SCHWIMMIN'

It is scorching hot in Portland today, and yesterday my car temp said it reached 108, so thus we've been hitting the pool.
Here's some cute pix of the bunch. Some are at Grandma's farm pool, and some at a friends party.

ava's change

We are almost through with potty training, but for some reason, Ava loves diapers and won't give them up. She can even put one on herself. I have stopped buying them, but since she uses it like a pull up and doesn't wet it, she just recycles it for the next day. So, one morning when she woke up, I was helping her pull it down, and out fell about $2.00 in pennies and nickles. She was still dry, but had slept the entire night with a huge handful a change in her diaper. The best part was the circle imprints left all over her bottom.
I know, I know, the puns are coming .....
Q: What do diapers and politicians have in common?
A: They both need to be changed regularly... and for the same reason.

yeah that was a stinker....
ok, I'll stop.

alaska by boat

Here's a few pix of our cruise to Alaska. We are celebrating our 10 year anniversary this year. We had a very relaxing time, I didn't make a single meal, I slept in and ate too much, and thoroughly enjoyed a whole week with Nic. A Huge shoutout to Rich and Paula for keeping the girls all week. The only downside is the swaying feeling I'm still having after being on a boat all week. I'm trying to shake it, any ideas?
