Staying Cool!

The boys just finished their first session of swimming lessons. They have all improved so much since last year. We drove to Henderson because Boulder City won't take all three in the pool at the same time. Henderson splits up the classes which works out perfectly for our family. Also, we are doing swimming lessons with their buddies Hunter and Max which they LOVE. Marshall is in the more advanced class. The boys LOVE swimming lessons and it keeps us busy!!
Kason used to just sit on the edge or on the step. This year he isn't as afraid. He is starting to swim and is comfortable with a kick board or a life jacket in the deep end.
Brigham started out a little scared of the water. This is his first swimming lessons he has ever had!! By the end he was putting his head under water by himself with smiles all around!!
This is Kason's swim class doing the train on the last day!!
During our 1 week break from swimming lessons we are still finding ways to stay cool. We cleaned out our hot tub and thought we could use it as a pool but then we found out it needs ALOT of work:(. Eventually we will get it working!! For now we discovered these AMAZING water spears at the dollar store. The boys LOVE them!! In fact, we just went to the dollar store and bought 15 of them for Marshall's B-day party which is in a couple of weeks!! They are such a hit!!

We LOVE those water gun things! Maylee has one and Makelle has a little one. I am so happy the boys liked swim lessons. I can't decide if I will put Maylee is or not. I think she would just sit on the step! I love waking up to pictures of these cute guys!!

Great pictures. The boys are really learning and doing neat things. You guys are great at providing all these cool things for them to get involved with.
