Summer

It's been 2 weeks since we got home and we are into our summer fun. Ethan is doing swimming lessons and I don't mind saying that he is the best one in his class! He is also playing T-Ball. He is on a team that includes kids going into Kindergarten and he will be in 2nd...Needless to say he is the biggest one on the team! In fact he is even taller than one little girl when he is kneeling down!

Carter has mastered his WaveBoard. It is a 2-wheeled skateboard that you balance and move like a snowboard on land. We went to the skate park and all the other bigger boys were impressed!

Olivia learned to swim on our trip. She begs to go to the pool every day. We have only been once but plan on going next week. We hope Marin can come! And when I say she can swim I mean even the lifegaurds at the pool were impressed with how she can breast stroke and come up for air and get in and out of the 4' deep by herself!

You guys have to check out JaDee's sisters puppies. The Yellowstone Mastiff company is up and running. Check out the website at www.yellowstonemastiff.com The puppies are so cute! My kids want one, but they get twice as big as Champ! I think we are OK.

We met Tonya at the Aquarium after we got back. The kids had fun with sharks, stingrays, an octopus and my favorite jelly fish! It is a small aquarium but a really good variety of animals.

So it is business as usual. Oh I ran a 5K and all I can say is I finished. I was really slow. My calf mussels have been really sore since I switched shoes so I am going to try a little faster another time.

And I went camping. I didn't get to cold and I didn't die, so all in all a successful trip. Olivia caught and ate her first fish all by herself. Well the catching part, JaDee cooked it!
