water fights and rocket pops...

we were baking, and the kids had been begging for a water balloon fight all week long.
i finally gave in...



hot days are for rocket pops, too.
the kids sat around and had little adult conversations with big questions like, "time flies, doesn't it?"

when all the balloons had been popped, the girls grabbed buckets and isaiah was their favorite target. i was the second favorite.
the kitchen floor was the third.



it was so hot today, i'm glad we had these on hand.



they remind me of when i was a kid.





drying off and warming up on the trampoline turned into a mommy dog-pile.
ouch!





mosiah had been asleep during the bulk of our hot day festivities, which was a good thing - he really hates being splashed by water.



lately, his favorite thing is throwing around this basketball.
oh, his second favorite is taking off his diaper and peeing on the kitchen floor.
luckily, this has only happened once.



i think his daddy and his grandpa would be pretty happy about this boy and his basketball. ;)



oh summer, how we love you.
