Austin had a wonderful birthday party with all of his friends. It was a very warm day so it turned into a swimming party too. Austin had fun picking out his pirate ship pinata. For his special day he got a guitar and played while everyone sang to him. It is a little dark but I thought it was good enough and I had to share. If you want you can go to the end of the blog to turn the other music down so you can hear the singing.
Last week we traveled to Northern California for Nelson's cousin Marlene's Wedding. Austin and Ryan thought she was a "princess". Austin danced with her many times and they had fun dancing with their other cousins too.
Here are some other pictures of Austin at swimming class. I sit behind a glass wall so he can always see me. I love to watch him. Ryan gets to play over to the side in the play area. He enjoys going too. I think next spring he might be ready for lessons too.
In June I had Austin start at Evo Swim school here in Gilbert. He cried the first couple of classes which they said was normal. After just a few weeks he started enjoying it and now he loves to go! He always talks about his teacher David who in this clip is encouraging him to swim to him. Now he wants to put his face in the water all the time. This has to be the best thing I did this summer!
Austin told me he wanted to clean Ryan's room so I left and when I returned they had put just about every toy into the crib. I can't complain at least they were helping!
