of it the whole weekend!

Labor Day Weekend

Friday night everyone traveled to Kalispell, MT to hang out for a weekend of fun.  We were in charge of the first breakfast Saturday morning...YUM! 

We rented this amazing house that had an awesome pool!  Marcus jumped right in the first chance he got.

Marc was right behind him.

This is a dream come true for this little boy!

What's up Olivia?  Don't you want to swim?

Of course she does!  Olivia tried out the slide first.

Emma was a little fish too.

Olivia showed us her stuff on the diving board.

Riley showed us some flips.

Not to be out done...Emma showed us her flips too.

The big reason we gathered was for one last family get together with Tavein, Jared, Jaxon and Aiyla before they move to England for 4 years.

Aaron and I hung out on the porch swing catching up on life.

Marc, Taylor, Sabrina and Riley soaked up the sun.

Then everyone got dressed (except Marc, Emma and Marcus....they stayed behind for more swimming). We all went to the local farmers market.  Olivia bought these pretty fairy crowns for her and Emma.

Riley and Aiden shared their kettle corn with Olivia...so fun.
