We're Having a Heat Wave...

It's been hot hot hot here in Houston!! We've been finding relief anywhere we can. Here's Grant at the Grocery Store where he got his face painted with a baseball. He thought it was the coolest thing EVER!!


Reed got a basketball. Too cool dude!!
Jeff's cousin Cody came in from Canada because he and his family are moving back!! He came a week before his mom and brothers so we took him to Noah's Ark!


It's a super cool pool at a church closer into town. You pay $6 and can stay all day. The boys LOVED it!! (even the big slide)


The main attraction in the middle is an "ark" with a slide. The water is only calf-deep so it's really safe for kids who are not expert swimmers. (Grant coming off the slide)




Cody and Reed





It was soooooooo HOT that day. Anne was just chillin' on the edge of the pool keeping an eye on everyone. We played a fun game while we were hanging out. Having both been teachers, we would pick out the kids that we KNEW would be TROUBLE in the classroom. They are so easy to spot.



The guys going up the rope ladder for another turn down the slide.




This is the bottom of the twisty slide.




Grant man!




We also got to go to my friend Kristen's house and play for the day. :) My boys love all toys that are not theirs. Reed was just in LOVE with this Dora music player, pink headphones and all.



The main reason we went over there was for this cool slide. (And the wonderful company)




This thing is SOOOOOOOO cool!! The boys loved climbing up to the top with Riley and Jack and going to town. Thanks again Ramsey family!! (Reed coming down the slide)




Reed going up the middle, Grant going down the slide.



The boys have come really far with swimming this summer. They started off not really swimming at all. Now they can swim all over the pool with water wings. They can also swim a little without them. We are still taking lessons to help the "without" part.


We can even be thrown in and make it out ok. Jeff likes to jump into the deep end with them, I'm not ok with this.

Reed loves to jump off the edge. It makes Jeff nervous..

I LOVE the boys! They are the cutest! How funny about living near Krahn, we are 5 minutes from you! In fact, I was the Diagnostician at Krahn for 5 years (that was a few years ago now)! What a great school! We need to get together!
