Summer Lovin'


Landon being a great sport at big brother's swim lessons. Of course it helped that he could play on the splash pad during Chase's lesson.

Chase getting comfortable floating on his back during the first day of class

Getting out of the pool on his own. Part of passing his level was being able to enter and exit the pool independently:)

Doing the "Karate Kid" pose his teacher had the kids do right before they jumped to him in the pool.

I just love the summer. A good part of that lovin' is due to most of my favorite fruits and veggies being in season and cheap, but summer is so much more than that. I love all the time spent in the water swimming, flying kites, vacations, beach trips, etc. We put Chase in swim lessons this year and he LOVED it! He still talks about his teacher, Spencer, and all the fun things he learned in his class. He now knows how to kick in the water, float on his back and front (with a little support), hold his breath under water (for a little over 5 seconds), and dive for rings or sticks at the bottom of the shallow end. Here are some pictures of Chase in his swim lessons...

Happy Birthday Chase!! Jessica the party was a success and Christopher had a great time.

Oh, and speaking of looking great, I thought you are looking pretty good yourself. I noticed at the party that you seem to be looking more slim,actually you look like you were 16 again!

Look at that Chase, he is a fish! How fun to be in swimming lessons, I'm sure he is great at it. We actually just signed Payton up for lessons too, and he's doing better than we thought! Though not as good as Chase yet...and yes, I'm missing that cheap produce in Arizona! Yum!
