we mostly just swim all the time

hazel reading on the hammock

 the girls helped me make snickerdoodles

 at the pool

 we went to the stake pioneer day breakfast

it was an awesome activity

they had a delicious breakfast, a great female folk band and lots of activities for the kids

 the kids walked around in the children's parade, too

 i love noah's freckles

 four kids in a hammock and olive looking identical to me with her scowl

 wiped out michael and eleanor

 henry is so sweet while he sleeps

 look at that cute bum in the air and his crossed legs!

 the kids started swimming lessons on monday

eleanor refused to do her lesson the first day but it's been getting better every day

 fhe ice cream cones

 olive has been asking for pigtails every day this week

they're pretty cute

 it was henry's first ice cream cone

he really nailed it

 we literally hosed him off afterward

 he didn't mind too much..

 three cute girls awake before their brothers

 quietly working on coloring and workbooks

 eleanor enjoying swimming lessons

 i finally took my bike for a spin

 eleanor had her follow up appointment at the ENT and michael met us there and took her in

they said everything looked great

 i was happy to not take 5 kids into an appointment

 yesterday eleanor snuck a bunch of coins of olive's into the pool with her

in her DIAPER!

it was awkward and embarrassing when they all fell out in the pool...

 olive swimming with her teacher's help

 hazel about to jump in

 noah about to dive in

 we usually go to the pool after swimming lessons

yesterday we had it to ourselves for a while

 henry loves to jump in to the water over and over again

so i held that loop up top of his life jacket and let him jump in and pulled him out over and over

his little baby laughs were the best

 after dinner badminton last night

 chocolate chip pancakes with fresh whipped cream this morning 

as a reward for 3/5 kids sleeping in ;)

 we had lunch at the park

and olive rocked a side pony 

 eleanor loved her new goggles for her swim lesson

and just for funsies

a picture of me about to pop with each baby

within a day of their births
