Oh sweet girl, Scarlett!

Griffin is more excited about Bryce's b-day than he is...

every little boy loves loves loves a party!

The fabulous foursome...waiting for birthday dinner...

Swim, swim , summertime....summer, summer, swimtime...

Seems as if the daily routine starts to fall in place after "Daddy" does work...
He opens the door, and Griffin pipes in, "Dad, want to go swimming?"  
Well of course, I do, he says and off they go!  How sweet....Griffin is doing the backstroke, swimming underwater (with goggles) of course, and can float for a while on his back out in the middle of the pool.  He certainly isn't an Olympian yet for sure, but I do believe he's pool safe!  

Come on Bryce, get in!  

The water is fantastic!!!!

He doesn't look too thrilled!

Happy and giving orders I'm sure...

Two fish for sure!

Headed to the pool.....

Hurry and snap that pic!

And away they go!

Their nightly routine!

Swimming everynight........so who could say 

no to this blond coppertone baby!

New Hibiscus flowers every day....

Swimming morning, noon and night!

We can go underwater, jump off the 

side (yikes)...and slide into the

pool!

Freshly painted chairs............

Bryce's home away from home...

Middle worker bee!  He is all about the "big" machinery.

Here he fills up the CAT with diesel for more grubbing!

Ever since he was a little boy, he has loved tractors!

It's definately his passion!  And he's good at it!

It is noted he had the best looking winter

wheat in the county....
