Zeke wasn't sure he wanted to join in, but it looked so fun
he couldn't resist. 

 We got some new neighbors this year with a boy Gabe's age.  She is really fun and creative...which is good since my creativity has disappeared.  This was a water fight, shaving cream fight.

Gabe did not change his mind...he did not want to get messy
I think what is on him is only because I wiped it on him, trying
to show him that it was fun....he didn't think so...but he didn't
mind getting other people messy



Water sponges!



Water balloons...their favorite...Gabe still only wanted to play
the one sided game...let me get you, but don't get me...k

Muscles! 

This was as much as Gabe was going to do with the slip and
slide...at first he would only stand and squish the side
to change the height of the spraying water.

the boys weren't too sure about landing on their stomachs

Malachi was not a snuggly baby, but after her turned 1, he
started giving lovies...and he gives some of the best hugs
ever now...he still doesn't want to be rocked at bedtime
or anything but he will cuddle up or give lovies and hugs
all the time...he is such a sweet boy

We have actually had a lot of double rainbows this year...
I can't remember if I posted the one that Zeke came out of the
store and said, Look, God made a beautiful rainbow for us
(Look how nicely our grass came in!)

Here is Brigham digging the footings for what eventually will
be his shed....he was really excited...it ended up being a
bigger project than we had planned because of the leveling
of our yard, but we did it.

Rub a dub, dub!  My 3 babies in the tub!
