Fishing and the Farm

Wow! I am way behind on my posts. Last weekend my parents kept the kids while Taylor and I had a garage sale. They had a great weekend. They rode behind Bumpaw's bike to the pond, went fishing, and even want to a farm. Thanks for all the fun Grammy and Bumpaw!

Swimming Lessons

Our summer has gotten off to a great start. We've had playgroup the last two Mondays and have started spending every other day at the pool. The kids both started lessons last week and will continue this week. Sophie is doing great and making a lot of progress. John Curtis had a rough start and I had to be in the water right next to him. He finally swam on his own Thursday with his floaties on. Sophie also started a little ballet camp today and will go back on Wednesday. It was sort of a trial run to make sure she liked it before we registered for the fall. She had a great time so I guess we'll be buying ballet shoes now. Here are some pictures of the kids in swimming lessons.

Summer Has Begun!

This is the kids' first week of summer and they have already been swimming twice.  Monday was the first day dry enough and warm enough to venture out to the pool.  Unfortunately, the pool was very cold.  It didn't stop the kids from having fun, though.  Today we met some friends for more swimming fun.  It still isn't warm enough for me to get in past my legs, but summer is definitely here.

Sophie was freezing on Monday.

Father/Son Camping Trip

On Friday Taylor and John Curtis went camping with their friends Matt and Evan.  

Mr. Matt was smart and got a campsite right next to the playground.

For hours the boys ran up this ramp, threw off their flashlights, and ran back down to pick them up.

Up they go again

This is so much fun!

Art Museum Field Trip

We have a pretty neat art museum here in San Angelo.  Who knew we were so cultured?  Sophie's class took a trip there on Friday.  I'm not sure how impressed they were, but they had a good time.

Look at that!

What is it?
