Fun times

new pet

so we have a new pet. They needed a home and they're pretty nice so they came home with us. The kids hold them while they watch a show or feed then apples and carrots. I am also told they can be put on a leash for walks?

Running the bases

Training Camp 2013 ready for football!

{her latest swim}She can now swim the length of the pool in 1 minute! it's adorable. She was in heat 2 and came in either 2nd or 3rd.

 

and the 2 year old singing his ABC's with the kitty we are watching for a friend. By the way, as I was loading this video he decided to unload a whole tube of diaper cream on our couch! ggrrr good thing he's cute.

Happy 4th

The kids were in a parade with their swim team. Everyone loved their ride and Mr. really enjoyed waving to everyone.

Girly loved this pooch. The owner used hair dye for it and has to wait for it to grow out. very festive!

maybe one of our last perks with the White House. But it was a good one!

We found out that morning that the band Fun was to perform. They did a great job and we had a good time.
