Cowabunga Bay!!

Being the totally awesome parents that we are....we thought we'd try out the new Cowabunga Bay water park before the girls start school next week. $70 later (that's with Jack getting in free), we had 4 hours of fun, if that's what you want to call it! First let me say, I'm a big fan of water parks....however, I am NOT a fan of having buckets of cold water dumped on me while in line and while going down the slides, nor am I a fan of cold water being sprayed on me with a hose or a gun! All of this being done by obnoxious kids who's asses I would have enjoyed kicking. I know, it's a water park....but still, not fun to be sprayed non-stop! But the kids had fun & that's what matters! Now we've done it, will we do it again? NO!!

Jack enjoyed the pool and lazy river....not a big fan of the slides!

The Jamieson Boyz!

Giant bucket o' water spilling on Ellie!

No explanation needed!

I do love this family o' mine!!

Summer Fun....

We've been busy bee's this summer, packing in all sorts of fun & good times. Way too many pictures, what's new, so here goes....

.

Swimming...

Crazy Cow day at Chick...

'Father of the year' bought a tent, I know, a freaking tent. The kids were so excited....and being the HUGE campers that we are, we pitched it in the backyard & spent the night!

I went to girls camp (which will be a blog post all of it's own....yes, me, in a tent)...the kids spent a day each w/Alaina & Kara, having all sorts of fun. Swimming, eating, parks, lakes....they didn't miss me at all! Thanks girlie's, you are the best!!

The Taylorsville Pool...

The Daybreak Lake...

Miss Paige finally talked me into letting her cut bangs.... BEFORE

and AFTER...

Said goodbye to a good friend...

And finally....Kara's birthday celebration!! Love you sista!!

Jack the Barber!

Guess what Jack did today....Yup, played a little barber shop on himself! I found him playing in the sink with the water on. When I asked him what he was doing, he said 'nothing'. And then Caiser noticed his hair...or lack of, and I discovered the 'nothing' he was doing was really him trying to put the hair he had cut down the drain. I could only laugh, and thank heaven's he's a boy! When we explained to him that he is not allowed to play with scissors, or cut his hair, the tears started!

He got over the tears quickly, thought he looked cool, and was happy to pose with his new do!

Still cute....PUNK!
