Bailey's swimming lessons

Bailey of course did excellent in swimming

she does so well

her strokes and technique are excellent

she did really well
her teacher would always call on her as the example

she worked really hard

and she passed with flying colors

she only needs to practice on her diving

Morgan's swimming lessons

Morgan loved swimming lessons

she was a little worried about having to be in the deep

but her teacher was very good

about making her comfortable when she couldn't touch

she finally realized that if she could swim

it didn't matter if the water was 3 feet

or 30 feet

it was the same when you swim

she even started diving off the diving board

and she passed her class with flying colors!

She always hopped out of the pool with her big smile

I just love that smile!

Owen's swimming lessons

Owen had swimming lessons first

so I didn't get any of him hanging out before

He loved swimming lessons!

He loved diving for the rings the best

he is a little fish

Owen never went through a 'scared of water' phase

like the other kids did

if he could live in water he would

he learned a lot during lessons

he started floating on his back really good

he started getting down the strokes really good

and he started diving really good

I am so proud of him

and I know that he will get better every year!

Swimming lessons for Reagan

Man!

I am so behind on my blog!

I keep thinking that it will just magically get caught up

but somehow it just doesn't!

The kids took swimming lessons last month

and since there are a ton of pictures

I am going to do a post for each kid

there will still be tons of pictures!

Anyways....

Here are Reagans pictures

I wasn't going to put her in lessons

but at the last minute I decided to

IF there was a class open during the time the others had lessons

and luck would have it that there was an opening

I was a little worried about it

(she is such a mommies girl

if she could be attached to my hip she would be happy!)

Well the first class she cried the ENTIRE time

but I didn't run to her 'rescue'

I talked to her teacher after the class

wondering if she was alright with Reagan crying

she said that she was okay with the crying if I was okay with it

so the second day she cried the first five minutes

then she was fine the rest of the time

I am so happy that we got her in lessons

when we go to the pool she is a little fish

she love diving for rings

she loves getting her face wet

and she loves trying to float on her back

we will defiantly get her in again next year!

Orem Owlz game

On July 26th, we were invited to go to an Orem Owlz game

it was pretty fun

we got popcorn, hot dogs and a drink

all for just $1 each!

the kids watched the first little bit

But they soon realized that there was a playground

and they spent the rest of the time on it...

I promise that Owen was not going to hit this boy

he was just telling him to keep on moving up

Owen soon found out that

the boy passing him was pretty scary

so Owen continued up to the top

Bailey and Savannah hit it off pretty good

this is the first time that they have seen each other in about 7 years

at first they were shy but once they warmed up they had fun!

Is sticking out your tongue hereditary?

As I was going through the pictures

I noticed that Owen, Reagan and Chase all had pictures

with their tongues hanging out

I thought it was pretty funny!
