Our Ordinary Miracles

Swimming season is finally upon us and the kids love it just as much as last year! Noni found us this awesome triple Slip 'N Slide that they're enjoying too.

Shane got some peg board for the garage and I made a very organized swim wall. Just look at this organized yumminess! This is just some of the stuff we take with us on a jaunt to the pool. It all fits into two bags the size of small planets.
They still have fun in the kiddie pool that we put in our driveway too.We went to Science City a few weeks ago. Sam got to fly a helicopter!
Julia got her head chomped off by an alligator!
Sam and Nik hanging around on the lift.
We've gone to the zoo a few times already.
We have Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun passes again this year too. It's SO fun! I'm so glad we still have our Choo Choo wagon. I considered getting rid of it last year because whenever we went to the zoo or Worlds of Fun, they always wanted to walk and I just pulled around an empty wagon. Well they have gotten lazy in their old age and now all they want to do is ride. Speaking of lazy, Julia told me that her favorite things to do are eat and sleep. I woke her up from her nap yesterday and she goes, "just five more minutes!"
The kids got to see Uncle Josh in Seussical the Musical a few weeks ago. They loved the show are are STILL singing songs from it! They liked getting an up-close look at the stage too. Uncle J is so cool! Jules even wanted to wear her hat backwards "like Uncle Joshy" today.
On Wednesday the girls started a combo dance class! Julia was beyond excited. She told me all day that she couldn't wait to go to dance class. And, "Know why I'm smiling mom? Because I get to go to dance today!" After class she ran to me and said that she wanted to come every day! Sophie liked it too, but it seems like she's just following Julia's lead. Their instructor said that they did well, but distracted each other a little. So next time she will make an effort to keep them on opposite sides of the room.
We got a super cute little bench for the kids.
And a big one for Mom & Dad.
Daddy and the girls snuggled up on Memorial Day while we waited for fireworks.
Sophie loves her meat!
Digger Man Sam!
Sam and Julia play "prince and princess" almost every day. So sweet!
The live happily ever after!
