Swim Lessons

This whole month all 3 of my kids have been in swim lessons. Luckily, Sammy and Ben are in the same class and we are taking the lessons at a friends house in the neighborhood (thanks Amy). The lessons have been going so good and I can't believe what fish my kids are turning into. Sammy has great arms and takes LOTS of breaths but is afraid to put her head all the way in the water and won't kick her legs to save her life. Ben kicks so hard with his legs and keeps his head in the water the whole time...he might drown because he won't take a breath and won't use his arms at all...so if I could combine them we would be doing awesome! I swear they are polar opposites in everything! Now that Nathan doesn't cry the whole time..he is rocking! He loves to swim and his learning a ton! Swim lessons are sometimes a huge pain because they cost a fortune and they are such an investment of time..but worth it (especially living in AZ)!






In other news, Sammy is sick with a fever (she was puking yesterday and I thought she was better today...I even took her to Summer Movies..oops), Nathan figured out how to climb out of his pac-n-play (he sleeps in that in my room for naps..its a long story) and decided to destroy my room while he was "napping" today (aka no nap), Ben told me he feels like his "head is going to issplode" (I have no idea where he got that from, ha!) And I have a million things to do today to prep for our Lake Powell trip and don't really want to take care of no-napping sick kids...
Luckily, they are cute!

I hope your little ones feel better soon. That is not fun for anyone! I think I could live in the pool all summer. It's great that they are learning how to swim! :)

That stinks that your kids are sick. Trevor was so worried that our kids would get sick because they were with Sammy yesterday. I kept reassuring him that she was better. Oh well. I hope they are better in time for you to leave. We have swim lessons today that Carter hates so hopefully today will better than last time.

Hey Kyle!! Your kids are so funny! "head is going to issplode" That is way too cute. Kids say the funniest things. I hope you have fun on your Lake Powell trip. I haven't been to Lake Powell in 6 years...which is crazy because we would go every summer. Anyways...we'll catch you later.

Fun! Gotta love sick kids. Makes everything take that much longer and seem that much worse. Glad that swim lessons are going well. Tanner will do his first round of lessons towards the end of June. I'm excited to see how he does. Hopefully by then our pool will be nice and toasty so we can get in lots of practice time. Good luck with everything!

yeah but it's a better work out huh??? sorry, if it gets too out of control just say slow down, I don't think it helped that Becky walks fast to so you probably felt ganged up on.

I didn't think things were good at your house when you didn't answer either of your phones today :).

Hope they are all better! If you need to send them over to play tomorrow, let me know!
