The Brothers Three

Here is a photo I took of my dad and his two younger brothers I think it was at Easter. They have changed so much from when I was a little girl. Wish I had a picture of then too. Oh well

My babies are at Granddaddy's right now. They have camped, gone swimming, been in the garden, played with puppies and kittens, and helped Grandaddy have his very first SMORES!!!! Can you Believe that man has never had one? As many times as he took us camping and we had burnt marshmallows? They are also spending time with Aunt Brooke. She is taking them everywhere with her. Today I called because I missed them and just wanted to hear their voices (and secretly wanted to pick them up) but none of them wanted to talk to me!!! They were too afraid I was going to tell them that I was coming to get them!!! If that doesn't say they are having fun I don't know what does. Oh well who can compete with everything they have to offer over on "the farm"

So I guess it will be one more day before I can see them and then soon Mamie comes!! She will be here Tuesday while we are at Carowinds. We can't wait!!

Lookie Lookie!!!!!

We have been going to the pool so often I was kind a tired of it in the first week. Now it is a little better. Julia, Liam and Aynsley spend most of their swimming time under water which resulted in Julia getting swimmers ear and spending $109 on drops for her ears twice daily. Needless to say I think we will have waxies in their ears or put the swim drops in their ears to prevent this from happening again.

Liam, uggh he is testing his limits once again. Let's see how long it lasts this time! Aynsley is so grown up, Ross was putting sunscreen on her yesterday and she (in front of all the grown-ups) asks " what number is that?" she wanted to know the SPF!!!!!! how comical. She has also been swimming around like a little fish and jumping off the diving board. The lifeguards are always watching in amazement that someone so little is jumping off and swimming over to the ladder with no fear. That's my girl!!

Liam is a flipper, goggle wearing underwater adventurer. He always has toys to dive for and when he dives off the diving board he always let's me know that he went all the way to the bottom. His favorite dive is what he calls the pencil. He gets perfectly straight and stiff and jumps in, causing him to go in as if he were making a tear in the water and slipping right in.

Julia is a great swimmer!! I can never keep her in my view. She starts out in one spot and before I know it I am skimming the area looking to where she's gotten to next, most of the time it's in the kiddie pool playing with all the little ones. She loves babies or small children. When she is not over mothering the small ones she is going off the slide or playing ball or of course swimming under water!!! She loves summer and all it has to offer but that doesn't mean she has given up on reading. She still loves to read and is on the summer reading program with the Library.

Ross is still doing Cross Fit and loving it!! He is very motivated and is always trying to do better at each and every workout of the day. If he doesn't like his time he has a redo. I am happy that he has found something that drives him. It makes him happy and that makes me happy:)

love to you all!! Happy Summer!
