Carson's swimming lessons

Carson finished his first session of swim lessons at the Lakeville swim school. We've seen great improvement in him. His first lesson he didn't even want to get in the pool. By the end he was blowing bubbles, dunking his head in the water, floating on his back, and jumping off the side of the pool. Now that he's a little bit more comfortable with the water we hope after his next session of lessons he will be able to move up to the next group :)

Yummy!

After a long day of playing, who wouldn't want a sucker for a treat? :)

Before and After...

We recently decided that we were ready for a change around the house. We had the kitchen and part of the living room painted. We got rid of the lavender and white and went with fired brick (red) and nomadic desert (tan). We are very happy with how it turned out.

Carson loves the new colors too.

Gracie's 2nd Birthday Party!

Fun with cousins

Last weekend Gracie and Eli came over and went to the Morristown Dam Day's parade with us (Heather and Dave came too). The boys enjoyed playing with them and were super excited when they spent the night.

Fun in the sun

Last week the boys and I spent a day with my sister Heather and her two kids. It's great having them live so close :)

We took full advantage of the beautiful day. We went for a walk, played at the park, and got a little wet too.

We brought our sprinkler ball along. It was the first time the boys have played with it and they absolutly loved it.

Looks like everyone needed a drink of water...even Auntie Heather :)

Then the kids jumped in the pool for some more fun.

Then it was time for a walk to the park.

Daddy's little helper

Ryan loves to help out whenever he can. His latest thing is helping Dad mow the lawn.
After awhile Dad didn't need the help anymore. Ryan had to find his own mower. :)
