it hasn't been this hot since...2009?

well, no matter, because I've never been pregnant in the summer, so it's at least never been this hot for me.  sheesh.  i mean, it's hard to breath out there.  so we are spending as much time in the spool in the afternoons as we can!  there are two pools within view from our windows and our fave is amaaaazing...there are jets...yeah.  have i ever mentioned Ace has no fear?  like, of anything (except smoke detectors....sigh).  it's scary - especially at the pool.  there are a ton of pictures...the photos explain more so you get to read less!

aw, look, he's relaxing!

or NOT

coming up for air...

surely he wouldn't do that craziness on purpose more than once...

oh, but he would...and did...and does.

his eyes stay open almost the whole time he's under...

we have to make him stop.  

he loves it...it is so ridiculous.

so happy in the pool

had to tell him to look at the camera so Eebop(my mom) could see him swimming

this is where he stops possessing my genes

he loves the intense moment before he hits the water

giddy

um...yeah...like i said...this is not something he gets from me.

he kind of likes it.

forward works too

daddy+water=elation

kid can get some serious air (aka, Mace forgets his brute strength sometimes)

aaagggghhh...belly flop.

ow! ow! ow! ow! ow!

he always wants more...

that one hurt his back...

"Ace hit!"= Ace sit

just because i think he's cute...

kind of catching his breath...

love that boy...even though he looks goofy without his faux hawk. 

belly flop belly

he's snoring in his bed, now.  just in case you were wondering if we'd ever be able to get this kid to sleep tonight!  HAHA!
