A Day at the Tate Pool!

Lincoln and Sally had so much fun in the water. Tate was a little nervous and Abbie did not want to get out. It was so relaxing in the cool water.

I can't believe how much Mitchell is growing up. He is finishing up the 5th grade. I am too young to have a 6th grader!!! Or is it that he is just growing up too fast?!?

Austin is finishing up the 3rd grade. He has learned to do a back flip on the tramp and off of the diving board. Sarah got him to do a one-and-a-half front flip off the diving board on this day!

Abbie and Ivory!!!

Abbie and Ivory Taylor are best friends! They love to play together and I never have to break up fights. They love to play tea party and princess.

They both have a fasination with shoes. Abbie's shoe drawer is emptied and then they both start putting on all of her shoes. I love how they get along so well.

Ivory's mom just had a baby boy two weeks ago. Before she had the baby Ivory would come to our house during doctor appointments and so she could just relax for a while. Now I try to have Ivory over at least three days a week for a couple of hours. It really makes it easier having Ivory over to play with Abbie. They entertain eachother!

Their favorite things are having a tea party with goldfish, drawing, singing, dancing and helping Sadie when she is crying.

Ivory will turn 2 on July 7 and Abbie will turn 3 on December 31. Because of this Abbie's last day in the younger nursery was yesterday. They loved playing together there and it made it so much easier getting Abbie to go to nursery. Now Abbie has to go to the older nursery and Ivory is still in the younger nursery.

Hogle Zoo June 2008

What a perfect day for the zoo! In between days of blazing hot weather today was overcast with the chance of rain. Luckily for us, there was no rain. We had so much fun with Rachel, MacKay, Hunter and Sydney.

The boys had so much fun finding out where the animals came from. Mitchell and Austin were so good at keeping track of Abbie! They always made sure she could see what was going on.

I do not think the Cheetah liked Austin very much! Is he in the Cheetah's personal space?

The Cheetah is planning for his lunch menu! "BBQ Mitchell!?!"
