Swimming Lessons

Kelli Jo and Zoey LOVE swimming.  Ava loves playing in the water for a few minutes and then getting out, wrapping up in a towel, getting warm, playing with some water toys, jumping back in for a minute or 2, getting out and wrapping up, etc. etc.

These last 2 weeks have been swimming lessons for all three.  Unfortunately Ava was sick the entire first week and missed out a lot.  Her first couple of days this week she struggled a bit.  I had to keep telling her to stay in or get back in the water.  She wasn’t so sure she wanted to be in there.

However 2 things got her loving it…. A little game called Motor Boat

As well as jumping in from the side and off of the diving board.

After a few days she was loving it and I didn’t have to monitor her at all.

Kelli Jo and Zoey love swim lessons.  Kelli Jo has been a fish for a while and Zoey has really just turned into one.  Zoey has no fear and goes at everything full force, so while the other kids in her class are kneeling at the side to practice dives.. Zoey runs up and jumps right up and dives in, splaying her legs all about.  Kelli Jo is not afraid either, but likes to try to have a bit better form and do it “right”.  I think they will be sad when tomorrow’s lesson is all over.

Revamp!

I have been blogging for years using our mac program iWeb that was hosted by MobileMe.com.  So much for that, since they stopped hosting it.  So here I am starting a brand new blog.  It’s kind of nice to get a new look, a somewhat fresh start, but it’s also a big pain to change everything.  You will all need to save ourstarting5.com as our new blog address.

This is what we have been doing the past couple months that I have not blogged…

Zoey graduated from Kindergarten

We moved back home

We have had BBQs with friends

Kelli Jo turned 8

Then she was baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints by Chris

So that’s basically it.  Kelli Jo and Zoey are both doing tennis, basketball, and piano.  Both Ava and Beckham have had their turn being sick.  Beckham continues to grow and get better and better at walking.  Chris is taking some classes toward graduating.  We are just enjoying being together as a family in our home.  We love Summer.
