{summer's here}

On Monday we meet some friends at Tempe Splash Park! The kids had a blast! (can ya tell???)

b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l weather! Couldn't have chosen a better day!

unfortunately, my little "chunker" was much more interested in something else- chasing down the birds!

and I might add, this kid is dang fast! He a caught a couple of them!

there was another little 3 year old girl there with the exact swim suit as alenna, crazy "white-afro hair" like alenna, and blue eyes like alenna! i thought for a minute i was seeing twins! they did become fast friends...hmmm wonder why??? ;) not like they had a THING in common....

Oh buddy, why do you bring so much drama to my life??? 

While we were there, my accident prone Brady man fell and busted open his lip and toe- blood EVERYWHERE...(what is it about the mouth that gushes blood from it when split open??) He was totally fine. They of course had to fill out an entire incident report and take him to the 1st aid tent and do the whole 9 yards....I was all, "Ummm, he's a BOY. and a KID...he's gonna get hurt! Who cares, he's fine!" But they don't listen to me, I'm just the mother....

Shaylin played in the water with her brother and sister, until the big kids were kicking too much water on her. Then little Miss Diva decided she'd had it!

Ok, so another funny Alenna-ism. Alenna comes and tells me she has to pee...ugh! Of course, I'm thinking, the port-a-potty is up over this grassy hill, through these gates...I'd have to round up brady and hike over there just for her to let out three little drops...so I whisper to her, "just go in the water.." (don't judge me, they totally treat the water- little kids with full bladders playing in warm water...you do the math!) And Alenna looks at me, water dripping off her curls and says as loud as she can, "But mommy! We're NOT suppose to PEE in the WATER! Its yucky!" And all the parent's look at me like I'm Hitler or something....

Yes, Alenna you're right....now shut it!

Ah...out of the mouth of babes!

the aftermath...
