Swimming Lessons

I am exahsted. The last two weeks we have gone to the pool nearly everyday. Something about the water just makes you tired. It was worth it. All three are much more comfortable in the water and Mallory is well on her way to actual swimming. Lessons at the pool closest to us were full so we ended up across town. We will be going back next year. They have an incredible kids pool that is open for mom and tot swim time during lessons. Not only was it more fun than sitting on the concrete, George got to have some fun too.

Grandma's House

This week the kids have been having lots of fun at Grandma's house. They have done art projects, played in the yard, gone on walks and bike rides, helped Grandma at school and spent several afternoons at the pool where George proved he has no fear. Today they are headed out on a hike in the canyon with Grandpa. Kevin and I have missed them but know that they are having so much fun. Mallory called today and asked if they could stay another week. I had to say no, I miss them too much. (ask me again when they have been home for two weeks and the answer may be diffrent.)

Family Portrait

Fianlly... We have finally taken a new family prtrait. For so long one child or another turned into such a total nightmare that I'm pretty sure we haven't had one taken since before Courtney was born. Sad I know. But here it is in all its glory.



Jana has possesion of the negatives and I will be getting them from her this week to have prints made. YEA!!

Kindergarten Graduation

Can you belive it! All grown up and graduated from Kindergarten. She absolutly LOVED this year. Her favirite part? PE of course!

A hero!

The other day as I was walking home with Courtney and George after taking Mallory to school Courtney shouted, "look mom a hero!." I was quizzical until she finished her thought. "Mom that cloud looks like a hero's." One long cirrus cloud was cutting across the sky. I couldn't help but smile and think this is why we walk instead of drive.

The Cute Report

Kristi is always asking me for "a cute report." I tried using the My Family site, but certainly didn't use it enough, or use the extra features to justify the expense.

So, welcome family and friends to my new blog. It is all about the kids.

Enjoy!
