We've been enjoying our swimming pool finally!!! After a long Texas winter, we had some cosmetic damage to the pool and some issues with chemical balances so we were going to get some work done on it but ultimately we had to do some more costly home repairs (roof & sewer leaks). My wonderful husband was able to fix the chemical levels and get the water cleaned up so that we could start using the pool for the rest of the summer. We decided to try out Natalie's floaties and "floating?" swimsuit i bought last year. and guess what.... it works like a charm! and little miss Rachel is totally chilling in her baby float so it's been very enjoyable for us. We're taking advantage of the hot triple digit heat here in Texas and we go swimming pretty much every day now. The girls love it and so do we!

Running Rachel
our littlest daughter is fast these days....she can go where she wants to go now and sometimes we loose her in the house (or mommy almost trips over her).
Ansel Adams.....watch out!
We have an aspiring little photographer on our hands. At (almost) age 3, Natalie knows how to turn on our little sony cybershot camera, take a picture AND view it! it's unbelievable. she also is learning how to get a centered shot BUT the only pose she will take is when you "make a silly face"!!! All these pics were taken by Natalie Ray Zook:
Grace's Birthday gym party
Last weekend all four of us went to another wonderful birthday party. this one happened to be in an indoor kid's gym and it was super fun! 
The "big" kids got to play too - i forgot how much i liked jumping on the trampoline. and the best part of the gym room was the big blue foam pit. it was the best!
Matt and i could jump in and our feet never touched the ground. the only thing was that the foam "ate" things.....somewhere down there is one of natalie's pony tail holders and Matt's sock. other than that, it was good times.
Poor Natalie - we tried to have her hold Rachel (just like Zane is holding his little brother jack) but Rachel was so wiggly it only lasted 2 seconds. at this point, Natalie was hot and ready to eat some cake.
It just makes me ready for the girls' parties. we're thinking bubble guppies and disney princess themes.

Grace is the cutie and the head of the table.While the big kids ate at the table, the little brothers and sisters played "house"... it was funny.
