Boulder fountains. Follow the cards. Monkey pox. Birthday message from the Shanes.

Chess training. Got another ball. Watching sports. Fountain shirt.

Viv helping Shanaya after she got hurt. Hat helmet. Sleeping at the pool. Selfie for Viv since she was still sleeping when I left for work.

Drinking milk and watching Strawberry Shortcake. Fun crafts. Definitely NOT sleeping. Typical art by Avery.

There's a much loved puppy in the furry purse. At one point he wanted to increase his chances of getting a hit and yelled out "F everything!" - hilarious. First soda for an upset tummy - it was a peaceful shopping trip.

Love.

Pics from Nikki on the day he lost his tooth. And then found his tooth. New kicks. Someone keeps putting this under my pillow.

Boy.

Watching the speed van nail cars. Here we go again. Sleeping. Sleeping.

splash party

Splash down, Rome!

Avery decided to go down the water slide by himself. Good thing he had three grown-ups to catch him...and the water was shallow enough for him to touch.

I think it's safe to say that everyone loved the water slide!

We eventually just let him truly go by himself. Please note the lack of overprotective whackos in this shot. He did great.

Last year's party at the Golden Rec Center was such a hit, that Viv wanted the exact same birthday as last year. She even wore the same dress. Luckily, I did talk her into a new swim suit. I'm going to place my bets that we'll be back when she turns 4.

Papa Mel spent some time teaching Avery to play chess. I'm going to let him watch a chess tutorial series on youtube before their next trip out here. Consider this your warning, Papa.
