We finally made it to the splash pad this year. They expanded the area and I was pleasantly surprised to see just how big they made it. The kid's didn't seem to remember it from last year but they still enjoyed it. Reagan is definitely the most conservative when it comes to water play. She reminds me of one of those girls who doesn't want to get her hair wet for fear that something will look out of place. The other 3 kids don't have a care in the world when it comes to water play, they are there to get wet!

The above pictures were from Father's Day. We went to the local park where they had a train ride for the kids, tattoos and a free picnic lunch. Everyone had a really nice time. The kids really liked the tattoos and didn't want to wash them off.

Kaycee is Walking!

At 14 months old she is finally walking! She really had us all fooled. We had early intervention out here a few times because even her pediatrician was concerned about her muscle tone. I guess she was just doing things on her own time table. Needless to say we had a lovely Occupational Therapist visit for about 30 minutes before Kaycee was completely discharged LOL!

Kaycee isn't talking yet but she mimics a lot of sounds and she loves to clap, wave and point. She is such a petite little girl. She is still wearing some 6 month clothing. She has 9 teeth and loves to eat crackers and chicken nuggets. She is a little princess and her laugh is contagious especially when she does her Revenge of the Nerds laugh.

Waterslide

We are having a fantastic visit from GG. The kids were able to cool off on our new inflatable slide during the crazy heat wave. The slide was so much fun and there was plenty of room for the adults to sit down and cool off too. We also made it out to a real swimming pool! I can't tell you how nervous I am when it comes to swimming pools. From day one I have been outnumbered. I have only done swimming trips when I have one or two extra hands and even then it is nerve wracking. The kids have new Puddle Jumper life jackets, or as they call them "Dragon Floaties" and they gave me such peace of mind. They are coast guard approved life jackets and so much better than those darn swim rings we used last year. The big kids did numerous laps in the big pool all by themselves and they were so very proud to be swimming on their own. Of course GG and Aunt Shirley were there to lend a hand so it was a very relaxed pool trip. We also did a trip to the Children's Museum and went to the petting zoo. I have to say that GG and I are exhausted but for some reason the kids keep going like little Energizer bunnies.

Little Kaycee is walking! She can take about 30 steps. She can even make it around a corner and bend down & get back up. She is still doing more crawling than walking but I know that will change very soon. I promise to get a video of her on the blog ASAP.
