Summer Fun....

We started swimming lessons this month. Libby & Zack have never taken them before & they are loving it!!

Libby & her cousin Jacob with their class.


Zack & his cousin Mitchell with their class.


Zack is making a funny face to his teacher in this picture....I think he's trying to decide if he'll do what his teacher asked!

Libby getting ready for her "seal" dive


Zack's "seal" dive


His first jump in.
He is doing so good though. He didn't even like his head under the water & by the end of his first lesson he was blowing bubbles & going under water. By the end of the first week, he was jumping off the diving board to his teacher.
He was so cute he said, "Mom I don't like swimming lessons, I LOVE them"!!


Libby is our water girl...she loves it!


Libby learning the back float.
So hopefully we'll end up with some good swimmers!

FATHER'S DAY WEEKEND

It has been so rainy this June, but Steve drove us down to this little town called Mona. It has a little lake & he wanted to check things out. He thinks it would be fun to have a cabin there someday. We finally found the dock & he took his "boat" for a spin.




Libby dipping her feet in.

All my cuties!!

The kids threw many, many rocks....I think they could have done that all day!

It looks like Zack threw his up into the mountain.


Tyler loved throwing rocks in the lake.



Libby & Zack


And of course it started raining....

But it was a fun adventure!

Then came Father's day....


Happy Father's Day!!

We are so grateful for Steve & our grandpa's too!!

This Friday was the Kindergarten field trip to the Zoo!


We let Libby skip school, Tyler & Grandma also joined Zack for Zoo day.


Zack helped us find our way with his map.


The cute penguins


My kids can move the world!


Elephant fun


Tyler didn't want his picture taken on the elephant he said, "I'll do it another morning." He is a funny boy!


My 3 little monkeys!!


The train ride


I can't believe Zack is almost done with kindergarten!!
We left the zoo with a broken camera & stroller, but at least they do serve ice cold diet coke!! We can handle anything as long as we get our diet coke, right mom??

Finally a SUNNY & WARM weekend!! We finally got to go boating yesterday!!
We took along our favorite helpers John & Josh.


We always have a good time when they come!
They are so cute with my kids!!



John tilt his head for the picture & Tyler copied him!


Josh & Tyler doing "rock on dude"!!

Zack & Josh

Crazy John!

Tubing fun....

Libby & Zack LOVE this!! They'll ride on the tube for hours!!
We are so proud of Josh this time. He has always been nervous to try the tube, but he did it!!


Looking a little nervous

By the middle of the ride he was riding with no hands!!


By the end he was all smiles!!


John learned how to drive the boat this time. He did a good job. It was really choppy on the way back to the dock & he got us all the way back safely!!


Josh enjoying the bumpy ride back!

Steve looking good in my hat!


You don't want to mess with these guys! LOL
John, I don't think Tyler's Bob the Builder hat fits quite right!


A real pirate..."argh, matey!"


Our other little pirate!


Crazy Josh & Libby!

It was so nice to finally enjoy a rain free day outside!!
I know that was a very long post, but I have to catch up before busy July starts!!
