Marbella Manor: July 2010

July 24, 2010 "Blake's Birthday Party in Boca"

On Saturday we drove 2 hours to Boca Raton to celebrate a friend's birthday. There was swimming, a clown who made balloon animals, dancing and games for the kids, and great food. We all had a great time and finished off the day by stopping at Chuck E Cheese...and Target of course.

July 23, 2010 "Singing in the rain"

It rained here pretty much all day long. And during one of the nice showers (no thunder) the kids played in the rain. They had a blast. The expressions on their faces are just priceless.

I was standing in the road to watch for cars, so don't freak out

Keegan said, "I'm sitting in a river"

July 23, 2010 "Super Why?"

This is how I found Keira when I got out of the shower. She's sticking her fingers in her ears pretending to clean out her ears. Crazy dog. Oh and you can see all the baby wipes she pulled out and used to "clean" her babies...lovely.

"This is Princess Presto with the power to spell. And I'm Super Why with the power to read! ZAP!"

July 21, 2010 "Baby got back"

Holy swelled diaper Batman! I guess that's why they make special diapers to swim in. At least I know her diapers are absorbent.

Look a how huge her diaper is, it's swelled a few inches away from her back as she sits

Baby got back

crazy dog #2 getting ready to jump, luckily the diaper didn't burst, it would have left those little gel crystals all over everything.

July 19, 2010 "Water, Balloons, Sponges...FUN!"

Since our "outdoor living space" blew down in a rain storm, the kids are forced to play and swim in the garage. Well, at least now we fit in with everyone else in the neighborhood.

"Cheese"

These are the same 2 children who hate getting their hair rinsed in the tub.

Water balloons, they like them, but prefer to step on them instead of throwing them.

July 10, 2010 "Home Sweet Home"

After a crazy and eventful vacation, we are home enjoying some much needed rest. Keegan is healing nicely. These pictures were taken for posterity.

It doesn't hurt that bad

Mommom found this steal at the consignment store for $6. Keira loves is, especially the high heals. She thinks she is something. I was going to save it and not show it to her until Halloween, but she found it when I was packing it in the suitcase. Little snoop. Isn't she just adorable?

July 4, 2010 "Happy 4th of July"

We celebrated Independence day with family. We started the day at Aunt Susie's and finished the day at Mommom's. Swimming was the activity of the day. The kid's had fun, even with a broken collarbone!
