Swimming, swimming and more swimming!










Lately we have been doing swimming lesson every day. Cole and Halley are like little fish swimming in the water and loving every minute of it. Paige is my sidekick and we sit on the side lines and just watch them. They are doing so great! Cole is trying to master his front crawl with his breathing techniques and getting his upper body strong enough to really push him through the water. Halley is really great at the arrow and swimming the front crawl without taking breaths. When Halley adds her breathing she has a harder time, but she is doing great and will get it soon I am sure. They are quite the swimmers.

Buzz Game!!!

Take me out the the ball game... Yep, we took the kids to a Buzz game. Cole had just finished up his T-ball season so we came upon some free Buzz tickets (thanks Uncle Duane) and took the fam. Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Shan were there also, we had a great time. The kids loved there hotdogs and then the popcorn that Grandpa bought us. Had a great time. As you all know it is a slow moving game but Cole had the score board all figured out by the time we left and Halley learned all about outs, and strikes, and balls... good stuff to know. We left the game after we sang the Take me out to the ball game song, after the 7th inning I think... Go late, leave early, isn't that the motto for going to a baseball game. I know that it is mine! Me and Paige

Aunt Shan and Halley

Memorial Weekend!


For Memorial weekend we went down to Fishlake and meet up with some of our old college friends! We stayed in Loa with Greg's grandparents. It was a cold weekend, saw some snow but such is life. Monday we went down to Torrey to do some stuff there. We went on a 4 wheeler ride which the kids loved and just had a good ol' time.

Our Kindergarten Graduate




Good Job Cole!!!! Our first Kindergarten graduate! Cole had his graduation on May 29th!!! His class did a cute little program, they sang a few songs and then there was a cute video at the end. it was really cute. Cole was being really silly in all his pictures that I tried to take that day, so i tried to find the best ones to display. Here is a video of his class singing one of their songs and a cute picture of Cole and his teacher Mrs. Bauer.

Our Preschool Graduate!!!


Congratulations Halley!!! Our sweet Halley is done with preschool. They ended with a cute little program and got scrapbooks of all the things they did this past year. Halley has loved preschool so much. She is sad to be done, but really looking forward to being a BIG kindergartner...

Here is a video of Halley singing one of her preschool songs at the program (I like Friends). She is in the middle wearing a yellow and white striped dress. (Next to the girl with the really big actions)

Paige's Breathing Treatment!!!

The other day Paige got yet another cold and of course it went to her lungs so we had to start doing breathing treatments 4 times a day. She gets really ornery and tired when she gets sick, (imagine that) so I put her on the couch and turned on the machine I started reading her a book and then I went to help the other kids. When I went back to finish reading her book to her I found her like this. She had totally fallen asleep curled up in this little ball with her book in her lap and the machine still running. She has had breathing treatments for so long that she is used to them, it and it really makes her feel so much better and relaxes her!!! Obviously...

Got New Wheels... Bye Bye Paseo!

Honda Pilot here we come. We purchased a new car about 2 weeks ago and are loving it. Cole, Halley and Paige love the new ride, they say "lets get in the Honda Pilot," it is quite cute especially to hear Paige say it. Cole and Halley get to ride in the back and Paige is in the middle seat. The first few times we went in the car Paige would say, "I want to sit in back, with Cole and Halley," she isn't used to riding all by herself, she has been sitting by them all her life. Now she is fine, but I think it was a little adjustment for her. Anyway, we are loving the new car, it if fun and peppy, just my style!!! (We gave the little, cute, fun, long lasting Toyota Paseo to my brother Scott to drive. Take good care of it for us, that is the best car we have ever had! And we have had it for about 13 years now...)
