Starfishes!!!

The boys had their last swimming lesson on Saturday. (I was playing around with a new lens so some of them are blurry, but the expressions are too cute to delete!)

  One of their favorite parts of swimming lessons is when we first get out and they can stand in the shower and hit the pole!

Grammy and Nate right before a submersion, the boys LOVE going under the water!

Look out Aunty you've got a splasher!

The boys LOVE to splash!

The boys all passed their Starfish lessons, they even got little report cards!  SO cute :)  Thanks so much for everyone that came swimming with us, we couldn't have done it without you!!!

Swimming Lessons

Today was our second swimming lesson.  The first one was SO much fun.  The boys loved it, and they didn't even have a fit when we got out.  Kels and my dad were coming with us this week and I had been telling them ALL week long about how fun it was...this week, not totally the case!  They were happy for the most part...just not the entire part!

Here is Lucas waiting to go in...

 Grandpa and Matty checking out the trees

When it is time to go into the pool we set the boys on the stair and let them come in on their own.  The boys can barely be sat down on the stair because they just want to get in there and play!  As soon as their feet hit the water they bend down and start splashing!

Out in the pool with part of our class!

I think that we just finished playing timmy turtle :)

The boys' favorite part is jumping off the edge of the pool into the water...

ready...set...

Jump!!!

again!!!  I love Lucas's expression in this one!

Three Little Swimmers

So I was a little bit nervous about taking the boys swimming for the first time...but today we took them and it went better than I could have ever imagined!

Here are the troops getting the boys readyAll the swimmers ready to head in!

My three fellas loving their first swim

When Lucas was held on his tummy he would kick his legs and swing his arms. He LOVED it!

All three fellas playing in the fountain! It was pretty funny because they kept trying to grab the water.

Enjoying the hot tub before going home...the boys were go go go in the kiddie pool and then when we got into the hot tub they were so still, SO relaxing!

The after shot!

The boys did NOT have a great nap this afternoon, then went swimming, and skipped their 4:00 catnap so we were sure they would go to bed easy tonight. After jumping and supper I took them for a quick walk and this was what happened...

Since they were SO tired and SO asleep I thought to myself how perfect this was going to be...take them out, feed them and then put them in bed...

NOT QUITE!!!

This was what was going on in our house an hour later...apparently they thought that their 20 minute nap was enough to get them through for a little longer!

Luckily they eventually (like an hour past normal bedtime) all ended up asleep in bed, and I am not too far behind!
