Mission accomplished....

We have been cleaning the white hard water line on the tiles in our pool for a few weeks now. Actually since my mom, sisters and aunt were here. It went really quick when Javi, Jody, Kim and I were all cleaning our own section of the pool at the same time but they left and we had only finished the spa and half of the pool... today Javi and I finally finished the rest of it! Yay!!! And it only took us 3 boxes of stones which is actually 9 stones. I had gone to the pool store and bought one box of 3 stones thinking that should do it....but it didn't get us very far...so I found a website that sells the stones for much less than the pool store (what a surprise right?) and ordered a bulk pack of 6 boxes (18 more stones). So now we have plenty left for next time ( I can't wait!). It's like scrubbing with a pumice stone and when you are done, not only have you scrubbed the hard water line off the tiles but you have also scrubbed a few layers of your fingers off! My fingers are kinda rough right now. Here is a comparison picture of the tiles while we were working on them....the tiles on the right have already been scrubbed and the ones on the left you can see the white line.Here we are today doing some more scrubbing....Trey took these pictures of me and Javi. What a good little photographer huh?

Trey wanted to help too....of courseHere is what Talan does while we are in the pool....he loves to be outside!


And here are two videos of Trey's newest pool accomplishments...He can do a cannon ball and now he has learned how to dive in! This child has no fear and learns how to do things so quickly he just amazes me!!!




Thanks again Kim and Jody for your help!!!

we would always start doing the stone thing on my parent's pool but we never got very far. theres is about 6 years of buildup, though. very frustrating!! thats an amazing comparision of your kids! they look like twins!
