Slippin' and Slidin'

A couple of days ago, Nate bought a Slip-N-Slide for the kids. He set it up and showed them how to do it. He was very grateful for the pool at the end, so he wouldn't slide to a stop in the grass.


Braelinn had a blast! She wouldn't go on her belly, but her knees worked just fine.

Danen was not down with sliding (what 19 month old would be?), but he liked to sit down on the tarp and get sprinkled.

They had a great time. By the end, we had tons of neighborhood kids sliding too. Too bad I can't fit in my suit yet.

Okay. It has been a while since my last update. I have been taking pictures, but I've selected to sleep instead of blog. Now that I'm adjusted to less sleep, I can get everything posted.

It is quite funny the things that happen in front of me while I'm stuck in the chair feeding Rianne. This time, Danen was trying really hard to get in Braelinn's Barbie car. Naturally, he tried the door first....

But since he didn't fit, he went through the sunroof.

Next, a picture of Rianne after a trip to Bruster's. She wasn't a fan of the heat!

On the 4th of July, we went to celebrate with Grandpa Clair at his neighborhood block party. Here's Braelinn taking a drink break from all the running around.

Here's Danen pleading with each of us to play ball with him.

Rianne slept the entire time we were out there. So here's a picture back at the house once she woke up.

This is a random picture after church. I thought her outfit was so cute.

And lastly, we had a picnic after church last week. I remembered why I don't do picnics very often. Braelinn is scared of EVERY SINGLE bug that comes around. I did manage to get one happy shot of her.

Danen enjoyed his meal so much, he wouldn't even acknowledge the camera for a picture.

And finally, Rianne was sunbathing (sleeping) through the majority of the meal.

Now that you're all caught up, I'll do my best to post more often.
