Swim Lessons

Getting Ready!

Picking toys out from the bucket with

her teacher, Megan

Daddy! Let's go get the whale!

"Hey guys! How's it goin'?"

"Hey guys, isn't this fun?"

We started swim lessons tonight with McKenzie. We figure it's never too early seeing as how we live on the lake. She's such a big girl and daddy was such a trooper to go in the water with her! If you really want to know what makes a woman love a man more....watch him with her kids. :) This is probably too much information, but there is nothing I find more attractive than watching Rob with the girls. :) He is sooooooooo good with them and really makes them have fun. He was cheering McKenize on in the water and it was the cutest thing ever. And of course, we took tons of pictures. Hmmm...now that I think of it, no other parents were taking pictures. We must be unique! No comments from the peanut gallery.

McKenzie also received her early birthday present from us yesterday! She got a train table. It's huge and awesome. I will try and post a picture of it here if I can find one :) It's great! She loves the one at the library, so we decided to bring it to our house. Today, she also received early birthday presents from Uncle Jon and Aunt Jennie from Washington. She got a princess beach towel....and of course, she took it to swim class! She also got an awseome coloring book, sticker book, and a neato moveable animal book from Aunt Brandy, Uncle Seth, and Cousin Liam. We are so blessed to have such awesome family and friends. :) And yes.........this Saturday is the BIG 2 Dora Party. We have 10 little friends coming over with their mommies and daddies and now I just have to figure out what to feed everybody! I think you can never go wrong with the hot dogs. :)

Today, it was 70 degrees outside. We went to visit one of mommy's old teaching friends, Miss Jen and her husband John and their doggy, Leyland. McKenzie LOVED Leyland and played with his toys with him in his yard. Then, another old teaching friend of Mama's...Miss Joanna came over with Mikias (16 months) to play. McKenzie hasn't quite figured out how to really "interact" yet with other kids, but she and Mikias had fun crawling up Miss Jen's deck stairs! It was a great day.

In two weeks, McKenize will start story time at the library on Tuesdays. It should be fun...it is soooo neat to be in this stage with her.It's like she's a little person now and I want her to experience everything possible. I just love her so much.....as do you if you read this whole blog entry! So....off to bed I go after uploading these pictures. I pray Kylie will stay asleep as she is right now on my chest....She slept 6 hours straight again last night. HALLELULAH!!! :) God is good at providing rest when we need it.

Adios, Mosquitos!!! :)
