Summer Swimmers

Today was Kade's last day of swim lessons. He had a lot of fun! Last year he was terrified to jump off the side and even more terrified to jump off the board. This year it was quite the opposite. He just got right up there first in his class and jumped right in. He is swimming much better than he was last year. His coordination isn't quite there so he'll have to be an advanced beginner I again next year but I think he made great progress. Jeff was quite the crazy man waiting, as you can see from the pics. Maybe next year he'll get to swim.

4th of July!!

We had a fun 4th of July. Our neighborhood does a parade and pancake feed in the morning so we decorated Kade's bike and the wagon for Jeff. Kade was able to ride with the crowd of kids behind the ambulence this year. He thought he was pretty cool. Grandma Ulmer, Grandpa and Grandma Thompson and Steven and Kassie came to cheer them on. After the parade we went to the pool for a bit. Then we had a barbeque with the Thompson's. Lots of good food. That night we went to Storey Park in Meridian. They had jump houses, a climbing wall and live music before the fireworks. Jeff had to stay in the stroller most of the time which he is not liking lately. Poor Jeff. The fireworks were pretty good. We had fun. Jeff didn't quite know if he liked it or night. It kind of scared him.

Trip to Montana

We went to Montana a few weeks ago for my Uncle Greg's wedding. I didn't take any good pictures at the wedding because I was too busy chasing kids around and viisiting. The wedding was on a ranch on the Missouri River. It was really pretty. Kade had so much fun running around and eventually got the job of "can crusher" which he loved. After the wedding we went my grandparents cabin on Sheep Creek. I grew up going there and have many memories there. It is nice to bring my kids there now and make new memories. They both had a lot fun playing in the creek and just hanging out with cousins. We adults had fun swimming, playing cards,eating lots of crap, drinking gallons of pop and just visiting.
