FUN LITTLE PHOTO SHOOT

I DECIDED TO TAKE PICTURES OF MY KIDS MYSELF, SINCE THEY BOTH SEEM TO HATE PHOTOGRAPHERS! IT WAS SO FUN! WE WENT OUT TO MY MOMS AND I LOVE 4TH OF JULY STUFF, SINCE IT IS MY BIRTHDAY! BUT THE FUNNIEST PART OF THE WHOLE THING WAS WHEN DAX DECIDED HE WOULD FIND OUT A WAY TO PULL TYISE BEHIND THE TRIKE. SO HE SAT ON THE HANDLE OF THE WAGON AND ATTEMPTED TO PULL HER BEHIND HIM. IT DIDN'T WORK TO WELL, SO GRANDMA GOT HIM A ROPE TO TIE IT TO HIM. IT WAS SO CUTE! HE JUST RODE AROUND PULLING HER.

swimming at home.

we seem to live in front of our house in these little swimming pools. it's so fun that i finally have my own house so my kids are able to do this! i love it and i love our neighborhood. although we bug jared and heidi on a daily basis (my kids just LOVE them) we have so many fun neighbor kids that come swim and hang out. and honestly it's nice for me to talk to an adult during the day! we love it! and i love tysie's little swim suit! but she's getting to skinny! i need to fatten her up again! and dax! oh dax. we play fetch in the swimming pools. i guess having our massive dog and we play fetch with him quite a bit, dax has decided when we are swimming that he's a dog also. so he brings me the ball in his teeth and i throw it into the swimming pool (he's quite particular on which pool too, if i throw it in the wrong one i get in trouble) and he picks it up with his teeth and brings it back! he does it for hours! i just think anyone watching has got to be laughing their head off!
