Here are some pics of Makenna practicing for Halloween a little early. Is she not the cutest thing ever?? Two costumes already compliments of Aunt Deeda......Halloween is her FAVORITE holiday. Makenna will probably have a costume for every day in October...haha!!

 Makenna and Hudson sitting so nicely as they enjoy a little pretzel snack with Heather. So cute!!

 Hi Mommy.....looking so cute, lil Miss Makenna!! Hanging at the Kloster's house on our sunday which is ooooohhhhh so fun as always. The kids just have a blast and I love watching them. Tristan is so good with the little kids and Hudson just adores Tristan. He follows him every where and copies him. It is just so sweet to watch!

           Tristan and Hudson hanging out in his room reading books together. How sweet is this??

            Here is a short video of Tristan enjoying the slip n slide as well. He had a blast!

Here is a quick video of Makenna getting her slip n slide on. She thought it was fun once I helped her along!

Here are a few pics that I got while the kids were playing in the backyard  on our slip n slide. It has been pretty hot out lately and we were just cooling off. They had a lot of fun!

My brave little Tristan started jumping in without his floatie, then it proceeded to the deep end. Before we knew it he was almost drowning (I mean swimming) in the deep end to daddy. What happened was he wanted to get to Patrick in the deep end and just decided to go. I heard a very nervous Tristan going under water.....until he realized his head was remaining above water and he finished his swim to daddy, therefore verifiying mommy's many pleas to test out his awesome swimming skills without his floatie. Mommy's always right....haha! This  video is a short clip of him jumping in without his floatie.

                   Here is Tristan doing an awesome cannon ball in the pool. He is getting so brave!

 Waiting for grandpa to open the door for us. We went to visit grandpa before swimming to check up on him because Aunt Deeda is out of town. I just had to share these pics because the kids looked so cute waiting there for their Papa to answer the door....so sweet and I caught the pic of Tristan knocking....haha!

                                                 Oh my gosh  I hear the, "CHOO, CHOO!"

Here are a couple of pics from Tristan at the dentist today. He was so funny. They give the kids sunglasses to wear to prevent splash factor in their eyes. He thought they were pretty cool. They also get to watch a movie while they get their work done. How fun is that??? Can adult dentist do that too!

Well we spent the entire 4th of July weekend swimming and grilling at papa Brice and Grandma Bonnie's house. We all had a blast. Fun in the sun is pretty tiring though and we were all worn out by the end of the day. We spent all day from 9am til nap time in the afternoon at the pool and then woke up to enjoy more family time and dinner, followed shortly by bedtime. Except for 4th of July we stayed up late to watch fireworks. Very late for the kids 1030pm, but they did very well and even went to daycare today which had to be a lot for them because I sure was exhausted myself. I could have used an extra day off to recoup from the weekend. 4th of July pics to follow in the next post.
