Summer, Week 4 -What? It's going by so fast!!!

Still sooooo busy. Last week we:
-Continued to have swimming lessons everyday, everyday, everyday.
-Took the kids to eat free breakfast & lunch almost everyday at the school. This remained total insanity and chaos with the whole swimming lessons thing!
-Took the kids to see Igor at the Scera summer movies. Nick declared this movie very scary and was not impressed at all.
-Went to the library for story time & Skylar's story & craft class. She made some boats.
-Took Alexis to her 9 month checkup. She continues to be such a tiny little squirt and is now only in the 1% for both height and weight. She is 14.6 pounds and 25 inches. But, hey, she's doubled her birth weight finally!! Other than being teeny, she's doing great and hitting all the milestones-sitting up, army crawling, waving, etc. She's growing up too fast! Sad!-Finished up swimming lessons with a fun day of play. My kids did absolutely fantastic this year! At the beginning of the session, Skylar was still having a hard time with putting her face under the water and now she's swimming underwater like a fish! Nick's teacher said that he's the best floater that she's ever seen for his level and Kade's teacher said he is an excellent bubble blower! Way to go kiddos!!
-Since the kids wanted to show off their new swimming skills and their cool new goggles, we headed to my mom & dad's pool along with my brother, Eric's, kids up from St. George (Eric & Jen are back in Maine-lucky!). We all had a great time trying to get in as much swimming before the rain hit. Alexis was having such a blast and kept giggling and kicking her feet. The only one that didn't seem to have such a great time was poor Seth, who just broke his arm and had to literally hang out by the side of the pool! What a great sport!




















-My niece, Cassidy, came home with us for our annual sleepover. The girls have so much fun doing this. We had a girl's night full of fun. On the way home we stopped and did some shopping and some dinner at IKEA. At home we had a Michael Jackson remembrance dance party and had a great time! Unfortunately, Ben had the camera, so I missed out on filming the awesome dancing! But believe me, those girls could boogie!
-Meanwhile, the boys headed out to the West Desert with Ben for the Father's and Sons campout for our ward. Being the EQ president, Ben was pretty much in charge of it this year and has been stressing for the last month or so in pulling it all together. From all reports, I hear he did a great job! The only real issue they had was a bit of afternoon rain on Friday. But they had a lot of fun and of course, some good ol male bonding time!
