| Sweet Ellie Grace |
 |
| Isn't she adorable! |
 |
| Jumping to Mimi! |
 |
| Ellie is a little fish! |
 |
| Check out Judson...you cannot go to the pool without your cowboy hat! |
 |
| Gailee, Mimi, and Jay |
 |
| Aunt Gail finally convinced Jud to jump in! |
 |
| Eli and I watching the fun from the shaded, dry, sidelines |
 |
| Gailee and Mimi waiting to catch Jay |
 |
| Gailee was 2 when Wes and I got married...I cannot believe she is big enough to babysit my child! |
 |
| Jay and Ellie discussing their next move |
 |
| Jay avoided going under water at all costs. |
 |
| Now its Eli's turn |
 |
| He enjoyed it, to my surprise...he was smiling here. |
 |
| Mimi and Gramma with their sweet boys |
 |
| Notice the cowboy didn't get in the water without his gun! |
 |
| So cute! |
 |
| Gailee keeping my baby happy |
 |
| So much fun! |
 |
| Such a good picture of Mom and Aunt Gail with their babies! |
 |
| Eli is worn out! |
 |
| Taking a break |
 |
| Apparently Judson is not a fan of cherries! |
 |
| Hilarious! |
 |
| What a life |
 |
| And now they are back at it! |
 |
| Dinner date. |
 |
| Back at home, playing in the yard |
 |
| I was going to only post one of these but I just couldn't decide...he is just so darn cute! |
 |
| This is what happened after I left Jay to get his own snack while I fed Eli |
We had a short visit with Mimi last weekend and spent Saturday at Aunt Gail's swimming with cousins. Mom, Dad, Kurt, and I spent countless days at Uncle Cleveland and Aunt Gail's pool growing up. It was so much fun and, I now realize, our parent's strategic plan to wear us out so they could come home to peace. So many of my favorite childhood memories are the fun Josh, Clay, Kurt, and I always had swimming in this pool. It is such a blessing that our kids can enjoy the same thing together. They had the best time, as they always do when they're together, but this time it really felt like I was reliving those sweet memories again. And I can't wait until Eli is running around with all of them!
