Summer Fun...

I just recently found these pictures on Mom's camera.  It's nice that she has a camera at her house to catch moments when I don't have mine (most of the time) at her house, but I really need to get the pictures off of it more often.  Anyway, that being said, here are some from this past summer...makes me look forward to playing outside all the time again soon!!

These two have already logged countless hours of ball :)

Can't beat watching a movie at Mimmy's with cousins!

Different game with a ball...Roll...



and run...

and do it again!

Don't know what they are doing here, but it looks serious.

And to really finish the summer off with a bang, every family swim party needs a balloon artist!!!  Yes, a balloon artist really came to my parents' pool for just the five cousins.  However, I must explain that she was hired for Tori while she was in the hospital, but she couldn't go to the hospital because of latex allergies.  So since she had already been paid, why not come to a regular Saturday of swimming :)  Unfortunately, we don't have Jeff's face documented of when she walked out to the pool!  Jenny had not told Jeff beforehand, so needless to say he was a little confused since this is not a regular at the family swim day.  And really the best part of it all was that the balloon artist also saw Jeff's reaction, which she interpreted as a laugh, which obviously would make anyone defend themselves. Ha Ha!  The rest of the time she was there, she proceeded to tell us the awards she had won, how much she made last year, the amount and size of her house, and other special tidbits in order to prove to Jeff and all the men that this is a legitimate job.  It was hilarious.  Anyway, I know that was a long explanation, but I want to remember it :)  But needless to say, our kids loved it, and they kept her busy her whole allotted time!

Madison intrigued...and probably a little confused :)

Look at Jeff in the background laughing at the poor woman...just kidding!

I think Sam had something made, but I guess we didn't get a picture, and I don't remember what he got.  Anyway, the kids really had fun and got some pretty neat balloons!
