July 2010
Last 4th of July (well, 3rd, since the 4th was on Sunday) I took the kids to see the hot air balloons again. This time we went extra early so we wouldn't miss the filling-up and lift-off of the balloons. Well, we got to see them filled, but they were not able to lift off because of (apparent) windy conditions. Can you tell they rolled right out of bed for this picture? :)
I still can't figure out why they couldn't lift off, but what do I know. It was still fun to see them.
This was my favorite balloon, of course. That is my kind of Coke bottle! Just the right size!
We also did a little fishing that weekend. The kids loved it. As you can see they caught some pretty big fish! :)
I caught one about the same size and Evan was kind enough to take him off the hook and release him for me (I don't do that).
We also went to my cousin's house and hung out with her family and my other cousin's family and their friends. Here is a picture of all the cute kids! It was lots of fun!
Of course July involved a lot of sprinkler and/or pool days.
Evan liked the sprinkler high ...
Owen liked the sprinkler low (if he liked it at all).
Owen turned 3 in July! Evan and I went to Macey's and picked up this AWESOME balloon for him (although I think maybe it was a little bit more for me). I love how huge it is compared to him! We also grabbed a little cake, which Owen had to have for breakfast.
Owen loved his new real golf club from dad.
And his awesome old-school Little People (only bigger now) from Mama and Pata Jones.
We had all the cousins, aunts and uncles and grandparents from Casey's side of the family over to celebrate with us. Aunt Anahi made amazing and delicious Batman cupcakes.
(By the way ... can you tell Owen went through a cheesy grin phase around that time of the year? This one is a great smile compared to most. I do think the really cheesy ones are pretty cute, too, though.)
We set up a Batman pinata in the studio. It was great fun for all the kids!
As I mentioned before, Evan had another round of swim lessons. This time it was with my dear friend Jennifer's kids. We used to be next-door neighbors so it was great to see her so often again. It was so much fun just sitting and chatting while they swam each day. And Evan was doing amazing things in the water by the time he was done. I included a video of him jumping off the diving board!

Agreed. That IS the perfect size for a soda. Maybe not a Choke in my case, but yes. GREAT size. :)
I sure love Owen's cheezy smiles! And I especially love the last picture of Evan jumping off the diving board...clearly he trusts his teacher but you can see he is scared by how his arms are trying so hard to reach him. Precious.
Kim :)
