Might As Well JUMP!!!

The kids love the trampoline, and they are getting really good at acrobatics.



Here are a couple of videos of them jumping -- Lindsey cracks me up so much!!!

Busted! The boys were caught playing with Lindsey's princesses!

Joseph slumbered while they played, looking very long and lean in the Boston Red Sox onesie from his Massachussetts Cox family. (Don't worry Georgia family -- he also wears his Atlanta Braves outfit!)

Splash!

In spite of my horror at the thought of all the germs floating around in public pools, I was convinced by 3 very eager swimmers to allow them to go to the splash pool for family home evening. They of course had a wonderful time, while I sat there paranoid about what might be lurking around.


I didn't get many photos, unfortunately . . . too much worrying. But it was Joseph's first time, so I did snag a couple of shots of him, looking so cute in his swimming duds. (Courtesy of Aunt Manda.)

Nathaniel has become the bravest kid I know this summer. He had no fear at Disneyland, and now he will ride the big slides at the pool all by himself. Over and over and over. Now I think his only fear is vegetable matter.

Birthday Love

Thanks to my family, the only people on earth who can make getting ANOTHER year older a fun time. Chris and Matt hooked me up with a delicious Baskin Robbins ice cream cake, complete with my absolute favorite flavor ice cream inside -- chocolate fudge. The kids helped me blow out the candles.


Even though this photo is blurry and shadowy, I had to post it. Chris swears he gave Joseph the tiniest little smidge of ice cream, but somehow it ended up everywhere.

Hugs and kisses for mom.
