Swimmin', slidin', and havin' fun!

With this nice weather we have been outside a lot! We have loved swimming, playing in the sprinklers, playing on our playground, going to the park, and tons of other fun activities.
The kids are all ready to go swimming at the hotel...

The kids were excited for their new Toy Story slip-n-slide...This is how Kylie started to slide, but with a couple tries she did it the real way and was a pro.

Peyton slid like this for maybe 1 time...

...then liked to slide standing up for the rest of the time.

The kids liked playing with the flower sprinkler that sprays everywhere...


I had to stick these pictures in because they are so cute.
The kids are all ready for next year...Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Nelson!


And lately I have been staining this playground. I have never done anything like that before, so I was real proud of myself. It turned out great and looks new again!
More fun in the sun to follow through the summer!!!!! :)

That playground looked like a big job! You go! I was thinking of you on my run this morning...training for your marathon and I was dying with my two little miles and I wanted to lay on the sidewalk and cry! I cannot even fathom your super powers.

Way to go on the playground! Looks like something my kids would absolutely love! You're the best mom! I love the picture of all your kids in the Jazz jersey's. SO cute!

Yea for nice weather! Send some heat up north would you? Still feels like April here. Great job staining, it does look new! Quite the project isn't it?! After staining our fence last year, I told Jordan he's doing it next! :)

Just caught up. You have the cutest, sweetest kids! They look like such good buddies! It's so nice that you have such a sweet, helpful oldest child to set an example for the rest! And nice work on staining the playground.

We've been out of town and busy lately. Sorry, I just remembered about talking to you on the phone! My number is 509-448-4278. Call whenever you have a chance, and I'd love to talk.

I love the slip-n-slide pics - my kids would love one of those and a nice swing set in the back yard. Your staining job looks great...:) Glad your fam is doing well.
