Swimming lessons

Tyler's first year of swimming lessons...he LOVES his goggles!
He's doing really good.

He jumped off the diving board & is doing good at holding his breath under water.

After he is done Libby & Zack have their lesson.


Last year, was the first time they had ever had lessons.

Libby has improved so much, they moved her to the corner to corner class....she's actually swimming now!


And working on her dive!


Zack is in the same class as his cousin Mitchell. They are both getting better too!


Zack doing his back float.


Here he is doing his jump off the diving board.
And while they are having their lessons Tyler loves to entertain me!


He pulled his suit up high on his belly & yelled, "take a picture of me mom!!"

He is our entertainer!!

Last Tuesday, Libby got some "bling-bling"....on her teeth!

She really does look cute with them!

Her teeth were a little sore at first, but she did great!

Happy 4th Of July!!

Our 4th of July girl turned 9!!

Steve still had a smile on his face after lighting MANY sparklers for the kids!
It all went well this year...only one chair caught on fire!
Once it got dark...

Steve & my brother Scott put on a great show for us!
These two crack me up!



Steve getting ready...he brought out a couple ladders this year!

It was their best show so far!

Everyone enjoyed it!

Rockport....

June 2010

Last weekend, we headed up for our 1st camping trip. We went with my sisters Shelly & Sherry & her three kids (John, Josh & Jazzy). The water was still a little too cold & we had some people in the next camp site that were kind of like stalkers...the girl liked my nephew & was constantly staring at us. It was quite interesting & then it got just a little creepy! We always seem to have a few adventures whenever we go.

Of course, we roasted hot dogs and smores.

Did a little tubing...

Libby is growing too fast & her feet were already too big for the ski's we got her last year.
Steve had her try on mine, just to get her used to the feeling, but they were way too big for her.
Then we tried out Steve's new toy...I call it the "dolphin" it's a little motor with handles that takes you around the lake.

Libby & Steve trying it out.

My sister Sherry always takes cute pictures....

Tyler LOVES his daddy!


Me & My crazy Tyler
Whenever I tell him that I love him, he answers, "I love you and dad!"
Did I mention that he LOVES his dad!!
And of course,

His "demon" dog Mickey!

Then the next day, we got on the lake & the battery to the boat was dead for the second time!

Luckily, Steve spent "the best $30.00 ever!" (with this little charger thingy)
and he was right, it started right up!

We weren't on the lake too long, when Steve looked up & noticed some grey clouds & then the wind really started kicking up...then came the fun part of trying to get the boat out of the water. Of course, everyone on the lake rushes over & it's a line, but with a little help from other boaters we got it out safely. Luckily, we had Shelly to help watch the kids!
She's the best !!


I have to admit...I adore her as much as my kids do!



I also have to admit...

This is how I feel when we are done camping & boating!


It is a lot of work!
But, that won't stop us from doing it again!

Especially, because this is who I'm married too! And he LOVES adventures!!
