SWIMMING!!!!!!!!!! :)

We had a great time swimming today. MelanieWelanie and her family are here, so we took all the kids to the pool.

Widget's first trip to the pool.

I don't know why my pictures are this blurry. You can't really see this, but if you look closely at Dippy's foot, he's standing on the one water sprout so that it sprays his little brother in the head!!!!

Look at the three of them back there....hanging on the side of the pool like a group of barnacles!!!

The more of the water spouts you stand on, the higher the water goes on the ones that are open.

That water DID hit Goofy in the eye! :)

Widget set the chair up by himself. It had been laying flat like the one beside it.

I don't know who that strange hovering child is. Just thought the picture was funny so I shared.

Dippy took my camera to the deep end of the pool. And took pictures of feet. So this would be what the sharks see.

Widget's First Birthday!!!

Yesterday was Widget's first birthday!!!!!
We went to the park for cake and fun. MelanieWelanie brought him this cool birthday crown!

His yummy yummy Wegman's cake! He asked for this cake. I was going to bake him one and decorate it for him, but he asked me if I could please get him one from Wegman's. And, well, he was the birthday boy, so I had to get him the cake HE wanted.

Blowing out the first candle. He needed a little help.

He LOVED his cake!!!

He looks worried that I was going to take his cake!

Dingy and her Mtn Dew!

And...SECOND piece of cake!!!

Goofy wouldn't join the party. I think there were too many people for him.

The monkeys climbing a tree.

Rod hung Goofy in a tree. Then Rod looked at me and let Goofy fall!!! Not winning Father of the Year after that one!!

Opening the present from MelanieWelanie.

Thanks Melanie!!!!

Happy Birthday Widget!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

It's Widget's first birthday already!!!!!!!

Leftovers

Dingy puts away all of our leftovers for us each evening after dinner. I have asked her to put the date on the bags, so I know how old things are before I try to serve them to people. Well, I was rooting through the fridge today trying to find the veggies from last night to heat up for Rod's lunch. I found our chicken with THIS on it:

That Dingy...........
