Family Pictures

Last week we had some family pictures taken. I think they turned out pretty good. We lucked out with the weather. The past few weeks have been in the low 90’s. We were a little worried when we scheduled them outside that we would be covered in sweat but the weather was perfect. Lacey wasn’t a big fan of getting her picture taken but that could have been because we woke her up from a short nap and put her in her itchy, pretty dress. Jackson did awesome. We got to feed the ducks and he worked it for the camera. If you want to see a few more sneak peeks from our session visit Heather’s blog.

Oh what do you do in the summertime?

OH WHAT DO YOU DO IN THE SUMMERTIME…

Do you have long scary fingers?

Does your dad dress you up in your brothers clothes?

Do you spin kids in a chair?

Do you wear a cute apron?

Do you play in the shade because the other rocks are too hot?

Do you make a cool rocket launcher and launch some great rockets?

IS THAT WHAT YOU DO? SO DO WE!!!

(Sorry it doesn’t rhyme, I’m really not that creative… well, actually I didn’t want to spend that much time thinking about it!)

Summer Fun!

It was a fun day today at swim lessons – it was raining a little bit, which was great! We’ll take rain any day here! We started swim lessons on Monday. After the first 3 days, I am thoroughly impressed! Little Lacey has learned how to close her mouth to go under water, then flip over and float by herself on her back, and also to reach for the wall and monkey walk over to the step. Pretty impressive! We’ve got about 5 days left and its great to see the progress she’s already made. She hardly cries – every time when she gets out it seems like she’s pretty proud of the work she’s just done and what she’s learning. I think Geri is a baby whisperer… She’s the best!

Floating

Monkey walks to the step to get out

Jackson is a pro. He can move around the water, but is definitely improving his kicks and arms. He hates floating, so they’ve been working on that too. He loves swim lessons! What a good boy!

Jackson can’t get enough of the water!

Last weekend Jackson got to go to his first Father’s and Sons! What a blast! He came home as dirty as ever and just wanted to hang out with Dad the rest of the weekend. He was so happy to go sleep in a tent with Dad!
