Summer Fun

One of the great things about living in a desert is that it comes with a longer-than-normal outdoor swimming season! A few weeks ago, the Hickens invited us over to swim with them in their backyard pool.

A cute shot of the girls enjoying the water!

Christopher and Michael are becoming quite the swimmers (of course, a little floatation help never hurts!)

Christopher was even kind enough to share some of his swimming/diving expertise with the rest of the crowd!

What is THAT?

Bethany likes to put stuff in her mouth. Apprently, she is strong enough to yank up some weedy looking grass and sneak it into her mouth when Mom isn't looking. I didn't discover it until twenty minutes later when she was having difficulty eating.

Six months

Bethany is six months old now. She is sitting up and loves it--until she falls over. She was blowing bubbles in the tub the other day with Christopher and Michael and bent down a little too far--Splash! Tub time ended early that day. Christopher loves to act silly to make Bethany laugh. He is a great helper with her. Michael likes to help make baby food for Bethany. We have a little baby food grinder, and he loves to turn the little crank for me. Bethany just likes eating her bananas and oatmeal.
