So as promised on photo extravaganza week….another round. Memorial Day goodness. After months of scrimping and saving we finally broke down and bought a pool. This is no ordinary pool. This bad boy cost a whopping $19.97 at Walmart and only took my brother-in-law 45 minutes to pump up. Poor Sammy…He was my nanny/slave boy all weekend. Just a snap of my fingers and I had pretty much everything I wanted. (Ryan was out shooting a wedding all day Sunday) While the cat is away, the mice played.
Here she is in all her aqua glory. Ain’t she a beauty? She does have a shallow and deep end, but only because the yard slopes. I am thinking about charging admission.
Ryan helped introduce Chloe into the big blue bathtub. Here she is checking it out and sizing it up.
Chloe is in beach body shape….lookin’ good, lookin’ good Chloe.

It was a little too chilly for Chloe’s taste. Every time we tried to sit her down she made this face. The nervous whine.

We finally took Chloe out and the boys took over. We could play the game, gay, straight or brothers. You be the judge. That’s not a ghost in the left side of your screen. That is Ryan in all his milky Irish glory. Yes ladies, he is all mine, every white square inch of him. He is going to kill me for this.
As all brothers tend to do together, they resorted to being kids again. Sam kept filling up a rubber ducky and squeezing it’s belly so it looked like he was peeing and of course Ryan had to catch it in his mouth. They then proceeded to laugh like hyenas the whole time perfecting their arch. I think the maturity level averaged around 11 or 12 while they were in the pool.
I wish I had pictures from the rest of our afternoon. We went to my brother’s and had a crazy water balloon and squirt gun war. I was literally a drowned rat after running around and being drenched from head to toe. It was so much fun and GOOOOOOOOODDDDDD BBQ on the grill that night, double yum.
******ATTENTION SINGLE LADIES WHO AREN’T PSYCHO*****
I told Sam I was going to pimp him off on my site. All I ever hear about every time he visits is how “stupid” the girls are where he lives. I said most of my readers are mom’s, but there are some single ladies that read. So, if you are into military men….and he is VERY high up on the military food chain ( he eats rocks and sleeps with his eyes open and can kill you with his pinky) Sam is a lovable guy, 24, wants a very active, athletic chick who likes the outdoors and the beach. He is a very adventurous, is a great conversationalist when you get him one on one and a big softy underneath all that military crust. So if you are in or near North Carolina, drop me an email.
He also played nanny this weekend to Chloe. Awwwww……….. Look at that nurturing side.
Chloe cracks me up in her stroller. She just makes herself at home.
















Girl, are you fo’ real? You bring a wwhhhhooollllllee new meaning to “Pimp My Blog”.
And I think my Hubz may have yours beat in the Milky White category. He’d kill me if I offered up proof. hhhmmmmm… I think I hear a private post coming on. muahahahahahahahah!!!!!
Oh if only I was younger and single….
Chloe looks adorable in her sunglasses — and I love the gay, straight or brothers… too funny!!!
I need that pool, but I don’t think it would fit in our tiny townhouse back yard.
Too bad my sister doesn’t live close to NC. She LOVES military men!
Is GA too far away from NC? I’ve got 2 friends I need to pimp out, too!
I love the pool pictures Kel! I am so jealous you have a yard for a pool. I would totally dig a pool play date for the girls in that bad boy! Happy Birthday Sweetie!
Dude we have that exact same swimming pool! My office mate had it at her house for her nieces and nephews who came to visit two summers ago but they’ve outgrown it and she gave it to us last year.
Too bad all my girlfriends are married off by now! What a hunk! (I love how you screen the psychos out.)
sam is super hot. only if i was 5 years younger - athletic - lived near nc - and not psycho…damn.
dude. I’d be all over that Sam action!!!! although Ryan’s milky goodness is distracting me…delish!
these are TOO cute. I can’t wait for zozo to go in the pool this year! she’s ready.
I WANNA play in the poooooooooool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! chloe doesn’t know a good thing when she sees it.
That’s right ladies. I’m all Kelly’s! Don’t be jealous. At least I don’t have to worry too much about skin cancer.
Happy 31st Birthday! Chloe is adorable–she looks so cute in her sunglasses and swimsuit. You’re brother-in-law is hot! If I were 10 years younger, and oh- not married!!:)
Kel, Kim mentioned the plug you put in for your bro-in-law… So I just checked it out, I must say he is a looker… Nice work on scouting out the gals for him. You are so fun Kel. Oh, I’m 23 by the way… LOL (Karen Roa)
Hello–stopping by from Renee’s blog–had to check out the tea towel she sent you. Yours is adorable, too!
Well dang–if I was a little younger, I’d snag Sam before anyone else did! I am in NC, not too far from a big Military post. He’s a cutie patootie!
Your daughter is adorable, quite the fashionista in the bathing suit post! LOL Love your comments with the pics.
