Swimming, Dirt, and dump trucks

The pool opened this week! Okay, so I really miss our little subdivision salt water pool we had in Boise. It was uncrowded, we could bring toys, and for a month there, incredibly warm. But, the next best thing is living across the street from the park that has the pool. I love that its a zero entry pool and the shallow area is big. I need to buy Lucy a new sun hat. Meanwhile, she is sporting this almost too small one that our very nice neighbor gave us last year. Those 90th percentile heads are sometimes hard to find hats for! Isak LOVES the water and is very comfortable in it, he has no fear of jumping right in. This is not always a good thing
And meanwhile, I have TONS of dirt in my front yard that is being dumped in the huge gaping hole in my backyard, formerly the pool.

This dirt has led to multiple baths a day for these kiddos...and all the neighbor kids too. This dump truck has been quite the spectacle in our yard. Our poor elderly neighbor looked pretty darn nervous the first time Kevin came driving in our yard with this. I am pretty sure she thought we were going to dump it all over her car in her driveway, actually, I was pretty sure that is what was going to happen too. But, alas, Kevin apparently has some great dump truck moving skills and nothing was harmed.



Anyone want to come play in some dirt? It will probably be there until tomorrow afternoon!


That is Isak on the end, sporting his lumberjack plaid shirt, open chest, with the turtle pj bottoms. What can I say, its how that kid rolls.

We miss you guys so much. Even more so now that the weather is getting warm, and we can think about swimming. It looks like the kids are having a great time in Othello. I wish we were there with you to play in that dirt.... Finn'd be in heaven!!! Well, really, his tummy would be- the kid loves to eat dirt.
Maybe first borns don't have much fashion sense??? Aiden often wears mis-matched things. On purpose.

Miss you!!!

How exciting to be getting your hard all fixed up and in the mean time your children are having a blast. Too fun! The pool looks like fun too. Cut pictures in the last post taken by your friend.

Those huge dirt piles look really really fun actually! My kids would love it!
