Mini Van!!

OKAY! So I am officially a soccer mom now. I have been having van fever so I went and bought a new Honda Odyssey MiniVan. So far we are loving it. Elena loves all of the extra space and she thinks she is free to roam all over. Barrett had her so pumped up before I brought it home, I thought she was going to wet herself over her new car. This will be great for our Disney World trips and our shopping days with Grandma and Aunt Krissy.

Slip and Slide

We pulled out the Slip and Slide today for the first time this summer. Elena loved it. The water was freezing, but she didn't care. She didn't have her bathing suit on so Barrett just let her play on it without her clothes on. She didn't get the concept of running and then sliding so Barrett had to play with her to try to show her how to do it. He didn't use the slip and slide for long though because the water was so cold. Moma passed by with Hailey in the car. She jumped out and started playing with Elena. Hailey would run and fall on her knees without ever actually getting on her stomach or back. She played on the slip and slide with Elena for probably 15-20 minutes and never once did her hair get wet!

Pool Time Fun

Elena loves being outside. This summer she has spent practically everyday in the pool. She swims everyday at school and then still wants to swim on the weekends with us. She doesn't get nearly this much excitement with me though. She makes me sit on the steps with her and play while she will swim all around with Barrett.
