Summer Activities

This June, we have spent a lot of time at the swimming pool.  It is the outdoor pool at MVP Athletic Club where I have also been taking classes.  I go work out for an hour in the morning or afternoon and they go play in the Kiddie Gym while they wait.  Then we all get our suits on and go for a swim for a few hours there after.   We pack a snack, some books to read and water to drink and we are all set.  The kids love it and I love that I can see where they are and have life guards to help keep an eye on them just in case.  Here are a few pictures of Rachel and Gracie in the pool.

When the iPad first came out, Ryan bought one for he and I to share.  The kiddos have since learned how to use it and we have downloaded some kid friendly games and books.  I must say it is nice to have at doctor appointments and places where they need to be quiet (if they are not fighting over it).  They can watch movies, play games and/or listen to picture books.  Here are a few pictures of the triplets while they are listening to a picture book together.

Our Cute Gracie and Her Lost Tooth

We love our little Gracie.  She loves to dress up to go run errands.  You can also see that Rachel is dressed up as well behind her.  There are many times that we have done to the store, library, doctor or dentist appointments and to the park and they get dressed up for the even.

In June,  Gracie was the first to lose her top teeth.  She was so excited to get money from the tooth fairy.  Joshua was so disappointed his teeth weren't lose enough to come out that he had his dad try and pull them out, but they just weren't ready.  She now has a very cute smile and loves to show people that her top teeth are gone.

Kindergarten Graduation

This year was Jaxen, Joshua and Gracie's Kindergarten Graduation.  They were sooo excited to have mom and dad come to see their classroom and see the songs and activities that were prepared for their special day.  Here are some pictures of the big event.

Joshua Roller Skating in Therapy

Joshua has been going to physical therapy since he was 1 years old.  He acts like it is a lot of work and boring, but when we get there he is all smiles and does everything they ask.  Recently, they have been working on balance and control using roller skates.  He loves to come out and show all of us what he can do.

Bandaids

At our house, band aids are wonderful.  It doesn't matter if they are brown, colorful or if they have pictures all over them,  they can make any injury feel better.   It doesn't matter if it's a scratch, cut, or just hurt feelings, the kids love them.

Here is a picture of Gracie after she was bumped in the mouth.  She just would not rest until I had given her a couple band aids to put over her wound.

Roller Skating

Morgan's school had a Family Night of free roller skating.  We decided to take all the kiddos and see what they could do.  At first they were afraid of falling, so they wouldn't get out and try, but when it was their turn for the skate aids they all loved it and didn't want to leave.  Some of the pictures are a little blurry due to the movement and poor camera, but you can see how much fun they had.

Say Cheese!

All the kids love to pose for the Camera.  Here are some random shots of Morgan and Jaxen posing for Ryan after church.
