Swimming in MAY!

It has been a beautiful weekend and even better Monday! Sunday, we had the chance to go swimming over at Nanny and Poppy's. The water was 84 degrees and it was fun! The boys still remembered how to swim from last season (phew...only 2 more left to teach). As much as Jocie wanted to swim without arm floats, she decided it was much easier to swim with. Little Katie was a little apprehensive at first, but by the end of the day, she was saying, "Mommy let go" and "1, 2, 3 jump". Mommy let go...wow - we're growing up!


Jordan, Colin, and Jocie - first swim of the season.


Look at Goggle Girl - sooo cute!


Today, was very warm with a nice breeze. I had to take a shot of my beautiful African Violets. They are blooming so beautifully!


After preschool today we enjoyed the weather at the neighborhood park. The girls loved the tire swing!

Hope you have a wonderful week!

And the golf season begins...

Saturday began with Jordan participating in a Drive, Chip, Putt Competition. Jordan was in the youngest age category and did pretty good considering he's only had one lesson and it was only on driving. That said, he learned that the weekly topic of PATIENCE, is especially important when it comes to putting. Jordan had very little patience when it came to putting so needless to say that showed up when he missed all 5 putts. They got 2 swings per hole. :) Today while watching him, I learned that Jordan golfs a lot like me...tee up the ball and swing - no practice swings, just get up there and do your thing. That's probably why we both have LOTS of room for improvement. :)

Nanny and Poppy took the youngest 3 out to breakfast at IHOP and Jordan and I joined after his competition was over. Jordan had definitely worked up an appetitie, but then again the pancakes were yummy! After breakfast we headed over to Nanny's for a short visit and then headed home. I had hoped to work outside in the yard today, but it was windy and rainy most of the day.

Dad went to an all day Men's conference and really enjoyed it. We're glad he had the opportunity to get away for a Saturday and grow spiritually. What a good dad!

Sorry no pictures today. I'm hoping to get some pictures of the kids from this past winter up in the next couple of days.

Love to all of you!
