Easter 2010

yes, Malaki is drinking the dye water

Olivia's birthday
We had a pink and black pirate party to celebrate Olivia's 5th birthday. We met at a local splash park, with 15 kids it was great that they could get wet but I didn't have to worry about kids drowning. To keep the theme, we had water, water balloon sling shot, pirate pinata and a treasure hunt. Marisa and a friend came and helped, which was fantastic, now...where do I get some teenagers of my own to be permanent helpers?

Swimming

Summer means swimming around here, so it was obvious that lessons were going to be on our list of things to do. Logan has been visiting, so he and Olivia took level 2 and because I had to be at the pool for them and if Malaki is any where close to water, he's going to be in, I signed him up for a parent and tot class. Not sure if he really learned anything but he loved it! Olivia and Logan passed their level and Malaki can't move up until he's 3 but he's learned the monkey crawl, blow bubbles and pretty much in typical Malaki fashion showed no fear. For example, went down the water slide by himself, multiple times.

4th of July

For the breakfast at church I got us all matching Old Navy shirts to help celebrate the 4th.

Summer

Summer started with Malaki having surgery #3, more pallet work and I have to say, this has been his quickest recovery so far. 3 weeks of a liquid diet was kind of hard but lots of milk shakes, smoothies and snow cones made the weeks bearable.
