Swimming Lessons

My life has been so much better now that swimming lessons are over!! I had Kip & Sier in lessons Mon-Thurs every morning from 9:30-10:35. I don't know why, but it just kicked my butt- trying to get ready, and out the door buy the time we needed to be there.

Kip loved the lessons, learned a lot, and can't wait to start them again. Sier, on the other hand, was very cautious about the whole thing. They had to bring in another teacher just for him. Needless to say, Sier really needs lessons again- and is very excited to start them again as well. Sier was just beginning to warm up to the idea just as lessons were ending. I love being a mom!!!!

Let Freedom Ring

The fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. I love the sun, the fun, the late nights, the friends and family....everything. This year the Phisters had a big family reunion, so we were with them a lot this 4th.
The celebration started with the parade.Luckily Marks Parents live right on the parade route, and have some of the best shade in town. While we were at the parade Mark had his Softball Tournament. They ended up only playing 3 games, better luck next year! After the parade was over we went to the park to watch "The Bee Movie." The kids had a lot of fun. On the Fourth we went to watch Kayden & Ethan get pulled behind the four wheelers by their dad and Grandpa. They did really good, and got really dirty. The fourth was just the usual family, friends, and BBQ. It was a great day, ending in some fun Fireworks down at the park. We found out the price you pay for laying right under the fireworks is that ash falls all over you. Oh well....a small price to pay for some good firework watchin!
The next day we were off to 7 Peaks with everybody. It was soooo much fun to take the kids. They love water slides.Kip was able to go on everything, and he almost did....his favorite was the boomerang, which most adults won't even go on. Sier loved the Kid pool and the kid slides, but he also loved the tube slides with us. If you ask Kip what his favorite place on earth is he will tell you 7 Peaks, not Disneyland!
I hope my kids learned that the 4th of July isn't just a fun time of year, but it's a day we celebrate our founding Fathers, and our freedom. Thank you to all the men and women who went before us to give us this beautiful land, and our wonderful heritage. Thank you to everybody who has given their lives to make all of the celebrations possible. God Bless America!!!
