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!

a video or two

 

{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.

and front row seats to the DC fireworks


Happy Independence Day

 Everyone thought they were done when the fireworks started and like us were walking away but they had one more and it was a good one!

While we were there a windy storm knocked out the power and knocked over a lot of trees and our BBQ

Girly wasn't excited about waiting and decided to climb a tree.

Lil miss was only able to make it across the pool for the first time in the morning practice before this meet. Not only did she make it across the pool in the swim meet but she won! surprise, surprise. We are so proud and excited for her!

Taylor

my sister-in-law gave us Taylor tickets for Christmas-awesome right? It was soo fun!

He was one of only a few guys but still had a great time

 

 

she was very personal and interactive with the crowd

 It was a lot of fun and good clean fun. There were a ton of little girls and teenagers and she made it very appropriate for them.
