Ethan's First Big Boy Swim Class

In June Ethan and I did a Mommy and me swim class at the YMCA in Dripping Springs. The instructor felt like he was ready for the next level...thank goodness as we were the oldest in the Mommy and Me class. The instructor mentioned it might help Ethan progress if we got him a pair of goggles. I think the ONLY word Ethan heard was - GOGGLES!!! He talked about getting them for the rest of the day.

Last Saturday was the first day of his 'Big Boy' swim class. He was so excited to see what 'Big Boy' swim class had to offer and of course try out our new goggles. Unfortunatly, the swim instructor did not show...what a bummer. We will try again this Saturday. I will keep you up dated.

Showing off our cool goggles.

We are so excited about our swimming lesson!

Kate's New Milestone

Kate has been crawling for about 2 weeks now. Each day, getting faster and exploring more. She has also started pulling up on her knees. Well, we have now figured how to pull up to standing!!! Time to lower the matress - again. I will post some pics soon...as soon as I find my camera!

Ethan's SMALL request

Yesterday, as Ethan and I are walking out of HEB he looks up at me and says, "I want a baby brother to play with." "Hmmm- really," I state; "What about your sister Kate. You can play with baby Kate." Ethan's response, "No, she is a girl. I want to play with a boy named Brother."

Ethan was pretty cute with his LITTLE request, but unfortunatly I am going to have to break his heart on this one. Though, this morning on the way to school, he thought he would pick one of his friends to be his BROTHER for the day. That will have to do.

The things kids say:0) Gotta love them...

Blog Under Construction ****Update****

OK...it is official...I have NO clue what I am doing and now my blog is REALLY ugly and boring!!! But help is on the way - my good friend from high school is going to take this blog from drab to FAB! I am SOOOO excited, I can't wait.

If anyone has any good ideas for a blog title, I am open as I am not the most creative person. I like to try though.

July 4th celebration on July 3rd!!

We went to Aunt Sissy's house (Sandi's) for a day of hanging out and swimming. We had a great day of swimming, eating and more swimming!!!! Ethan "had" to use goggles and we could not take them off. Not even to eat a snack. It was pretty funny. Ethan did pretty good 'swimming' and jumping off the edge and going under. Though, he did cut up his feet pretty bad playing on the step. Just another reason for us to learn to swim like a big boy.
