pool update

As soon as there was water in the pool, even with dirt all around...and in the pool as well, Rachel's kids wanted to try it out. It was freezing! It certainly isn't swimming weather yet, but they seemed to enjoy it for a minute or two before they gave up and went in the house. Rylie, the fish, was the only one who wanted to stay in. There is still dirt an inch deep in the bottom of the pool, but the pool guys say that they will clean it up and that it will be pristine when they are finished. Next week, I hope.


I'm sure you can't see it, but their lips are blue!!!

This is the pool as of today, with the concrete poured. It is not a lot of deck, but it connects to the porch, so that adds to it, like having a swimming pool in your family room...outdoor family room, that is, which is the whole idea anyway. There is no grass yet, but we hope there will be a little by the time of the baptism/blessing party on the 24th.


We saw Daynen's play last weekend, and we have to say that it was very well done. It didn't look like a 6th grade play at all. They kids were all very rehearsed and talented and confident. Daynen even sang a solo. He was good too. I was at the back of the cafetorium, so the pictures leave something to be desired, but you get the idea. He was the white rabbit, by the way.


I know Rebecca blogged tennis state pictures, but I just wanted to show you how Allison and Dallin hit with all their might. It was so fun to watch them. They would return each ball, not just with their raquets or their arms, but with their whole bodies. Sometimes they would even jump into the shot and both feet would be in the air. They were amazing.
