The Water's Olympics

We have had a pretty quiet week just enjoying being together and watching the Olympics. This is really the first time the kids have really watched it and enjoyed it. They have loved the gymnastics, swimming, and diving. Here are a few new events that we could enter.
Rylee for losing the most teeth. She loves to smile at people and show that big hole in her mouth. She however struggles to eat the things she wants to and asks how to eat. Corn on the cob being one of them.
Ryder's event would be speed crawling. He can move from one room to another faster than I can keep up with him. He also will climb over anything in his way instead of going around. He has figured out how to hold the bottle in his mouth as he crawls along. Then he can take pit stops along his way.
Regannes' event is walking or running the dog in flip flops. Every morning she is up at the latest 6:00 am ready to walk Harley with me. She puts on her flip flops and off we go. She usually runs the whole way dragging Harley behind her. She dressed herself for this picture and even removed the tags herself (with her teeth). Thanks Grandma for the shirts.
It was so hot yesterday after visiting the Corn Festival. We decided to get the little pool out to play. Their next event was diving. Reganne started off and that's when we decided that she had watched to much of the diving competitions. She jumped and landed in the pool with a big splash and a smile.

Ryder decided it was to cold and that he didn't want to sit down. He and Harley played on the side.No speedo's for this boy. His Car's Swimsuit is like wearing long pants. He soon was only in his swim diaper so he could move.

We will missing the Olympics as they end today. We look forward to them again in two years and this time it will be for winter fun.

Jeff's been watching the Olympics every night. I always feel a little sad when they are finished. It's exciting to watch the athletes compete in their events.
