San Jose Wedding

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.

More Swimming

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.

Swimming School

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!

My Helpers

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!

Hotels are Fun!

Is there anything more fun when you are little than sleeping in a different bed! It is funny how we may not feel this way as adults!

Vacation

This weekend we went to a local resort and yet it felt like we really were on vacation. We went with our friends the Flanagan's and it was a blast! We got to swim and play in the lazy river and water slide for two days. We took turns taking Austin down the water slide and he loved it! The minute we finished he would say "AGAIN, AGAIN". Ryan enjoyed the pool that had a very shallow end that he could play in. They both participated in a watermelon eating contest. Yummy! It was 115 degrees the first day we were there but we all kept cool in the water.

Lake Pleasant

We went camping a couple of weeks ago to Lake Pleasant and it was great. It was very hot but luckily there was a great swimming pool. When we were at the pool Austin was showing us how to "swim". At this point he had only taken three swimming lessons and was putting his face in the water and kicking. We were amazed at his great progress!
