Last week in pictures

Just a couple of pics of the fun we've had lately. . .all the pics are blurry b/c photographing my kids is like photographing a herd of elephants! And, these were all taken on my iphone!

Last week, we headed to the pet store. This is one of my kids' favorite activities! They SO want to trade in DumpTruck for a cuter puppy! Notice Brayden's hands around the puppy's neck! Davis LOVES these puppies! This particular puppy adored him!

I have been wanting to take my kids to the local firestation. I didn't really know how to schedule a tour or anything so I just dropped in one afternoon to ask. They told me to get my kids out of the car, right then and there and come right in. The kids thought it was SO fun! Fireman Sean showed us everything about the firehouse, engine and rescue truck. The kids were in awe. . though Brayden was bummed that they didn't have a firepole (like in FireHouse Dog!). The firemen agreed with him that they were bummed about that too!

Of course, baby Amber and Brayden's doggie had to come along for the tour as well.

Saturday was spent at my parents' pool. My kids LOVE to swim. Gracie floats around in her armies (floaties? whatever you call them!) and Brayden swims like a fish. Davis can now swim on his own, but doesn't know how to take a breath so he still has to have one of us available. He stands at the edge saying, "ready, set" until you notice! The kids had fun practicing synchronized swimming (we saw it on the Olympics and had to try. . oh my that's hard!) with me and goofing off with Greg. Here is Brayden standing on Greg's head. . which is PRETTY high up!
