Father's Day Cookout at GiGi's

When I got to GiGi's that day, I gave the kids toys and they played on the floor :) They are getting so big now and can really play together! Usually they just steal each other's toys and then scream, but it's really neat to watch them be able to communicate with each other and interact!

GiGi blew up the pool and we took the kids swimming. We decided to just throw them in naked and Jason once again threw in the "white trash" comment :) But, they had fun so that's what matters!

Kash, Bethanie, Jace, and Jeremy came over and Kash got in also! It took a little coaxing, but he agreed to join them with his diaper on! Then he decided that the diaper didn't matter too much, so we had a bunch of naked babies swimming everywhere :) Kash has grown so much! Even though he's just a little over 10 months older than the twins, he's already 30 pounds! Almost twice their size! He is definitely going to be a big kid! So cute!

Gigi got Kason and Kash some matching camo pants :)

We took our yearly bridge photo! We wish Sarah and Miriam were in the picture also!

G-Ma is playing pattycake with Kason!

When it came time for bedtime, Grandma and Grandpa Donnell (whom we are now calling G-Ma and G-Pa...they came up with their "names") fed the twins their bottles. These pictures are priceless and will always be remembered!

Kinley got her ears pierced!

The day before Father's Day, we had a cookout at GiGi's for Father's Day....Jason's first one! Before we went, I went to get my hair done and Jason and GiGi took Kinley to Wal-Mart and got her ears pierced to surprise me! I was VERY excited! I didn't actually want to take her myself, but I did want it done :)
They are almost completely healed and it's only been a week, and they haven't bothered her at all.....ever. They look adorable!




Bubba waited in the cart and did a great job! (At least that's what I hear!)

Here she is showing off her new studs :)

Swimming Lessons

The kids have now been to 3 "Diaper Dolphins" classes at Miller Swim School. We had to miss today because we are out of town, but last Friday, Nick came with Parker while Kelly took pictures and a video of the lesson :) The kids love it and we really like the instructor, too! We sing lots of cute songs, toss them in the air, float on our backs, practice getting out of the pool at the side, fall into the water, try to blow bubbles in the pook, ride on the "ducky", go through the tunnel on our backs, and we row, row, row, row, row, row our arms & kick our legs!

What a pretty girl :)

Brooke got Kinley a super cute dress and a matching bow with a little "k" on it! Here she is posing in her new stuff!

Pool Time

Since the kids love the water so much, we got them a pool and a splash pad. They love splashing around in it, and we even do bathtime in it sometimes :) Here we are giving the kids their baths. Jason thinks it's white trash, but I think it's cute!

Playtime in the Park "AKA - Kristin's Backyard"

A lot of us girls got together and decided taking 4 babies to Big Splash would be crazy, so we got the idea to have a playtime with water things in someone's backyard! The kids loved it, we loved it, and it was free. We will definitely have more of these playdates and we might even fill up the pool next time!

I have no idea what I'm doing here!

Kinley and the boys playing at the water table!

Where is the water at, boys?

"We're still looking for the water"

"Where did everyone go?"

Cap and Kinley

Well, lucky for you guys, we did put a tiny bit of ICE COLD water into the pool for you! Go ahead, swim.

A little mad about the bright sun....

My sweet babies!
