Joy's cousin (my nephew), Kemper, is here spending the week with us and what better thing for cousins to do on a hot summer day but have a splish splashin' good time?
Since I couldn't bring ya'll here for our pool party, just sit back and imagine you've got a cool glass of lemonade (or in my case...a Diet Dew)! You've got on your cool sunglasses.....You've put on your suntan lotion (or sunscreen) and we're sitting back watching the kiddos splash, laugh, and have some good ole summertime fun! We're chatting about our kids, our life...every once in awhile, we'll dip our feet in because it's getting pretty hot up here on the deck! No worries.....the sun on your face...giggles of kids in your ears....We get splashed every now and then accidentally by the kids (okay..it's on purpose!), but it feels SO good! The kids are asking us to watch their jumps, water acrobatics, swimming competitions...."Hey mom look at me!" And of course we can do it all....we're MOMS....we multi task!
Ahhhh.....are you there?......Okay here goes:
Sometimes you just hang out:
But who can just hang out for long? Time for the real action!
Cannonball!
Together now...
Remember.....Tea, Tea, Nestea, Iced Tea! Ahhh.....
Gotta rest after all that!
Okay...now we're ready for a race....on our backs...ready...set...go!
Wanna dance? (They called this the waltz):
Remember the chicken fights?
Gotta rest again....time to float....
Now you know it wouldn't be complete without pushing each other in...right?
Guess what! You just got pushed in! So much for sipping lemonade and taking it easy....you're in for the whole dip now! Enjoy!

Great pictures of the kids! They must have fun together!! :) The pool looks fun and very inviting! It's going to be a hot one today. I could sure use a dip!
That looks like the best way to spend a summer day! Im sure they were having a blast!!
I miss the summer days at the pool as a child. Those are some great memories!
Have a great day,

The kiddos look like they were having so much fun.
Even the pup looks like he or she has a smile on his face.
How fun! Your blog always stirs good memories for me. Your pool area looks great! You guys have really done a lot over the years. Have you tried those cookies yet? : )
My cousin Joe & I used to spend weeks together like that in the summer! We were so close! that's how I met mark they were best friends. Joe & I are still close to this day:) Hopefully Joy & her cousin will always share a special bond!
how adorable! my kids are still salivating as we try our best to get the pool up and ready. one more day of filling i think! i just love your pool area...looks like such a relaxing place to be on a hot summer day! ohhh and a neighbor of ours bought a big outdoor clock at backyardcity.com. i am not sure what they paid for it..but it may be worth checking out. we saw some really nice ones at the Big Lots! here last week..if ya have one of those. i had one idea for ya and that blank space on the wall. i know you love americana as much as i do... i took a piece of old fence hubby didn't use and turned it sideways then painted it to look like a flag. i will take a picture of it for my blog soon to show ya. easy to do..not alot of $$. sits flush against the wall.

Looks fun and refreshing! Our kids are still waiting for our water to warm up here! Thanks for stopping by my blog and joining in on the giveaway!
Looks like they had a great time!

So fun to read your pool post, goodness sounds just like what we did as kids while our moms sat on the deck-great memories!!
Thanks for stopping by my site, I do plan to do some schooling during the summer but not as much. I found a neat camping workbook geared for summer schooling so that should be fun. My boys are coming out of second grade this year. I do hope the new work schedule will help create a more solid routine for us.

Oh those sweet carefree days of summer spent with a dear friend ... does life get sweeter? Love their smiles!
Blessings,
