A lot to blog about....4th of July, play dates, and swim lessons!!

So I know it has been awhile since I have blogged, as we all know summer time can be even busier than the rest of the year! For me that is the case!! Kenzie has been going to summer camp 2-3 times/week and she absolutely LOVES it! The coaches are awesome and they do everything from arts-n-crafts to gymnastics to dance to water fun outside...etc...! She has also been taking swim lessons, and is doing FABULOUS!! In just 1 week she went from being total freaked out to even put her face in the water, to now swimming across the pool with her head totally submerged and only coming up for 1 breath in the middle. She is great at holding her breath, and 1/2 the time starts with plugging her nose and then 1/2 the time doesn't even need to! Her swim teacher is awesome, she is the Capo High water polo coach and kenzie really likes Miss Jenny!

I am so proud of her and hopefully by the end she be able to paddle on her own!!


The 4th of July also just passed and Adam and the girls went up to Mark and Stacie's house for the weekend, sadly I got stuck working and couldn't go. It was my 1st 4th w/out my girls and missed them terribly!! They had a really good time though lots of water fun and the girls both talk non-stop about the water slide!! I know Adam was happy to see Mark, it is sad for him to know he is moving so far away( Pensacola Florida) for all who don't know, Adam's brother Mark is in the Navy and just got accepted to the Blue Angels!!! It is a huge honor and we are all so very proud of him! And to be totally honest we will probably see them more now than we did when they were 4hrs. away.....weird how those things work!

Trying to keep kids busy during the summer may be a little more challenging, but actually I love all the stuff that summer entails.....swimming and the lake, just lots of outside play. Kenzie has a really great little group of friends that she made in school last year and all the moms are great also, so we all switch off on hosting play dates and giving each other a break, I had the girls yesterday minus a few that were on vacation.

All in all so far we are having a great summer! Haylee just goes with the flow and I am still working, so we are pretty busy, but Healthy-Happy-and Together!!
