what a boy does

He doesn’t want to stay in the clean wading pool outside.  He wants to eat and play in the mud, where a boy belongs.

not your best look…

Remember the days as a kid when you pressed your face against mesh netting because it felt funny? Well, Ella, you look about as funny as it feels.  Sorry girl, had to post these!

In honor of the Olympics…

In women’s gymnastics, Rilyn Paquette enters the arena. Hopes are high that she will bring back the gold for the USA.

Her beam routine is superb!

Her vault-excellent!

The floor exercise is flawless!

Now we bring you sliding (kinda like diving) and Ella Paquette is ready for the challenge! She’s been practicing this all her life.
She poses for a quick photo op

Her sliding skills are near perfect!

Minimal splash so we should expect high scores…

A quick shower and then she must complete her last slide.

Well, that wraps up todays coverage of the Olympics, now we’ll leave you with the medal ceremony.

**Gymnastics at Capital Gymnastics, the pool is at Scott Mentzer pool in Pflugerville.

Rain Rain Go Away!!!

Well, if I can’t change the weather, then I’m going to use it to my advantage which means try to take cute pictures of Rilyn playing in the rain!  (Ella was napping).  She LOVED splashing around and really didn’t want her umbrella.  Enjoy!

Okay we get it girls…you hate to swim…maybe next summer

Once again daddy tried to get the girls to learn to swim to no avail.  We don’t want to scar them so we are giving up this summer and just letting them swim on ‘their terms’ in the water (walking around in ankle deep water and splashing around.)  Oh well! 

So our girls won’t be Olympian swimmers, but on the bright side, maybe our girls will have a future in modeling….;-)

Thanks to Yuna Suh for letting us crash at her ‘pad’ and borrowing the infinity pool-great view!
