4th of july fun




the two pictures above are backwards. Wilson would not go off the diving board at all he stayed away so finally grandma got him on it and as she said get ready, set, Gentry said Go and pushed Wilson off with so much force that she fell in on top of he and grandma. I don't know if Wilson will ever go back. Gentry on the other hand would not stop going off the diving board she would lift her leg like that everytime before she would jump. quite funny.






Kates new friends Grandma and grandpa great Larsen. She thought they were here just for her.




And Ethan what can I say?

4th of july at the Mann's




Papa and grandma








back flipping jump spins, and otter pops with cousins made for great fun.


4th of July in Boulder City








Fourth of July festivities in Boulder City the parade was a success because we took 5 gallons of water, 6 water guns, 2 spray bottles, and 4 kids accompanied by christy who love to get people wet. Ethan couldn't have been happier than to have been there drenching everyone in sight.

some cute randomness. We have a rule at our house no getting on the table. These two look at me like I am crazy when I try to reinforce rules. probably because I don't reinforce very well look how cute they are.

more track break












More fun on track break we stayed at this fun resort aka aunt gnomeys house for a few days. we swam Ethan mastered well we thought he mastered his back flip inthe 1st photo you can see him hit his head. We had our own personal chef who would make the kids plain pasta when they wanted thanks Caleb, and a great movie room. It made for a great vacation only 30 minutes from home!!!The girls love the little pool Kate thinks it was built for her.
