Jumble of July

Some random July pics

Hobbes is a menace, this is where he stands when Lily is trying to eat her food right in front of him. He then bats at her so she will leave and he can eat her food. We have had to quarantine him during meal times for her!

I got the kids in private swim lessons at our clubhouse pool. It has been great! Above is Jaydon floating on his back, next pic is Lucy with her teacher Diego, third is Kate working on stroking around a noodle and the bottom is Lucy and Kate getting started.

Jeremy and I took advantage of Parent's Night Out at our gym and dropped off the kids so we could have a nice anniversary dinner in Old Town. When we were wandering around after we came across this amazing shop and I couldn't pass up a pic of my soon to be 40 year old!

Taking Dad out to ice cream to celebrate his big 4-0! Happy Birthday Babe!

Granny and Papa came down and we got to spend two days together showing them around our town. We hit the water slides one day and these pics were taken there.

Summer Swim Lessons

The kids got to enjoy their 2 week swim lessons at our local outdoor pool again. It is fun but boy am I excited that next year I will get to stay dry and watch from the side so I can see all the kiddos swim and not just Kate. They loved it and did really well.

Swimming Lessons

The kids enjoyed their 2 week swim lessons again at our local outdoor pool.  It was fun that Gram could get into the water with Kate one day so I could take a few pics and not have to get wet.

Kate loved swimming so much that she has now been putting on swim suits (multiple at one time) and wearing them around all day.  It is cute, though also annoying when we want her to be in something besides 3 swim suits.

Swim Lessons

Jaydon and Lucy are back in swim lessons.  Lucy is such a fish and Jaydon is such a scholar.  He listens and works so hard to follow all the teacher directions, Lucy just wants to frolic in the water and is having a bit of a hard time following the "one hand on the wall at all times" rule.  They are both enjoying it and learning quite a bit, we are getting closer to having independent swimmers.

Swim Lessons Week 2

Jaydon and Lucy had their second week of swim lessons.  Both continued to enjoy being in the water.  Jaydon made huge leaps and was even moved up to level 2 for four days of the second week.  It is fun to see them both enjoying the water!

Lucy and her teacher

At level 2 Jaydon still had his one primary teacher but then they would take turns with the other instructors too.

Working on gaining that comfort floating on his back.

Lucy trying out the slide on Fun Friday

Jaydon found some kind of toy

Lucy went off the diving board.

As you can see it is hardly going off the board when one teacher hands you down to the next but still kind of fun!

Jaydon jumping in the first time (the teacher felt the need to help a little more than he wanted so he asked to do it again with less assistance).

Here he goes the second time

So proud of themselves with their swimming certificates!
