Swim Class

Kendall started swim class last weekend. IT WAS SO FUN! Troy and I had a blast...oh and Kendall loved it too. She was saying "WEEEEEEE" and she was smiling almost the whole time. My girlfriend, Sigrid, and her son, Ivan, are in the class as well which makes it even more fun. I was the proud parent at the pool snapping photos and taking film..yep I was that annoying parent LOL. Sigrid told me not to feel too silly about it since I didn't do anything to huge to embarrass myself like knock the clock off the wall like her husband did last swim season. He's almost 7 feet so you could see how that might happen. :-)

Kendall knew all about kicking under water since we practice in the bathtub; floating on her back was her least favorite thing which is not surprising. The great thing is that I can take K to the pool to practice anytime I like. So I coaxed myself into a bathing suit and took her yesterday to practice her stroke. She let me put her on her back with her head in the water. It was so great. She also loved swimming with the other kids in the pool. Next week we put our head underwater. We'll see how much she still likes swimming then.

Park Time with Friends

Just before we headed out for the holidays to our respective families, my girlfriend Karrie and her two sweeties, Sophia 3 and Jacob 15 months, met K and I at the park. This was not just any park. This is the meca of parks for young kids. They have four different play areas all of which have swings, slides, forts, and things you can ride; each area gets progressively more advanced. Since it was 70 plus degrees that day, everyone else 4 and under decided they should go to this park also. Oh well we had a great time even if there were a lot of us.


Watch me swing!

I mean really, who doesn't love swings!

Hi Sophia!

Driving the green wagon.

The green wagon has two steering wheels...how does that work?!?!

Since it was only 4:30pm when we finished at the park, K and I decided to go over to the Karrie's house and continue our play time...since we knew our hubbies wouldn't get off work for several hours. Whenever we do that, one of them always comes home early. This time it was mine; he remembered we had church...I forgot and had to rush home!

You guys are so silly!

Thanks for a great time M Family; let's do it again soon.

Walking in My Dad's Foot Steps

Kendall loves shoes! Troy left his shoes in the family room over the weekend and Kendall decided she was going to try to take off with them. It was so funny to try to watch her lift them to walk. She could hardly do it. She cracks me up!
