Day before the MCAT. We decided to help Daddy take a study break at the Library and have a picnic lunch outside. The kids had a great time and enjoyed their first trip to the Library, until being rejected for a Library card because we live in a newer neighborhood- we had no clue, we just thought since we live in Papillion we could use the library (it was so sad, they were all excited about the books they picked out). I guess we will have to use the base library, unless we pay the $40- that's how much our zoo pass cost so we will stick with free and go on base.

Our best summer purchase ever, was made last years and it is this blue plastic pool. The kids love it and have spent many hours outside in it this year. The best part is NO holes, we've had several blow up pools and can't seem to keep them from getting holes.

Our curious little Cambria. She loves to explore and sometimes we find her climbing things. She isn't really into too many dangerous things or making too much of a mess (kind of nice for a toddler), but we do have to watch for her.

Cambria's first time to actually play at the park. She was very interested in everything. She usually just fussed about the concrete, grass, or little bits of tires under her feet. I think the tennis shoes helped, now if only they would stay on.

Studying for the MCAT
Walking around at the park with big sister. Her feet are very chubby and she can only wear a few pairs of shoes and for some reason one of her tennis shoes always ends up falling off- she is usually bare foot. I am hoping baby girl#3 has smaller feet like Avalyn's, because Cambria is unable to wear any of Avalyn's shoes so I have had to buy all of hers new (difficult to do when you have so many cute little girl shoes already, not to mention finding wide shoes for girls is not easy or cheap- praise the Lord for Robees).

Fish try #1. We decided it would be fun surprise after Kyle returned home to let the kids pick out gold fish. They were thrilled. We got 4 fish- Dorothy (Cambria's fish, named after Elmo's fish), Goldy (Avalyn's fish), Darth Vador (Gavin's black fish), and Pinky-Dinky-Do (the baby's light pink fish). Darth died after day 1 and the others (including Darth Vador 2) died within the 1st week. Kyle and I were frustrated, the tank wouldn't stay clean and we decided they were not the right fish for us.
The kids took the deaths well, thought it was so silly that Daddy flushed the fish down the potty, talk about it a bit and then moved on. We felt bad and after a week without fish we decided we would give Beta fish a shot, since we didn't want the trouble of an actual aquarium. We let Gavin and Avalyn pick out a Beta fish and I am happy to say several weeks later Daisy (dark red and magenta) and Luke SkyWalker (blue- like Luke SkyWalker's light saber) are doing well. The kids are enjoying them and Kyle and I are happy they are so much cleaner and easy to take care of. No pictures of Daisy and Luke yet, but I will have to do that soon.
Bye-Bye fishes it was fun while it lasted.
They were so excited when they realized they were matching they wanted me to take their picture!

I love Cambrias Pigtails, and the fishes names. I can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks.
