7 peaks

7 peaks has become one of our favorite summer hang outs. My kids love this place. After 2-3 hours of swim*swim*swimming they are wiped out and so am I!
My crew.
Just the kids.
My biggest fish. He is growing up way too fast.
Max decided that he wanted to go off the yellow slide. . . I decided I could handle that. A mom's got to let her little fish grow right?? Then. . .he decided he wanted to do the blue slide. WOW. I told myself. . . he can't be my baby forever. . . I thought I could handle that. . . .
This is the picture of the blue slide experience. . .
and this. . .
I thought my heart was going to pound out of my chest. I tried to take a picture, but. . but. . but. . I was too busy gasping for air as he was catching air of his own. He's only 6!! OK. . .almost 7 and growing up way too fast.
Max rather proud of himself.Alexander. This kid loves the camera.
Barrett. Taking a break.
These two have so much fun with each other. I don't know what they would ever do without one another.
Crazy Jacq. She's posing underwater.
Jacq loving life with her dad.
Well. . those are my babies. . .all four of them. . .and I decided no matter how old they are or how daring they become they will always be my babies. :)

Lazy days of summer

I seriously just love it that summer just happens for a kid. There is no work or preparation it just sunshine and swimsuits.
BACKYARD SMORES
FIREWORKS.
My pyro children can not get enough of fireworks. All 5 of them. Not the one in my tummy. The big one I call hubby. :)
YEP. I love these days. And. . sun burnt faces. Cheesy grins. Little lady's big belly. Nothing to do but let the hose run . . . no where to go but the swimming pool. I heart summer.
