T-Ball Swim Party

Jonathan loves the stairs area!

Medal presentation with Coach Shane

Andrew getting his medal. Coach Shane said that Andrew was super speedy.

On Saturday afternoon, we went to Andrew's T-Ball swimming party, even though it was 101 in the shade. The boys have discovered the joys of swimming, even if they still won't put their face in the water and they didn't care that it was blazing hot. Coach Shane handed out medals to the team and said their record was 8 wins, 3 losses and 1 forfeit. Not too bad considering the incredible heat these boys played in all June!

Swim Lessons

We started swimming lessons last week and the boys love them. It's a very basic class that is helping with our fear of water. Now they love the pool and want to go all.the.time. Sadly, we don't have a pool membership, and they have to settle for 30 minute lessons for two weeks. This is our last week of lessons, and I'm hoping that they will get brave enough to put their face in the water. The lifeguards aren't very forceful in making these stubborn boys get their face wet, but we have 3 more days, so we'll see what happens. Andrew's class has 5 kids and one lifeguard, and Jonathan's class is a mommy and me class, where the lifeguards tell me how to teach him to swim. Umm, maybe I should've told them that I can't really swim either and they should teach me first. And Hannah hangs out in her stroller. She's such a trooper since these lessons are right during her morning nap. She's pretty happy just to watch as long as someone gives her a toy every now and again. Maybe I'll start her in lessons next summer and she'll get her face in the water.

Fireworks!

The boys watching the fireworks, and yes, Andrew is that sweaty. It was so hot that night. There was no breeze and it was too hot to really enjoy the fireworks.

Someday he won't appreciate this picture, but I couldn't help myself.

We tried to watch our neighborhood fireworks on the Fourth, but it was so hot, we weren't really into it. Jonathan wanted to stay up and watch them, but he didn't like the noise and wore his noise cancellation headphones.

The best part of the night, was when the boys went home with Grandma and Grandpa for a sleepover. The boys were so excited and so was I, but it wasn't so great for Grandma and Grandpa. Jonathan didn't go to sleep until after midnight and was up at 5:45 am asking for a drink. Grandma sent him back to bed, but he was up again at 6:30. Such a short night. He was so tired when I picked him up that afternoon, but they had so much fun!

Happy 4th of July!

Here are some pictures of the cherubs on the 4th and Hannah in her patriotic dress she wore on Sunday. I loved it way more than she did. She had some trouble crawling in it, but I don't know that that is necessarily a bad thing!

Birthday fun continues

I love this picture! Andrew is investigating the contents of the box and Jonathan is soaking it all in.

So excited for more tiny Legos!

More Rescue Heroes!

Around here, birthdays last more than one day. And why not?! Sunday after church, we let Andrew open his presents from Grammy and Grandpa. They were a big hit! Thank you Grammy and Grandpa for the great presents! Andrew (and Jonathan) love them!

Birthday party!

Blowing out the candles

Happy girl, even if she didn't get a cupcake! (She did get a little bite of Freddy's frozen custard, which she LOVED!)

Andrew enjoying both birthday treats - chocolate cupcakes and a Freddy's frozen custard cake. So yummy!

Everyone was a little sluggish at this point. We were just finished devouring fresh salsa, homemade guacamole, hamburgers and hot dogs, watermelon, potato salad, and a Greek garbanzo bean salad. OK, so Andrew only ate very few items from this list, but we can't just eat from Andrew's limited menu!

The birthday boy!

All the little cousins wore birthday hats, even Hannah.

Luke and Jonathan sitting in as back-ups in case Andrew needed help unwrapping. He's about to open walkie-talkies. He was so excited for these! He also got a cool bug catcher, a Cars watch, and some books. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa and the Eigstis for celebrating Andrew's birthday with us!
