Library fun

Today we went to the Library for storytime and songs

Corben wearing his shirt: "Snack   Nap   Read"

After storytime, we went into the library and Corben picked books to read

Corben had a fun time picking out books

This little boy loves to read!

Pool time

Mason Kate enjoying her float in the pool

She was kicking the entire time

Brother and Sister in the pool

Corben can stand in the pool and with his float he can run around and not fall down. 

He likes to be in his float sometimes.

...

We just enrolled Corben in weekly private swim lessons at Clovis Ranch, near our house.

When we went to look at the pool and sign up, Corben kept saying he was "excited and happy".

He is a water boy and wants to swim in a big pool.

This will give him something to do by himself, without sister! (although she might watch!)

Floating

With 108+ degree weather, we finally bought a bigger pool in get cool in!

Corben floating around!

Relaxing!

Mommy and Corben

We both love the water!

Standing in Bed

This is how we found Mason after her nap this afternoon.

Standing up in bed and very happy!

Mason pulling up...

Mason is pulling up all by herself....on everything!

She is quite the little dare devil and thinks she can move around like big brother.

Notice the cute halter top from Meme!

Wagon Rides

Corben brought his horse along for the ride and we went and visited our neighbor's horses!

Mason loves to empty out my cupboard with all the plastic containers!

He is saying more words and loves art time, especially when glue is involved.
