No Schedule!!!

One of my favorite parts about summer is the chance that a day might just happen when absolutely NOTHING is on the calendar.  That NEVER happens during the school year.  We had an amazing day of doing "absolutely nothing".  I felt a bit like Seinfeld, but at 10:00 am we were outside riding bikes without me saying, "only 15 minutes until we need to go get ready to go to _____________."


I am not sure what was happening with those goggles, but doesn't she remind you of snoopy when he was pretending his doghouse was an airplane?


Ryan's "new" bike is now 3 months old, but he still calls it his new bike and thinks our street is a 
motocross racetrack.


Chloe thinks she is too old for candid shots so wants to make sure she is posed and poised for her picture.


Yes......life is good...sitting in the shade, and sipping crystal light...maybe Seinfeld had  it right all along, maybe sometimes "absolutely nothing" is perfect!!!

Happy 4th of July

Actually it's the 3rd of July, but who cares, right!  
We had a wonderful day at Grandpa and Grandma Shupe's.



The company is always great at Grandpa and Grandma's House....but let's face it....we LOVE to swim!

We also LOVE our silly Grandpa in his flippers and mask.

Grandpa just got this amazing underwater camera and we got to be "test" subjects.

Chloe IN the water!
 
 
 Ryan on top of the water!


Ryan IN the water!


Ryan showing off how high he can jump, and Grandpa showing off his great photography skills!

 
 
Callista is the fish out of water.  She doesn't like the water, doesn't care to be in it, 
and if you try to take her out in it....she SCREAMS!!!!!

 
I thought this was as good as it was going to get
BUT........

 
 she made it on the first step!  Hooray!  But then another surprise......


 UNBELIEVABLE...she actually got her shoulders wet.  
Great job sweetie!
 
The only thing missing from our 4th of July was Dad....we miss you!!!!
