Jack Carter Pool

We met some friends down at Jack Carter pool in Plano.  It's a great public pool with lots of fun slides for the kids to play on and a shaded zero entry area for the mommies and babies.

She is fearless when it comes to water slides.

They would do the slide then swim back around to the steps then do it again...over and over.

Harper and her Muscles

Harper has moved from the swimming ring to water wings or "muscles" as she calls them.  She loves going off the diving board at Mimi & Papa's pool.





This picture cracks me up because she was trying to get away from "Charlie" the pool sweeper in the bottom of the pool.

Multi-Generations

A few weekends ago, the kids and I headed up to Paris while Jeff was out of town for football.
In the mornings, my dad likes to take Harper over to Grandma Jane's house which is at the end of my parents driveway. Harper likes to eat breakfast with her Great Great Grandmother and help feed the birds.  This morning, she and her baby doll got a ride back to the house from Grandma.  I hope that I'm this active when I'm 102!

So thankful for my family. 

Catching Up

Football season has started and it's been pretty busy around here.  I was recently told that my blog was broken because it hadn't been updated in 3 weeks!  Oops. I have lots of life and pics to catch up on so bear with me.
We enjoyed some playtime at the mall one hot afternoon before Jeff went back to school.

So Harper has been getting up really early every day - usually before 6 a.m.  Whew that makes for a long day! I tried this trick to cover up the minutes on her clock and tell her that she can come out of her room when the numbers matched.  It didn't work...

Little Daredevil

Harper discovered the diving board at Mimi & Papa's house last weekend. Once she got the hang of it there was no stopping her.



Brody just chilled on the side while watching Harper.

A look of determination



Love this pic that you can see her eyes open underwater.

Such a big girl!

Squeaky Clean

Brody loves bath time just like his sister. Most of the time they get a bath together but here was a rare time for him to play by himself and not have her stealing his toys.




Love these cheeks!

Pool Time in Paris

It's been so hot the last few weeks, the only way to stay cool is in the pool!

I'm so thankful that I put Harper in swim lessons at the beginning of the summer because she is doing great and loves the water!

Aunt Carol & Brody

Harper loves these "muscles" and motors all over the pool with them on.

My little water baby.


Thankful that Carol was able to come in for the weekend!
