Brainwashed?

Nuf' said.

Too cute!

McKenzie often let's me put her hair up, but it very rarely lasts for more than a few minutes. So these pix are to memorialize the ponytail.

Justin wanted to pose too . . .

Cousins

Andrew and his family came to visit for the Fourth: Layne, McKenzie, Rowan, Justin, Eden

. . . and Gavin!

We did a lot of swimming . . .

and just hangin' out . . .

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

Grandma-great

Grannie Adams came to live with mom and dad for the past 6 weeks. It was a bit confusing at first with two grandma's in the same house. The kids have had a good time getting to know her.

Swimming

Justin had a couple weeks of lessons this year which really helped to boost his confidence. Now one of his favorite activities is seeing how long he can hold his breathe while checking out the bottom of the pool. McKenzie is half fish. She already matches Justin stroke for stroke and tries to escape her floaty anytime we turn our head. She's fearless. Swim teams are big around here so next year, they'll both get a chance to compete.

A prelude to a dive . . .

Beautiful form . . .

Like father . . .

Like son . . .
