Swimming with the Family

Kraig played in the SCC Swingfest golf tournament this weekend so Sunday morning I met up with Kristen, Brian, Ryan, Lisa and the kids to swim for a bit.  We had a great time and after our swim party we had lunch outside on the patio at Las Fajitas so the kids could run around.  This was Taylor's first lunch out!  Thanks for the pics Kris!!!  As you can see the kids all had a great time together!

Kraig and Jason Fields won 2nd in the tournament and won the Calcutta overall!  So proud of you babe!

Fun In The Sun

Sunday Kraig and I took the kids to the pool around 12:15.  The kids LOVE it and it was nice to get outside!  Taylor loved sitting in the shade with the breeze.  I still can't get in the water yet so I sat wth my feet in the pool for a bit while Kraig held Taylor so I could spend some outside time with Lauren and Colton.  It was a fun time for all!

Lauren's Swim Lessons at Swim Ranch 2012

Lauren's swim lessons are M-F from 3-4 pm this week.  Once you turn 4 they don't offer the weekend classes so I took her Monday and Tuesday and Kraig is taking her Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

We no longer get in the water with them either like we still do with Colton.

This is the 2nd year she is in lane 1 and she is doing great!

Floating

Watching the teacher with the other 3 kids in her class

Swimming with the kick board

Swimming by herself

This girl LOVES to jump in and now wants to jump without anyone catching her because she is not afraid to go under the water this year.  Actually that's one of her 'tricks' this year..."hey mom watch this".  :-)

My mom came to watch so she took some photos for us.  It is over 100 degrees outside this week so needless to say being 9 months pregnant I was a little sweaty even sitting in the shade!

Day 2

Floating on the kick board

Swimming with face in the water

Jumping in again!

Jumping off the diving board!

High Five's from the teacher 

At the end of class each day they go to the board and mark their accomplishments for the day.

Colton's Swim Lessons - Day 1

Thanks Uncle Brian for taking pictures!

2011 vs. 2012

Climbing out of the pool on their own

Getting back in...

Kicking our feet

The biggest issue Kristen and I both had on day 1 is we just got back from vacation where the kids got to play in the pool for 7 days!  So Colton and Ava wanted to play at swim lessons too!  They both kept wanting to jump in the pool vs. climbing in.  :-)

Colton's Swim Lessons 2011 - Day 2

This is Colton's 2nd year to go to the Swim Ranch in Fayetteville. He is not so sure about it this year...he would much rather be in a floatie just floating around the pool. :-) He at least got to share the fun with his cousin Ava!

Pictures are from July 16th...I'm a little behind on adding them.
