While we were on our uneccessary trip I spoke of a couple of posts below we decided to check out the zoo in the area because we knew they had something ours doesn't. PANDAS. Chloe LOVES Panda's. Papa joined us in the fun. The Treasures loved having him along.

Caitlyn loves balloons. I am thankful the dollar store has them for $1.00. :) Occasionally we get her one. You would think we bought her the most special present. She named this one Smiley. Very original.;) It was a HE. He went everywhere with us for a few days. He got tucked in at night. Of course she took him out one too many times and he went to Heaven. I thought of Maria when he did.

I never tire of the games they come up with by the pool. Last week was one of the first weeks it was warm enough to stay out until dusk, swimming. That is my favorite time for them to swim; then just come up, put on jammies, read a bedtime story, pray and go to sleep. I know some people think Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, but for me, I love Summer...

  • Looks like you guys are enjoying some nice weather. I love the pool pics...makes me feel like I am right there!

  • Summer is my most favorite also. Having your own pool Greg says is like living in a hotel. I don't think I COMPLETELY feel that way because no one has ever brought me room service! LOL

    Doesn't Caitlyn look like she has really grown? The pictures of her standing beside the pool...wow!...she looks so tall. They are all so beautiful and yes we love those nights too...play...swim...take a bath...have a snack...go to bed!! Awesome!

  • Beautiful Pictures Connie. The kids all look so happy and the Panda's at the Zoo..how cool is that?! I too love your pool. Wish we had one...that waterfall looks amazing. Thanks for sharing and hope the rest of your weekend is as wonderful. Caitlyn and her balloon is so precious. Every time I back onto our alley Maria pops into my mind.

    What great pictures! I love Chloe's toothless grin. We are going to the Memphis Zoo this summer to see the pandas too. I can't wait! Thanks for sharing your family with us.

  • You are lucky you are already enjoying summer weather! (I'm bundled up in a sweatshirt and using coffee to keep myself warm in Seattle today.) Boy, does it look like your children are having fun in that beautiful pool! Your littlest treasure has the same build as my daughter; petite and delicate. :)

  • Wow, just found your site and love it! Your layouts are wonderful and your pictures are fabulous!

    Hopefully some of that warm weather will start coming our way. Still to chilly for swimming.

    I'll be checking in often.

    I like you keep thinking about Maria.

    Try to email me and see if it comes through since I couldn't get mine out to you. Thanks so much again! :)

  • Such gorgeous work and such very, very beautiful subjects. I love watchiing your family grow. I am so glad you are savoring these moments. I took pictures all the time when the kids were growing up. Sadly, I didn't know how to scrapbook then or properly save photos and boy, my cameras and camera skills were nothing to brag about. This time goes by so fast. I'm glad you are enjoying it.
    Summer is the bomb!!!!

  • I'm with you on the fave season of summer! As we look at homes, we are drawn to places with pools...sigh. Great photos of the fun!

    By Blogger Unknown, at June 2, 2008 at 3:36 PM  

  • Absolutely beautiful. You are so talented with a camera!!!!

    Hope you have a summer filled with days like this.

    Have a wonderful week,
