::FINALLY, a warm day::

It was such a warm day today! We were all so excited that we HAD to get out the swimsuits, towels, sunscreen, and SPRINKLER!!

We played with Portie's new Buzz sprinkler that he got for his birthday (from Brandon & Stef). It's pretty neat! It has a handle you can move to make the water come and when it comes out it shoots Buzz's rocket in the air. The kids LOVED it!

Coop didn't really love it as much as the other 2. He wanted to. He kept going over to the sprinkler, touch the water, and then kinda cry on his way back over to my lap. He did that about a million times.

I think the cold and the wet was just not as fun for him. So he and I mostly just watched.

The other two squealed, giggled, ran around, and had a great time.

And when we were ready for a break...

ahhhhhhh, what a beautiful day!

We're glad we soaked it all in before the 30 degree temp drop tomorrow :(

This is what happens when you try to do

back handsprings on the trampoline with your 6 year old...

In my defense, I don't really know how to do a back handspring.

I just kind of did it. Twice.

And I landed on my face. Twice.

It hurt.

Now I know that Chloe deserves A LOT more credit for how well she does 'em! It's not easy! She was so funny when I was doing them too. I kept telling her I was scared and she would just laugh "what are you scared of?" I landed on my face, and she kinda laughed, "Mom, you have to have strong arms!" I landed on my face again, and she said "Mom!!, how come you can't do it, you just do this (and she did a perfect one for me). Then I decided I'm either too old, or I don't take her direction very well, and I quit.
