Pool and Papa Thom

Every summer we look forward to the pool and yet we never seem to get there enough!!!  

This year, Addi was ready for the water!  Sometimes too ready.  By the end of pool season she was right in there with the big kids :)  and always asking "go?" which meant she was ready to jump in (even if you weren't)

We had pool dates with lots of different friends (this was the only time I remembered my camera!) They were quite funny as they never figured out how to all run and jump in at the same time.

This past weekend we were able to get over to Hastings to see Papa Thom race.  Cori is always talking about being a racer girl (most likely with a pink race car!)  As soon as we got there she jumped right into the drivers seat and started begging to go for a ride!

But before she could ride we got to see him race!!

Now for the ride!!! Even Addi insisted that she needed to ride too!!

Papa with his trophy girls!! 

And for you who are TopGear fans..... a future Stig? 

She might be okay with a white helmet, but I think the all white race suit my be in for a change!!

time flies

I've been waiting for my friends to do new post, and yet I haven't done any.... well almost a year later, here we go....  because of selling our house and living in limbo for the next several months, these are not only the most recent pictures I have but the only ones!

In July we took a trip (ie. a long drive) to New Mexico to see cousin Roan (and his mommy and daddy too).  We had lots of fun on our visit!  

Cori got to go fishing with the big Boys who took her fishing for the first time!!

We ended our trip with stops in both El Paso and Midland Texas before heading home to the craziness of moving!!

We have also been looking forward to going back to the County Fair (for the rides and funnel cones of course!!)  I told myself last year that I would not make the mistake again of only buying Cori tickets for the rides and instead buy her an all you can ride wristband.... mistake corrected for Cori, but major fail for Addi.  I didn't think she would like the rides as this was her first year on them.... I was wrong!! Correction will be made for the State Fair!!!!

Having SO MUCH FUN!!!

Daddy took the girls on the carousel early, which was a good plan as he gets dizzy easily!

Maybe one of the oldest rides there, but they are true race car girls!!

A bigger girl ride for Cori.... with jumps and lots of speed!!

Hopefully the next few months will be lots of pictures of the new house(s).... and then before too long Baby Girl #3!!
