Already a fun summer!

Okay, so during the summer, we spend most of our time at the pool. And, Jilian picked right back up where she left off last summer - completely fearless in the water. To the point that it's almost scary. She wears arm floaties and sometimes a ring. When we swim at home, she swims in our little pool in the backyard. We have made it fun - sort of - by puting the slide from her jungle gym in the pool and she slides down that. It's quite hilarious....and a little bit ghetto!
But, at Angie and Niel's pool, she has so much fun! We went to Abbey's birthday party on Saturday where there were so many kids, I was a nervous wreck! I couldn't keep up with all of them, and then I realized I didn't have to because their OWN parents were watching them! I was still a nervous wreck though.
Here she is in the DEEP end.....she is having so much fun! And, here she is, completely fearless, jumping in the DEEP end off the diving rock.
Look how excited she is!
This is Madison. She LOVED playing with Madison; she wouldn't leave the poor girl alone! But, Maddy has a younger sister Jilian's age, and so she loved playing with Jilian, too.
Okay, so, this is Mason. Let me explain - he was 100% protected by arm floaties, a life jacket and a ring. He also had the goggles so he could see when he DIDN'T go under water. Mason never got in the pool. But, boy was he ready.....

So, here she is the next day jumping in with Abbey - again....completely FEARLESS!

Here she is with a new trick...

Okay, this was really funny....she had one of those life vests on, but she couldn't keep her bottom half under water. So, she just kept flipping from back to front. Go ahead...put me on the 'Bad Mommy' list because we couldn't stop laughing enough to help her out!

Well, there was one incident where Jilian looked like she was in trouble. She accidentally fell off the edge, and in doing so, her ring came off, and that caused one of her arm floaties to come off, too. She was splashing around and had a look of terror on her face. What did I do? I jumped in, clothes and all (luckily nothing in my pockets), and didn't even think twice about it. Once I was in, I though 'I'm not a good swimmer - what the heck am I gonna do?' Well, motherly instincts kicked in again, and I became the best swimmer to tread water. I got her above the water and over to safety. What did Brad do? He yelled from the deck right before I jumped in that Niel had already reached her and had ahold of her. Yup. Sat on the deck and barely moved. Thanks for all your help, Dad! Once I got to her, Niel let me take over - I think because he felt sorry for me because I had just jumped in IN MY CLOTHES, so he wanted me to FEEL like I was doing something.

Okay, last video....I promise. This the funniest thing I've ever seen. This is Angie's cat. This is how he drinks water from the faucet. He puts his head under the water and drinks from the stream coming off his head. Have you ever seen a cat get this wet intentionally?! :) And, then have the nerve to look at me like I was crazy!
