Swimming lessons

Today was our first day of swimming lessons. Landon has been so excited to take a swimming class. He did great. His class has 4 children in it and they are all his cousins. It was so cute to watch them learn and play together. We are looking forward to the next few classes with them!

Happy 4th of July!

Last night we went to the SSL city fireworks, something we look forward to every year! I am always excited to visit and catch up with all the people I haven't seen for a while...about a year. This year I didn't see very many, those who I saw it was good to see you and those who I usually see and didn't-I miss ya and hope you are doing well-maybe next year. We did, however, sit in a different area so maybe that is why, anywho, here are a few pics of the evening!

My Dad was sweet and let us borrow ear muffs because my children are not a fan of how loud the fireworks are. Landon, wasn't a fan of the fireworks at all- he first made Jared cover his eyes and then he watched from underneath his blanket. Silly guy!

The SSL city parade this morning. I can not believe how much candy my boys got. I have never seen that much candy at a parade!---Landon was such a fan of the ear muffs he practically slept in them. We had to wear them because the sirens were loud at the parade.

We love Grandma's house!

Here are a few pictures of the fun we have been having while staying at Grandma Susan's house.

Calvin had his very first sucker, thanks Grandma Tess!

Often times, this is our lunch bunch (give or take a few kiddies.)

Look how quickly moods can change when posing kids for a picture. The top picture is the children getting on the swing, getting ready for the picture. The bottom picture is how they ended up after I snapped a few quick pictures.

We went and got family haircuts at cookie cutters. The kids had a blast! (Even though Landon HATES the clippers.) Hallie sat in the pink car, Cole rode on the motorcycle, and Landon rode in the airplane.

We play dress up and run around the house shooting the "Z's" on the walls.
