An Eventful, Uncooperative, But Fun, Week :)

We didnt get to go down the cool big slides or get our faces painted for the 24th of July. But the kids did get to ride on the coolest horse ever. The whole thing was made out of horse shoes! They all really enjoyed it.

Phoenix

Azelin and Ethan

Avina and Melaney

We did do our own little fire works but I didnt get any pictures of it. I was being a big 'ol grouch and forgot my camera. The kids, of course, loved them though. : )

Azey and Avina giving hugs. They get along so much better now that they are both older. :)

Sergio & Nichole and Me & Ryan just chillin'

For some reason, maybe because it was pretty chaotic the whole time with all the little ones, I didnt get any pictures of Michelle and Josh together this time. sigh...

I cut and colored Nicholes hair & cut Melaneys hair. This is Nichole processing and Melaney cheesin' it with her new cut.

For dinner one of the nights we ate navajo tacos. Ethan fell asleep before he was even able to eat. All of the kids played way hard the whole week.

The boys even helped with dinner!

Ryan, Josh, and Sergio getting the dough ready to be fried.

And Nichole frying away.

AND...

The kids ran thru the sprinklers...

and made forts.

I didnt get the picture in time. It was kindof broken down at this point.

Gettin' ready to go swimming. Melaney wasnt very happy in this picture.

But before we went swimming, Nichole and I went to The Childrens Place to buy Avina some school clothes. Nichole did ausome with her shopping. She only spent $74 and bought a ton of clothes!! Like 25 items!! That is amazing!

Look at how cute they all are in their swimming suits!

Azey was very excited because Aunt Nichole taught her how to swim. I tried uploading the little video clip of her swimming but it wouldnt cooperate. Kindof the theme for the whole week. lol

Poor little Phoenix, and Ethan, only got to swim for about 10 minutes. Because, Phoenix accidently swallowed a bunch of water. Right when that happened I picked her up and held her up out of the water so that her little lungs could get air better. And I was just going to let her cough it out. But then she started to puke. So I hurried and got her out of the water and on the side of the pool where she continued to puke. It was so sad. When she was done I wiped it all up, and wiped her up, and then wiped myself up and put her and Ethan in the car and came home to take a bath. So, her and Ethan got to play in water after all. Just not pool water. : )
