Afternoon Swimming

We are so happy we bought a house with a pool!!!

Most afternoons we head out to the pool

after an early dinner for and hour.

Sometimes two.

On the days that Daddy is home from work

and can go swimming with us, we pack a little cooler.

Clare loves the beer in the cooler!

Waiting to get outside.

Watching Daddy open the gate.

Getting into the beer!

JAMBO!!!!!

I have been wanting to take the girls to Jambo

for a while, but its hard to find the time during

the week since I am working now.

Greg happened to have a training and when he has

training, I get the day off from work....

Groupon and Livingsocial both offered Jambo within

days of each other and I bought both!!

Flying Elephant.

Weeeeee, the swings!

Oh yeah. Look who came to play with us at Jambo!!!!

Maddy was so excited for days and days

when I told her Autumn was coming up and we got to see her!

Love.

Waiting for the swings.

Autumn not so sure....

I love this picture. They are like real people.

Miniature golfing.

Going down the slide with Chris.

Baby Dean!!!

Clare Got Her Baby!!!

We got Maddy her American Girl Bitty Baby

when Clare was born and she has loved it ever since!!

Clare also loves Maddy's Baby.

Clare has many other baby's to choose from

in the house, but only wants Mad's.

For a while we thought it was just

because it was her big sisters baby.

Nope.

She really just loves that baby!!

So we got Clare her very own Baby,

she was so excited when we opened the box!

Checking out HER Baby!!

Mady still loves her Baby so much!

The girls and their chairs an their baby's!!

We have two of lots of things in this house now...

Kitchen Floor Tile

We finally got the tile down in the kitchen!!

It is so nice to be walking on tile

rather then the gross cement floor!!
We still have to tile the pantry and

the laundry room, we'll tackle that

after the beach sometime.

Cleaning the floor.

Getting started.

All down.

Getting grouted.

Done!!

Wondering what the girls were doing??

Maddy is playing on the beloved iPad on her chair.

Clare is painting with water on the floor!

Clare's 18 mo stats

Clare had her 18 month check-up last week and she is doing great!!

The Dr was impressed with all of the words she says and body parts that she knows.

She is one smart cookie!!

Here they are:

30 lbs, still in the highest percentile

32 1/2 inches tall, in the 75%.

Weeeee!!!!!

We went to our cousin Cole's 3rd birthday at Pump it Up!!!

We had so much fun and this was the

most awesome picture my Mom took!!!

Potty Time??

Clare loves to come in the bathroom with

anyone that will allow it, mostly Maddy.

She loves sitting down and getting toilet

paper and putting it in the toilet.

The other morning she carried her potty

all the way into the living room, so I put her on it!

She sat for a bit and then would play and

then sit again, so I put on a pair of panty's for her.

She looked so cute!!!

She never did pee in the potty, just on the floor.

Twice.

I'm in no rush to go through that again!

Master Almost Done...

Putting up the paneling and molding.

Done.

We lived with all of our furniture pushed into

the middle of the room like this for 2 weeks!

Done.

Bathroom view.

Bathroom done.

We are almost complete in our room!!!

We need to take down the sheet and hang our

curtains, clean the carpet and move a bit of furniture.

So close!

Master Bath Shower

The new shower base was poured.

Tile

Up close of the border.

Grout and done!!

Haboob

We were inside and missed Haboob coming in,

but Greg went out and got some shots while

all the dirt was settling in every space possible....

As soon as we stepped outside you could feel the dirt

in your eyes, in your mouth and on the cool beer cans.

Yuck!
