First Day of Swim Lessons

Ellie had her first day of swim lessons today. She did great for the first ten minutes and then she had to go under the water. She cried the whole rest of the time. I love Sarah for just making her still do it. I am hoping Thursday will go better.

Trip To the Zoo with Friends

Ellie and Rylan


Ethan and his favorite animal the Lion


We went from 110 degrees to 80 degrees so we decided to head to the zoo with some of our friends. We had so much fun. An hour after we got home it started pouring for hours. We planned it just right.

The House

As most of you know for the past 3 years we have been talking and working on building a new house. Well it is almost all done and we have sold it. This has been such a journey for us. We put our hearts into this home. But with the turn of the real estate market we had to make some decisions. With Brandon being in Real Estate we were really affected. Don't feel sad for us because we are really happy that we found a great buyer who loves the house as much as we do. I wanted to share some pictures of it with you. It has 5 bedrooms and is just gorgeous.

Talk, Talk, Talk

Ethan is starting to talk all the time. Last weekend when we were at my moms he would say "I did it!" every time he went down the slide. He is just becoming such a talker. He loves to look out his window in the car and says tree, car and so much more. He loves you to read books to him. I love that he is starting to express himself. There is a stone statue of a lion we pass when we are driving and he gets so excited saying lion, lion.
