Kai's confused.

Jak's wearing his Uncle Bubba's old shirt.

Kelan's very serious about mowing the lawn.

We were so excited to get to the water park, but Jak could not want to follow the rules and wear his shoes (and was tired and cranky and threatening to melt down) so we decided to go home and have our own water park.

Noah was more than happy to hose Jak down, and Jak was happy he didn't have to wear shoes .

Simple Pleasures

We were just hanging out playing in the back yard...finally it wasn't too hot to play

Is it just me or is Kelan starting to look a little like George Hamilton with that tan? He's very excited here because he just found two frogs!

He chased one off right away, but the brave one stuck around for a while.

After it hopped off there was a full-blown frog recon- to no avail...

Until we found the Jak frog!

Hop, hop, hop...

Popsicles are yummy.

Summertime is just too much fun for Kelan. He can hardly get through a meal without this happening...

Fun at the Splashy Splash (Jak's name for the water park)

Kelan just strolling along...

oh my gosh! It's cold!

they could stay all day...

That's right, Kelan, you show him! (kidding...it only looks like he's about to deck the little guy)

Kelan pondering how long he'll be able to see his toes over his belly.

OH NO!! It can't be time to go home already!!!


Jak was very happy when I told him we could come back tomorrow...

upside down boy.

Kelan and Jak took last nights' Lakers loss really hard...

Can't they have a do-over of the fourth quarter?

Do they know they're supposed to rebound?

Oh dear. We're in trouble now...

Kai says "Go Lakers!"

Marcy brought Nina over for a visit today and the boys were thrilled!

There isn't usually much dancing at our house before 7 am,

but today was Kai's last day of school!!

Kelan makes Kai carry him around in his pack.

Kai doesn't seem to mind too much.

Kelan looking sly as he finishes off Jak's pudding.
