"Can Jack come over?"

So she didn't say it quite like that, but Alli invited a friend over for the first time this past week. It went more like this. We were sitting at the breakfast table eating luch. Alli looked out the window and said "There's my pool."

I said "That's right. Would you like to go swimming this afternoon?"

Alli responds "Yeah" followed by a brief pause and then "Jack is my friend."

Thinking that was kinda random I politely say "That's right." Then she says "He's gonna swim with me." Now I see where this is going. So I explain that we have to call his mommy and if they are not busy, then maybe Jack can come over to swim.

Well, needless to say it worked out. It was a beautiful day for a backyard swim. We're trying to get as many in as possible before the Texas summer is truly over. Here are some pics of the day...

Alli flies down the slide in a somewhat out of control fashion.

Jack on the other hand carefully sits at the top of the slide before easing himself down, shoes and all.
The fancy red watering can was a very popular toy that created a little bit of a sharing issue.
TJ joined in the fun too.
It's good to have friends!

1st off- NEVER cut TJ's hair. Trav had beautiful curls and D made me cut them. They only grew back one time. So how does Daddy feel about Alli having a "boyfriend"? And I have to say, he is a cutie.

Yes, I think he is very very cute too, that Jack. His parents must be really good looking, especially his Mom.

I forgot to note - Alli Jean looks so cute in her first big-girl ponytail with ALL her hair up!

I have to admit, Alli's "do" is one of the reasons I was sure to post these pictures. I just thought she looked so cute.
Oh and we have never used the "b" word to describe Jack. He is a very good friend and we'll leave it at that :-)
