Last swimming lesson & our pool is finished and filling up with water!

Mason swimming and kicking to Jason 

Corben getting better and swimming up to the wall and grabbing on 

Jumping in feet first....not his typical belly flop!

Corben giving the thumb's up! Our pool is finished 

Notice we will be swimming with turtles every day! 

Slowly the pool is filling up 

Caleb's "special seat and step"...turned out great.

Umbrella holes on the seat and one for the step and Caleb plans to make a removable table

Passed final inspection...

Caleb installed the entire fence...

he even got to weld some together and leveling was quite the task! 

Our rock accent around the raised patio! 

Corben and Mason love coming down on the steps and ask daily when we are putting water in the pool..

well good news kids...we passed final inspection, tomorrow they put in the plaster and we fill up the pool!  Yippee!!   

Cleaned and prepped and ready for plaster!

Brick wall pictures

I love this brick wall in Old town Clovis and today the kid's clothes just happened to match and Corben said take our picture!  So...I jumped all over the opportunity.  We went to MOPS today where the kids get to play at church with other little kids and when I went to pick them up, Corben saw me and ran to get sister's hand and they walked out together, then...Corben picked up both their bags and came right to me.  What a sweet big brother.  (they carry small black bags with change of clothes/diapers/etc).

Needless to say, they weren't still in the picture taking mood when after MOPS we stopped at my favorite brick wall....but I tried anyway to get some pictures! 

 Love the blurry background...would be so much better if Mason would smile...oh well. 

Dentist

Corben at the Dentist.

He let her clean all 20 teeth, however he wanted to stand

He did get in the chair later and the Dentist found a cavity...boo!

Building

Corben's airplane and Mason's bull

Shooting the birds

Not sure if I should be worried...

Mason loves picking up the gun and shooting at the birds outside.

She even makes noises "boom boom" 

Swim Lessons

Mason doing great getting the rings off the steps 

Jason said she was actually kicking to get up this week 

Corben kicked a lot better this week and is putting his face in the water more and more to swim. 

Corben had a great time with Jason and loves wearing his goggles. 

We are so excited to almost have a pool of our own where we can swim everyday!
