swimming lessons!

Aidan did SO well with his swimming lessons again this summer, 

here's some pictures from his last class!

Getting wet!

I love that Pam (his teacher) emphasizes the importance of the kids learning to 

get their face & eyes wet.. Aidan has mastered this, he used to be so afraid! :)

Practicing arm strokes

Arm strokes & kicks with his face under water! 

Like I said.. HUGE improvement this year, 

Aidan went completely underwater!

Go buddy go! 

I was so proud watching him, he is going to become a great swimmer!

(Addie even enjoyed watching, we were right by the edge.. so she & I got splashed a bit too!)

Flashes of Our Lives- Week 10

I don't know why, but this week was especially hard for me.. 

I think that I was trying too hard to get the pictures, when I should have just

been snapping away.. oh well.. here's the photos I did get!

Country- 

Our old deteriorating barn is all country to me!

Games- 

Adalyn has been impossible to feed lately,

it's like she's playing games with me.. 

trying to play or making smiley faces at Daddy all the time!

Victorious-

Aidan was beyond ecstatic when he filled up his sticker card this week.. 

we keep track of his good behavior & he is rewarded by it,

this time with a coveted G.I. Joe toy that he had been wanting!

SO glad we have found a system that works perfect for him (& us!)
