Summer Fun

This is the first week of summer vacation. We took the boys camping this past weekend to Yogi Bear. They had a good time swimming and playing on the playground. We found out they are growing up fast, as they played for hours on the playground while we watched from our campsite.
Both Josiah and Isaac started swimming lessons this week. They go 5 days a week for 2weeks, in the morning. First day dan and I were worrying the lessons would scare them from the water. These are serious lessons. Neither of the boys have really swam without life jackets before. The first day they had all the kids take turns swimming the length of the pool. Josiah went in after two nine year old boys who swam the whole length. He tried his best and made it 1/4 of the way. They had him get out and sit along the side of the pool to decide which level he would be at. Isaac came along and got in the pool with help and got out of the pool. He is in the lowest level and Josiah is in the third level. The first day Isaac wore a bubble around his belly and a noodle. He was told to move along the wall with his hands. Problem...he wouldn't move. By the end of the class, he was doing a little better. When I told him we were coming back the next morning, he told me he didn't want to do his lips. I think they wanted him to put his face in the water. "No mom i'm not doing my lips." By day two he was swimming all over with the noodle and bubble. He was waving to us in the bleachers, swimming backwards..not listening to his instructor. Josiah has enjoyed the lessons from day one. He loves the water and got to swim with fins on his feet. I think we found something he really enjoys with swimming.

Kindergarten graduation

Josiah had his kindergarten graduation last week. We couldn't be happier with this past school year for Josiah. He had such a special teacher this year, which really helped him boost his confidence and enjoy making friends this year. He will really miss Mrs. McCormick. He had learned how to read this year, and one night we heard him singing a song in Spanish. When I asked him to repeat it I could hear it was Twinkle, Twinkle little star. We were shocked he sang the entire song to us. It will be an interesting next year to have him gone all day 5 days a week in first grade.

Isaac's Last Day of Pre-school

Here are a few pictures of Isaac's last day of pre-school. He had such a great year at Rose Park. His teachers were awesome and he will miss all of his friends this summer. Next year he is off to Great Lakes with his brother. Look out Great Lakes.

Josiah the pet vet

Josiah had community day at school today. He couldn't stop talking about it when I picked him up from school. Tonight he has decide to become a veteranary when he grows up. So fun to watch him change his interests from day to day. Last week he wanted an incubator for his next birthday. They were hatching chicks in his classroom. He found one in the Tractor Supply catalog. Then when I told him our friend Abby had her baby he casually said, "Oh, she cracked it out." So cute to see how his mind works.
