Swimming lessons 2012

 This past week marked the second year that Kyle has taken swimming lessons. To look back on last year's swimming lessons click HERE and HERE. His teacher came and talked to us before the class started and told us that Kyle really is doing well and really building up his confidence in the water.  I am SO proud of him!  At 5 years old, he is doing so much more than I can do.  As you can see he was all smiles this morning sitting by the pool. :-)

Next the kids broke off into small groups.  Kyle went into a little older group but did excellent in keeping up.  The did several different things but I really think he liked was floating on his back. 

Then he would even swim from teacher to teacher!!

Lil' bit also did really good during Kyle's swimming lessons!  The entire way to the pool, I kept saying that I just knew Evan was going to run around and even probably try to jump in!  He loved watching Kyle and all the kids and then he loved playing peek-a-boo behind the chair.  I can't wait to see him in just a couple of years out there swimming all over that pool! :-)

Wedding

Acouple of weekends ago, we attended Ben's cousins wedding.  The wedding was so pretty and it was so much fun to get the boys are dressed up to go somewhere as a family.  We don't usually get to do stuff like this since our work schedules are opposite so we looked at this as a real special treat. :-)  I took A LOT of pictures but I tried to pick just a few on here to share. 
One of my favorites...Don't the boys look so handsome in there navy blazers with shirt and ties?! 

Isn't this a great picture of Ben's sister Monica and her little girl Jonna that I took at the reception?!



The kids had a great time out on the dance floor dancing with Pa!

And my own personal favorite of Evan....

(Thank you Mr. John for sending it to me!)

Playing outside...

 I just love the summer time....for lots of reasons but mainly I love that it is still light in the evenings and we can go outside at night.  Even if it is for a few minutes, the boys love to play outside on the swing set.  Evan has gotten to be a pro at climbing up the rock wall/steps.

Kyle was pretending to be tarzan and jumping of the teeter totter onto the rope off the swing. Oh goodness, help me! I thought I was going to have a heart attack but he finally stopped with this little game.  However he just moved onto jumping off of something else. :-)
