Dive in Movie Night

One of our many...fun and wonderful... swim team activities is the Dive in Movie night.

We set up the big screen...bring drinks and popcorn..and the kids BYOR (bring your own raft) to float in the pool and watch the movie!

 It is a great way to spend a hot, summer night...with friends in the pool!

 Swim team have been so much work...but I know I will miss it when it's over...it has been one fun thing after another!

Mock swim meet

The swim team gathered for our mock meet tonight!

 Rollins has improved so much from last year and I was so proud of him!

 Rollins and Braden were so proud of each other...precious, as always!

 Riggs was ready to take the first plunge....

 and was amazing!

 They were excited to check their times! I can't wait to see what the season brings!

Memorial Day 2012

We dressed in Red, White, & Blue and headed to the pool this memorial day!

 It was a blast....we had a red, white and blue parade and all!

Later we headed to Bumpa and Grandpa's for a little family time!

The littles ended up having some back yard water fun!

We ended the night with  impromptu back yard smores with the Timmerings and thankful hearts for such a great day and for all the sacrifices made for the freedoms we have!

The pool is open!

The pool is open and we had the best time getting back in the water!

Old friends and new friends gathered with the DJ playing our favorite tunes!

 I love how we can just bop up to the pool for an instant play date with....well... it's always a surprise!

 You just never know who is going to walk through the gate and that is so fun!

Happy Pool time to you and yours this summer!

Schaffner pool is open!

We took our first dip in the Schaffner's pool today...Riggs said it was the first of a million!

back in the water

The girls started swim lessons in the hopes that they will be ready for the pool by the time the pool is ready for them. Wish us luck!

All American fun!

Our fourth of July was perfect! It was full of all American fun...friends, pool, yummy food, and fireworks! The court gang gathered at Regina's ...the girls had a ball on the trampoline...their giggles literally filled the air!

Everyone had a ball in the pool! The boys had races....

Sara Riley taught Riggs a new trick...

The slide was the place to be...as littles came down it...splashing into the water all afternoon long!

It really was just a fun afternoon!

We changed and reconvened for dessert and fireworks!

Our manly men....observing the scene! The funniest thing was that without thinking about it, Jeremy put on a t shirt that said Ireland on it...so not the best" proud to be an American" choice so he got made fun of all day..it was so funny!

As night got closer we got out the sparklers...the littles gathered like there was one sparkler to share for 25 kids...but we had plenty!

We had quite the display...from the traditional fountain fireworks....

to plenty of big daddys that lit up the sky!

The night was complete when every little boy had caught a parachute man! Happy fourth...we are so blessed to live in this great country where you can have perfect days just like the one we had!
