On Sunday Kaylee was attached at the hip to the girl across the street, just call them frick and frack. Nathan can now ride his bike by himself, what a big guy!! Jimmy really has worked with him the last few days and he learned pretty fast. Two stories on Sunday.
Jimmy's mom came over and Jimmy and I went on a bike ride. Well about a mile or so away from the house we really noticed how nasty the sky was starting to look. Jimmy said something about going back and I talked him into going on because I don't get out with just him often and I was being stingy. So we ride back another couple miles away from the house and the wind started picking up so I was like, ok we better head back. Well we're about three miles away from home. They sky is DARK and the clouds look kinda low and swirly and then the temp drops about 15-20 degrees, not so good. So we start hustling, well about two miles from the house I get a big splat of water on my leg, uh oh. So we really start moving and I mean moving. Jimmy is leaving me behind in his dust with his big muscle man legs and I am pumping hard to try to keep up. I could not go fast if the devil himself was chasing me. My heart is like in those cartoons where it's beating so hard you can see it. I was gasping and I think I was louder then the thunder. Anyhow about a mile from the house it dumps, I mean dumps on us. I was rapidly blinking my eyes to try to see, water streaming off my hair and face. Jimmy is way ahead, looks back every once in awhile with the "I told you so" look and laughs at me. I'm sure I was a sight. So we make it back and I was so tired my legs felt like jello and I could hardly move. I think I laid on the floor of the house for a good 15 minutes before my heart rate went down. Whew! But it was awfully funny, too bad I didn't take any pictures of that!!
So later that day after the storm passes and we dry off we had the people from across the street over. Well we were giving them a house tour and Kaylee was eating these grape candies, little balls of grape candy. Anyhow, she must have sucked one down her throat and it got caught. It sounded like she was trying to gag it out then she'd panic and try to swallow it down and although it wasn't big like a gum ball it was enough that she couldn't get it up or down one way or the other so she was choking on it. FREAKED me out to no end. I don't panicy in those situations I get too calm. Like take to long processing information and not just acting. I think.. should I do the heimlich on her now, should I give her a second to try to get it out herself, Jimmy's whacking her on her back that might work let me see if that will work before I end up breaking her little ribs doing the heimlich on her, how much pressure should I use... should I lay her on the ground to do it or is she too big for that way. yay... not so good. Anyhow Jimmy dragged her off in the kitchen and bent her over and whacked her on the back and out it flew. Nice way to bond with the neighbors though, don't ya think? Let's just say that was the second time that day my heart was racing. So that was my weekend, pretty crazy. She's fine though, just never allowed to eat candy in the shape of a circle again, ever.
Here's some pictures from those crazy kids swimming. Nate didn't have his suit so he was nude, ha. Tomorrow I'll post some of him riding his bike like a big boy.
Brr... it's not very warm:

Kaylee takes to the water just like a fish:
Of course I had to post one of Emily, this was her falling asleep in Jimmy's arms at the graduation party. Oh, she loves loves water bottles, not drinking just playing with. She's so cute, Jimmy's awfully cute in this one too:
