Swimming Time!

Every summer we sign the kids up for swimming lessons and they love every minute of it. Talan can't swim by himself yet, but he has no problem going all the way under in the water and he is starting to learn how to doggy paddle. His favorite thing beside the slide is jumping into the water.

Jayden has really come along in his swimming. He can swim by himself for a little bit. He jumps off in the deep end and swims back to the side. Is it good form? No. But he is really proud of himself and it puts me more at ease to know that if he fell in deep water he could get himself out. Yesterday, was the last day of swimming lessons, but we have all summer to swim in our community pool!!!! One of the many reasons I love summer!

Happy 7th Birthday, Jayden!!!

Wow! Time flies when you're not paying attention! On May 31st, we celebrated Jayden's 7th birthday. I'm still in denial that I have a seven year old. We celebrated his birthday at Southeastway Park with a couple of Jayden's good friends and family. It's a nice place to have it since our house isn't very big and it can get crowded very quick. Not to mention, the kids love getting to play on the playground. We had pizza and cake and then Jayden opened all of his great gifts.

Jayden wanted Jarrad to make him a motocycle cake this year and I think he did a great job considering he was suffering from some major jet lag. He got home from Japan the night before Jayden's party, so it definitely wasn't a restful weekend. I think Jayden had a great time. Happy Birthday, Jayden!!! We love you!
