Father's Day 2011

Our month is crazy busy!! We celebrated Father's Day with Eric earlier this week so we could have some special time with him. When he got home from work, the kids surprised him with a card and present, and then we took him to dinner at one of his favorite restaurants.

Saturday evening we spent the evening with Bampa. I forgot my camera. The kids love their Bampa and we are so thankful for all he does for us!

Sunday was my brother David's farewell and we had a crowd over for dinner that evening. We got some pictures with the grand kids and Pa and then my sibling with my Daddy. I love my Dad so much! He is the most amazing man I know and I am so thankful for all he has taught me (even math).

Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful father's in our lives. We love you so much!

Swimming Lessons

Swimming lessons ended last week. The kids were very disappointed, and I was grateful. They wore me out and I don't really enjoy swimming when it's only 60 degrees outside. But we sacrifice for our kids, right?

We were surprised and grateful to find Aunt Dee waiting for us on the last day of lessons. She had brought her camera to take picture of the kids. I was especially grateful, because I couldn't take pictures since I was in the pool with Tess.

Since it was the last day of classes, the kids got to play a little more than usual.

I swear my kids would live in the water if I let them. They have no fear and love being in a pool!

Tessa learned how to jump in the pool and Adam is working on his breast stroke.

The last couple days of classes, Adam's teacher let his class start jumping off the diving board. I had a hard time not being in control of that situation (I am working on letting him go....). Adam LOVED it! Dee got some video of Adam jumping, but the blog won't upload it. It was hit favorite part of swim lessons this year! Thanks Dee for taking pictures for us!
