Pool Time!!!

Kelly has been house/dog sitting at the Kollen household for the last few days. I have been trying to talk my parents into getting a pool (our yard is too small) but they seem to think that we don't need one. We have been swimming every day since Saturday and the kids absolutely LOVE it!!! Trevor is in lessons and I cannot believe how much he has learned...he will be pool safe for sure by next summer. We were going to wait to get TT lessons until next summer but I think we might do it now so that she will be more ready/safe for next summer too. WE have had such a blast, my kids ask each morning, "Mommy are we going to Piggy's house (meaning Peggy) to go swimming???"




Trevor using TT as a boost for his jump!


Notice that Trev is jumping off the side of the jacuzzi. I will have more pics tomorrow because he is now jumping and swimming in the deep end without the life vest!
This is where my little daredevil likes to jump, the highest part in the pool!


Jeana joined us on Sunday, Ruby spent most of her time sitting in the jacuzzi, and Abby bean........




was contained in the pack and play with the Disney Channel.....next summer Jeana!!!!




Don went back to work on Saturday so I am now back to invading Jeana and my parents on his work days. Here is a picture of Anthony with all the kids at the end of the night! Cute!!! Do you think Trev likes him????





This is the best part about the pool.....a picture of both sleeping kids before we even left the track of homes the Kollen's live in.
I hope you are all having fun at Bass Lake because we sure are enjoying your pool! Thanks!!!

Thanks for letting us in on the fun! Note to self: Trevor can swim... no need to jump in after him while fully clothed:)

I can't believe how well Trevor can swim! Good for him, next TT. Put her in lessons- she already thinks she can swim anyway.

No pool and Mimi's and Papa's! they are getting to old for that! Ha Ha, plus it is way to expensive if they ever have hopes of retiring!

I am thinking Trevor is the next Michael Phelps!

Aren't the car seat sleeps the best! You know they have had a great day. Gosh we miss you guys, my stomachs hurts seeing those pictures. I hate being so far away. Emily and Ethan have facebooks now so...they need friends!
Love you guys,
Christy

Kim, bring the kids anytime. Next summer, we'll have a pool play day every week. We used to have them when the kids were little. Please come over as long as it's warm. I'll keep the cover on. A long weekend is coming up and we'll be home.
