Summer Fun

The boys started taking Swim lessons the first of the summer after the week of strep. Glad we got better in time. The first week of swim was not good. Brody cried the whole time because he didn't want to put his face in the water. I had to pin him down to put on his swimming suite and sunscreen before we left every morning. Gavin cried because he said he was freezing and didn't want to be cold in the water. Then the Sat after a week of swim lessons we all went to the public pool to swim (posted bellow) and Brody decided he loved swimming. The next Monday at swimming lessons he was so happy and continually was going under water and swimming. His teacher and I were amazed with the turn around. We did lessons for 2 weeks straight and tomorrow is the last day. The boys are now very sad.

Gavin loves to dive off the diving board. Tomorrow if I remember I will take my real camera. My phone is just not fast enough to capture the dive at the right time.

Brody jumped off for his first time. He wanted to hold her hand when he jumped.

The next time she helped him jump in and he swam all the way to the edge by himself! YEA!!! I am so proud of my little swimmer. He has come so far in the two weeks.

Swimming to the edge of the pool all alone.

This is the public pool we went to on Saturday. Had a fun time!

Gavin did think he was freezing the whole time and didn't swim much the first half. We realized later that they heat the big pool which is slightly warmer than the kiddie pool.

So he had fun doing cannon balls and diving into the deep pool. He practiced his back stroke, which he learned in swim lessons.

Paris started to get red skin after only an hour. I think this was her first major exposure to sun. I did put sunscreen on her and reapplied after an hour. Her and dad hung out in the shade. Poor white/pale skin baby.
Poor Grandpa! Brody will not leave Grandpa alone. I really think that he loves it, but I know it makes him tired. He makes me tired and I don't do half the stuff Grandpa does. So glad Grandma and Grandpa come with us. It makes it so much easier to keep all the kids safe and entertained.
Paris didn't liked to get splashed. I think she thought it was cold also. She didn't complain as much as Gavin though. I wanted to bring her a hat and then forgot. She looks cute in her swimming suite though.

The boys taking a nap on Fathers Day!

Going to head to Utah next week for 4th of July Fun. Also Symony and Josh are being sealed in the Logan temple so happy for them.

First for Paris and Gavin

First Ponytail!! She looks so cute in her first ponytail. It makes me think she is so big for finally having enough hair to put it up. FYI still not walking almost 15 months, only two or three steps when she feels like it.

She can get up on her spinning zebra by herself. I had to post this picture so Sym can see I actually hung her cute Paris wall hangings she found even if the room is not painted.
Paris is just cute!First time wearing a hat.

and she hates it!

Very mad it doesn't come off.

Summer reading program at the library. The kids have loved getting prizes. Paris thinks you are supposed to eat them. Gavin and Brody have already earned their free books.

All of my kids have loved blankets. Each have picked their own also. Paris I tried to get her to like a light weight blanket because of the heat. Of course she picks the one that someone gave to me at a shower that is fuzzy and hot!

We have waited all school year for a lose tooth. All his school friends have lost teeth and none of his were even lose, until the very end of the year, one finally wiggled.

Dad pulled it out on Fathers Day. Gavin was scared and happy to have it out. He was getting mad because he couldn't eat his apples. It is so little, Gavin has tinny teeth.

Doesn't he look so cute with a missing tooth.

He put his tooth under his pillow for the tooth fairy. Something he learned from school. I asked him what the tooth fairy would bring him he said "dollars". I said oh ya, how many dollars, he said "26, maybe 28, maybe 64". Funny boy, so Chris gave him a dollar in his tooth box. First thing he remember in the morning was to look and he was very excited to get his dollar. Then he proceeded to tell Chris and I that he waited all night for the tooth fairy and he saw it. This is what he says it looks like "It has white wings, tinny legs, a huge nose, a square body, looks like an alien, with three hairs that stick up" if you ask his again he will probably give you a completely different description. He has a big imagination. Every mile stone is so fun. We are so blessed to have such wonderful kids.
