Staucie and Parker had swimming lessons for the first time this year. They went to Miss Lori's house and she was awesome!
The first time we took the 4 kids to the pool this year, they all cried and were scared of the water. Swimming lessons was 4 days a week for 2 weeks and when they were done they felt like pros!
They can jump off the side of the pool. They are practicing their strokes and going under water now! It's a miracle for my scardy cats!
I am glad they have an opportunity to learn to swim, go under water, etc. I don't know how to swim and I have to plug my nose to go under. I am glad they are learning to blow out their nose the right way.
Next year we will put Bensen in swim lessons too.
This year I took Addie to her Aunt Brittany's because I knew she would just run and run. Bensen came with me and hardly moved while on my lap.
Every Saturday we have been going to the pool. Staucie and Parker wear their floaties and think they can "swim" now. Parker loves to go under water and even opens his eyes. Bensen is of course clingy, and Addie just wants to run. We decided this last Saturday that we need 3 adults. One for Staucie and Parker, who want to play in the big pool. One for Bensen, who wants to play in the little pool or hang onto you. And one to chase Addie around, who runs back and forth to the pools and is in and out of the water and all over the place (she is a lot of work). Hopefully, next year will be less work :)

I love the swimming pictures. I'm so glad their lessons were so successful. Sheena, I had no idea you can't swim. Seriously, I am shocked since you grew up with a boat that I just assumed you knew. ha Maybe next summer they can come here and swim every day.
Oh so fun!
i love their sweet little faces in the water!! how precious! glad that they are not afraid of the water anymore!
I am SO excited that we get to see all of you!! Bring your swimsuits so we can all go swimming in our pool. We can't wait to see you! Love you!
