Pool Days at Kim's

One of my favorite summer memories are the weekly pool days at our friend, Kim's house. All the mommies and kids would get together, plus Jay if it happened to fall on a Mon. or Tues. when he was off. We loved when he came because we stuck all the kids in their floaties in the pool with him and then all the Mommies just ate, drank, and chatted. ;) Poor Jay was so good about it! We would bring lunches or sometimes order pizza. It was such a wonderful, laid-back day to look forward to each week. And Holden always took an AWESOME afternoon nap after swimming and playing outside all morning!

Some fun pool pics. Kim and her daughter, Lauren, are in the bottom left. Holden just loves Lauren and talks about her all the time. I think he has a little crush! :) Cracking up at Jay, Cade, and Lauren...I think they were holding pool nets?? You just never knew what type of toy or item was going to be spotted floating along in the water.

More cute kiddos: Colin (on scooter), Ava enjoying her lunch, sweet baby Chase, Holden in the sand pile, sleeping baby Hunter, and Cade with the hose as usual. :)

The kids always crowded around the picnic table and were often quite goofy together.

Destined to be buddies: Chase Cunningham and Hunter Hobson. They spent a lot of the summer side by side like this in their carriers. (Don't they look impressed? Ha!) Chase could sleep absolutely anywhere and was frequently seen in a spot like the one below. I can't wait for next summer when the two of them are toddling around, getting into everything together!

Busy kiddos!

Lauren, Ava, Natty, and Hunter

On our last pool day in August, Hunter got in the water with Daddy and LOVED it! He is getting so big!

Poor Jay, the one-man "Daddy Daycare/Pool Nanny." He was a very good sport!

Cade and the purple purse...he loved this purse of Lauren's and carried it everywhere, collecting things to put in it. He even kept a grip on it while in nothing but his birthday suit, waiting to get dressed! Great pics for his future girlfriend to see.

And this one is for Daddy...Holden got cold one day and I hadn't brought a change of clothes, so Lauren was kind enough to loan him her Tinkerbell undies. Such a proud moment for Daddy. Ha!

Thanks so much, Kim for all the fun summer memories! We can't wait for next year!!!
