What We've Been Up To

Our summer can be summed up with one word.....SWIMMING!!
I put Hayden in swim lessons this year and he is LOVING it. His favorite teacher was Miss Sammie. She is the cutest most energetic person I have ever met. And she loves Hayden which is easy to do!! He gets so excited when he sees her at the pool. This session his teacher is Miss Nicole. She super sweet and he is warming up to her. I don't have pictures of them yet.
Earlier this summer he would freak out if water got in his face. He wouldn't jump in from the side. Honestly didn't really care about the water. Miss Sammie changed all that. We went swimming last night in Sharon's pool without his floaties and he was dunking and kicking and splashing. It was so fun. I am so proud of his progress.
We have also gone swimming a lot with our friends at the public pools. They are so much fun with the slides and waterfalls. Back yard pools are nice, but these are a fun change.
Here is Hayden and Mason daring the waterfall. This was earlier in the summer and Hayden wasn't to thrilled about water in his face. We are taking Shi and Nat here when they come next week, so we'll see how he likes it now.
Hayden was entertaining Noah for a minute. I think he was trying to tickle his feet.
What fun would a Slip N Slide be without a little butt crack? He could not keep his pants pulled up this day. It was so funny. Shelly kept trying to get a good picture cause it was so cute!!
One more just for fun. Thanks Shelly for running around the yard to get a picture. I love them!!
That's all for now cause my computer is slowing down. It's still not itself and we can't figure out why. I've got to get my house cleaned up cause my Mom's plane is coming in a few hours. Yikes!! Court was so sweet and cleaned up on Thursday for me, but then made a big fat mess trying to get packed for his trip. That's okay, he just better bring back TONS of yummy fish to fill my freezer!!

Another Story

My camera is broken and someone(Court) thought that a new BBQ grill was more important than and new camera right now. Dinner sure has been tasty this week though. Anyway, I love pictures, but you'll have to go without a little longer. I got a new fancy phone and it's so fancy that I can't figure it out. It takes really nice pictures, but I don't know how to get them on the computer. I should just email them to myself. That would be easier than trying to make sense of the instruction manual!

Okay, so the cute story. Last night we were reading books and Hayden kept asking for "one more" so after the third "one more" I said "Hayden, Mommy's eyes are so tired I can't even keep them open anymore. Look, they can't open they are so so tired" He put his little hands up to my eyes and touched them and said "but they seem pretty tired", then his hands moved to my arms and he said "and your arms are tired and your knees"(moving his hands there). Short pause "But my bed is not tired"
Where does he come up with these things?

The Letter J

I hear Hayden yelling from the bathroom a few days ago "Hey, that looks like a J poop. Mommy come see my J poop" Sure enough, "it" had landed in the shape of the letter J. Then just a few minutes ago I hear with a little more excitement "Mommy I did another J poop, come see" Once again, "it" had landed looking like the letter J, only backwards. Is that talent or what? Watch out America, here he comes!!

Free Fallin'

Today Hayden and I went to Taco Bell for lunch and I thought it was rather loud in the place and didn't even know that there was music playing. All of a sudden Hayden said "Mommy, this is a good song." So I listened a little more careful and heard John Mayer's Free Fallin' playing. Then I laughed. Does my kid have good taste in music or what?
