We did a no-no. We spent money on a swimming pool for the short person who is living with us at present. Any of you who shop at WalMart know it was only $15 but when you're strapped for cash...really shouldn't be spending money on a pool.
Anywho! He LOVES it! We emptied it the day after and he was so upset. Now anytime we go out and he sees it he points to it and says, "Waters".
Allen helped him in.
The water was cold we had just barely filled it. He didn't know quite what to think.
He seemed a bit upset because the dogs were drinking his swimming water...heaven forbid.
I helped him get moving in the water instead of just standing there.
After a few times around the pool...
He loved jumping and splashing. I just don't know for sure if he liked the splashing from jumping, or the adrenalin rush when he would fall down more.
After he started getting cold he thought it was pretty cool for me to hold him and just let him kick his feet.
Not real easy on the back...after all he weighs almost 40 lbs.
After his lips had turned purple we told him enough (he got real ticked about that) then we showed him how to lay on the warm concrete to dry off and warm up. We wrapped him up in a dark green towel so it would absorb as much heat as possible he liked the part where Allen laid on one side of him and me on the other the best though.

You take the best pictures! These are so cute! Brrr, thinking about that water and the weather lately has me shiverin a bit. I don't blame him for not letting the sun heat it before diving in. It looks refreshing. My favorite part is the image in my mind of the three of you warming in the sun.
It would've been a sight to see. He LOVES being between us. His favorite thing is a group hug, he calls it a goop ug.
Ok, so I think I have to come up and go swimming now....LOL :) ok, not me but, Aiden. We took Aiden for the first time yesterday and he LOVED it! He got cold though because the water wasn't warm and his lips turned purple...
Miss you!
The pictures of you with Jer reminds me of an old home movie we have of your mom with Ben and Matt. You have the same sweet, nuturant smile. Truly beauty in its purest form. Don't worry about feeling self-concious about your new profile pictures; happiness, centeredness, kindness, charity and faith all show up clearly on your face and that is the most beautiful thing of all.
