Water Fight!

My dad's sister's husband's family (the Fosters) had their annual family get together last weekend and we were invited! My Aunt and Uncle moved to Gilbert a couple of months ago and have a huge backyard perfect for a water gun/balloon fight!

Let me just say that the boys in our family couldn't wait for the party!!!!! Brian stocked up on new water guns for him and Ty as well as several bags of ice (playing dirty!!)!!

Brian and Uncle Michael

Ty had a blast too!!!

Even Keira got into the game!

Keira tried several times to hit Uncle Michael with a water balloon. He waited patiently until one finally broke on his head....Good Sport, Uncle Michael!!!

Towards the end of the party, the little ones found the bucket of water and had their own fun!

Keira ended the day with a mud/dirt bath!

Happy Monday!

Swimming

Keira decided she didn't want to wear her swim vest this summer because she wants to "swim on her own like brother." This means she has to hold a noodle or a kick board to get around. Last week she decided she didn't want to use the noodle or board anymore and was ready to swim on her own ("with no help, mommy!")...and she did!!! While it is still a short distance, she "swims on her own" the entire time we are in the pool and has a very hard time waiting on the step so brother can play games too!!

She is such a water dog!!!

Tyler is swimming really well! He loves when daddy throws him in the air! His favorite game is sea hunters (he made it up and normally mommy is a sea creature that needs to be caught!).
