Getting wet

We've had an easy going couple of weeks. We've had our share of rain the last couple of weeks along with some wicked wind; and are looking forward to a week of sunshine.
Casey's last two track meets were at home. We skipped the first because of rain, and the second because of wind. His boys won both meets. Tomorrow they have their district meet in Filer and then they're done for the season! Also we've got just over a month till school is out!!
 Kendal got her hair cut this past weekend. I decided since we were going for a paid cut, and it's getting warmer we'd go for a good chop. Kendal got six inches of long lovely locks chopped off. She wasn't sure at first, but she's enjoying her lighter and less tangled tresses.

Kendal and Peter started swim lessons today. I probably should've taken them to the pool to refresh last years lessons, because they spent day one being kind of timid. Kendal even yelled help to her teacher as she bobbed in the water and the life guard dove off of his perch to "rescue" Kendal who didn't really need rescuing (sigh, at least she's well watched over). Peter took a while to warm up to his teacher, but looked like he was enjoying himself during the lesson. It was hot and humid so Alice and I sat on the side lines having a good sweat. Swim lessons will continue Mondays and Wednesdays for the next three weeks. (I promise to get better pictures in upcoming lessons; baby + camera = get what you can.)

Alice has started babbling so much lately. I've even got some small giggles out of her this past week. I love hearing her babble away and she goes on for a while. (Looks like she'll take after big sister ; ) She's getting sweet baby rolls that I love to squish. She loves eating and sucking her fingers. When she's awake she prefers her fingers above her pacifier any day. Lots of finger eating equals lots of drool; she can get herself pretty soaked with how much she drools. Unfortunately she's following in big brother and sister's footsteps and has had some eczema issues. She's had sensitive soaps and lotions since birth, but I got lazy and wash and dry her clothes with a load that I put a dryer sheet with. Time to be more cautious.

Peter had the opportunity to go register for Kindergarten with Casey. He has learned so so much this year, and I'm proud of him! He is so excited to start school this fall!

 Peter made a boat, loaded it with his treasures, and made some epic adventures. 

I love this kids imagination!

So between the rain, swim lessons, and endless drool I'd say we've been getting pretty wet and we'll stay fairly wet in the near future ; )
