Hot Day

It has been hot the last few days. Jason worked all day in the garage on the dresser while Ally and I went shopping with Rachel and Grandma Rhonda for flower girl's dresses. The task is difficult due to Rachel's dress being champagne color. We think we found it, but they are going to look a couple more places. Goodness they are expensive though.

Our other problem is that my daughter has no meat on her bones so she fits into a 2 or 3T dress but it is way too short. A 4T fits length, but is so big on her chest. I think that Kaylee will have the same problem except that she might still have a slight buddha belly still. Also we have to order them by Aug 5 which is 8 months from the wedding - how much will either girl grow???

After doing some grilling, we headed out to the pool. Last night we swam also but Jason was mowing in the "coolness" and stirring up all the stinking bugs. Tonight the water still felt awesome, but no bugs making the swimming experience much more enjoyable. Drew is so funny with his life jacket! He will do about anything as long as there are no bugs in the way. He refuses to take it off though. He can jump (with life jacket) but wouldn't show me on video tonight.

Ally has been getting slightly braver. She will swim with wings - except she bites holes in them and they don't stay up very well then, or with her life jacket which is bulky, or with a inter tube. But she is now experimenting with nothing holding her up. She is just tall enough to swallow the water if she doesn't keep her mouth closed, but can touch and bounce around. She loves it. She loves to jump off the side or her daddy's head. She will go under, but many times forgets to blow out her nose. I am trying to teach to plug the nose, but not sure if that is such a hot idea - will she get addicted to holding her nose???

The above picture is actually two pictures - doesn't it look neat?

Jason has a hilarious entry into the pool, but I need some help trying to get him to let me tape it and then post it.
