Bouncin Baby

Grandma's bouncer being put to good use...thanks Grandma!

Rainbow

We saw the most beautiful rainbow today. Of course these pictures don't come close to showing how beautiful it really was.

The Safer Alternative

Here's the safer way to play...(this isn't me playing now, this is before the accident)

ouch

So this is a little game I play with Akaila and Parker almost on a daily basis, until last Friday. On Friday I decided to lift Akaila up higher than usual and really work my core muscles...it would have worked fabulously had I not lost my balance and had my legs fall over my head, spraining my neck! I was SO freaked out, thought I'd broken my neck, as I was unable to move any body parts for 20 minutes or so. Luckily, it's just a sprain, and I'm wearing a neck brace that I can take off at times.

It was a really good core workout though...:-)

School

Akaila is getting so excited for school. Everyday she asks us some sort of school related question, for example: When I go to school will I take the school bus? Or Do you play at school? Eve took her shopping for some new school clothes and signed her up for preschool. Akaila is caught up on her shots, but she needs 6 more before she turns 5 years old, and she has to get them before she goes to preschool. She is not looking forward to that. Here she is modeling some clothes.
Parker here is sleeping with his toy dog. He has to have his toy dog in order to take a good nap. There is nothing more peaceful than a baby sleeping.

SWIMMING POOL

Our neighboors have a pretty big swimming pool. Akaila asked if we could get one. I told her we don't have the money or the room for one. She then countered with "I just want a little one." Me and Eve told her if she does all her chores for the week then we would get her a small one. Saturday came and she wouldn't let us forget. She played in it until she was frozen, then when she warmed up she went in again.
