SUPERHEROES!!!


I was looking through some old pictures yesterday and this one made me laugh so hard. I love the expressions on their faces! Josh has always loved two things- superheroes and dressing up. You have just got to admire his bold fashion choices! Katie is perfectly coordinated with her cat-eye rims and cat purse! Katie was 6 and Josh was about 3 1/2. It was so cute I just had to share it!

My little fishes





I finally got some cute pictures of the kids swimming this year! Josh has turned into quite the little fish. He has been so afraid of putting his face in the water that he still hadn't passed the beginning swimming class. This year we skipped lessons and I am so glad. He was able to discover it on his own and now I think lessons will be alot easier in the future. The first time we went this year he started to get brave. He would take a deep breath and go just barely under and come back up. He told me, "Mom I can breathe under water!" I explained that people can't breathe under water, that's why we hold our breath. He said, "Well just a little bit I can breathe under water, mom." It was pretty cute. Now he just dives in and even has dad push him down to the bottom of the pool so he can float back up to the top. It is so great to see the kids learn something new all on their own! Katie is a huge fan of the waterslide. She has become quite the little thrill-seeker this year! Josh took some convincing but finally tried the slide and now he likes it too.
