Putting up the Tree

Just thought I would post a few pictures of the boys decorating the tree. We put it up the day after Thanksgiving. It has had a major face-lift since then. 2 strings of lights have needed replacing and my bows needed some fresh additions. But, now, it is looking just the way I want it to. The boys love to turn on all of the musical ornaments at the same time. Then they run around in circles laughing and singing. I love to see how much fun Christmas is for them.

Comment of the Day

So today, Mike and I were doing the dishes after dinner. Mike asked the boys, "Do you want to watch Mr. Kreugger's Christmas tonight?"

Daven replied, "But, we can't watch that, we don't like Cougars, right, daddy?"

Ha, ha. I guess the brainwashing has already begun. Well, actually, I think deep down, Daven is a die-hard Utes fan. But, Mike was pretty proud at this moment.

Disneyland Pics

I have finally posted some pictures from our trip. There are a lot. I think we take way too many pictures...

I don't expect you to look at them all (unless you are grandma!!).

Here are some highlights from our trip:

Favorite Ride:

Daven - Dumbo. We did get him to go on splash mountain, pirates, and Thunder Mountain railroad. I think they were a little scary for him. He loved Soaring Over California, though.

Logan - The up and down ride (merry-go-round) and Dumbo

Rickie - Dumbo, the boys liked it so much, we had to do it every day. I also liked Soaring over California

Mike - California Screamin' & DUMBO!!!

The Play Parade was so much fun at California adventures. We saw it 2 nights in a row. The boys were so into the fact that Lightning McQueen and Mater were there.

Favorite Character:

Daven - Sleeping Beauty. He stared at her autograph all the time. He still likes to pull out her autograph and look at it. I think he has a crush.

Logan - All of them. We were surprised he wasn't scared of them.

We had a great time. What was most ironic was that we drove all the way to Disneyland to ride on Dumbo and the Merry-Go-Round. But, it was totally worth every minute.

Tony and Michelle met us at Disneyland one of the days. It was so fun to see them & baby Noah. He is such a cutie.

Mike's new camera

Mike got a new camera for his birthday. At first, I wasn't sure about the whole thing. Mike seems to love cameras. We have owned now 3 in the last 4 years it seems. But, he assured me this was the best of the best - a Cannon Rebel. It would allow him to take some great shots of the boys. Now that I am seeing the pictures I have to admit I was wrong. The pictures are turning out GREAT!! The color and clarity is awesome. Here are some random shots....

Daven and the Great Pumpkin while Trick or Treating!

The funny thing about Logan is he always has a messy face. This was after eating some Halloween cookies we made.

Logan the Firefighter. I love our fire department here. The other day we were out for a walk in the neighborhood. We saw a fire engine. They were finishing up after going to a house. They saw my boys and called to us from down the street offering a tour of the fire truck. The boys LOVED this. They showed us where all the tools are and the hoses. It was quite a detailed tour. Daven and Logan especially loved the hats and stickers afterward. The firefighters always seem to take time for the little kids. This is not our first "tour." But, Logan wears this hat around all the time. He is very into the firestation, firefighter thing.

Halloween

Here are some pictures from our Halloween festivities. Daven was a race-car driver. Logan was his Pit Crew. Daven would tell everyone what he was. Then, Logan would reply, "I just gon' be Daven's Pit Crew." He was okay being the pit crew. But, the first time putting on his costume was a disaster. He did not want to wear that. After he started getting some candy, though, at the ward Trunk or Treat, he decided it was worth it.

 Daven chose the Jeff Gordon costume because it had FIRE on the sleeves. His second favorite was the "home depot" driver costume. But, the fire won!

We had to put a race-car in the background for effect. This car also acts as our mail-truck, cop car, and fire engine around here.

Daven

Logan not wanting to pose for the camera. This is like 6 shots into the photo shoot & he finally cracks a smile.

Logan

Round 1 of trick-or-treating. 

This is at our house. The boys came back, dumped out their bags of candy & went back for more "chandy" as Logan said. He did say, "all this chandy is for my mommy." What a nice kid, he's workin for me. I love it.

Round 2 Trick or Treating. 

The boys ran into some friends and went to some houses together. (Carter the rapper, Chloe the vampire, and Elise the totally awesome belly dancer).

The best part about the night was they got to see their favorite babysitter Austen while out.

They were so tired when they got home. They were out in like 5 minutes.

It's A Baby Girl

This is really nothing new, I think most of you know or have heard the news by now. But, I since I am using this like a journal, I wanted to write about the big event.

We had the Ultrasound last week on October 29th. It was first thing in the morning. I was so glad because I didn't think I could wait one minute longer to find out. I have 2 friends that are due AFTER me and got to find out the sex of their babies before me. All I have to say is I better get to deliver first. They were both having girls, so I figured for sure I would be having the boy out of the bunch.

The night before the ultrasound, I had the neatest dream, though. I dreamt it was a little girl. I dreamt we went for the ultrasound and were just in awe about how beautiful she was. Even the ultrasound tech was like, wow, she is a pretty baby. The funny part about the dream was she was holding a make-up brush in there!! We were so worried about her choking on it because she kept shoving it in her mouth. We were like, "how did a make-up brush get in there?" I don't know what that symbolized, but the dream was so vivid. 

I could not go back to sleep. I woke Mike up and said, "I think it is a girl" and proceeded to tell him about my dream. This is the first dream I had had about this baby.

Well, at the ultrasound, the tech told us she usually does a head-to-toe assessment. So, we probably wouldn't know the sex until the end. But, when she first put the wand on my tummy, she was getting a shot between the legs. Mike and I looked and looked - but we didn't see a little boy part in between there. We wondered if it actually was a girl & had an inkling. Sure enough, later on in the ultrasound she did a shot between the legs again. I said, "I don't see a little boy part in there." She said, "That's because it is not there, this is a little girl."

You would think we would have been jumping up and down. But, we just sat there and looked at each other in shock. We are still in shock. We are thrilled, but were not prepared for the odds to work in our favor & for it to be a little girl. As the week has worn on, though, I can tell it is starting to sink in. It is going to be so much fun to have a little girl around here. Daven is especially excited. Logan just keeps saying, "the baby can't have my Lego car." It is going to be tough on him, I'm afraid. But, overall we are so thrilled and excited to have this little girl join our family.

The Scorpion

So last night, I pulled into the garage after work. I had just picked up my boys from Karen's house. Her boys had been watching my boys since Mike was gone last night. 

As I pulled in, there was a huge SCORPION on the wall of the garage (right about to go into our house). I freaked out. I called Karen and asked if she could lend me her husband for a few minutes. She said, "I'll come over, I have no fear." Can I just say, that is a true friend? Someone that will drive over to your house at 9:30 at night to kill your scorpion. WOW!

She buzzed right over and got out Mike's shoe and tried to smash it. I watched it start to hurry away. I screamed, she was caught off guard and the SCORPION got away. He ran off into the garage somewhere. We could see him no more.

Thanks anyways, Karen, I'm hoping we at least scared him away. I spent the night in my bed (no, I did not even get out of bed to pee and that's a toughy when you are pregnant. I wore flip-flops around the house all morning just in case).  I think it is safe to say that he spent the night in the garage.

I have to say one thing, I will not miss that scorpion when he goes to heaven! 

(See next post).

Serious Conversations

So last night, I had a lot of explaining to do to Daven. And not about the usual day-to-day things. Around bedtime, he started asking me lots of questions about dying and going to heaven. We talked for like 15 minutes about it. He almost made me cry. I kept thinking, Mike, I need you to help fill in the gaps, but Mike had to work late last night, so I just did my best. I think he was a little afraid of the whole thing, so I tried to make it all seem okay.

It all started when there was a fly in our house. Daven is terrified of flies (and all bugs). Hmm, wonder where he gets that from?

I kept trying to get him to go in the kitchen to throw away his sucker and wash his hands before bed. Logan was sound asleep on my lap, so I didn't want to move just yet.  Daven was TERRIFIED because of the fly. "What if it gets me?"

Then, he started asking all kinds of questions about flies. Like, "do bugs live for a long time?" "Is the fly dead?"

In desperation, I told him, the fly is sleeping. Daven kept probing like, "Will he be dead in the morning?" And to make him feel better, I said, "Probably." Woops!

Daven got all sad and said, "I am really going to miss that fly when he goes to Heaven."

I shouldn't have, but I thought, hmmm this is a teaching opportunity. I told him, well, Heavenly Father loves even the flies. You will get to see Him in Heaven.

That sparked the whole thing!  He asked, "When I die will I go to Heaven?"

I told him, "Yes."

He just started to sob. Seriously, tears started coming down his little cheeks. This is what he said, "Well, I don't want to die because I would really miss my LEGOS." 

So, then we talked a lot about how Heaven is such a happy place. I told him that I bet they have lots of Legos there. He didn't believe me at first. But, I just can't imagine Heaven not having lots of fun toys for the kids to play with. Finally, after lots of convincing he felt a little better. He asked, "Do you think they have Police Headquarters LEGOS in Heaven."

I told him "Of Course." That made him feel a lot better. 

That was a toughy. And, I just wish we had more preparation as moms for those converstations, but they always seem to come out of nowhere. I just kept hoping I said all the right things. He had so many questions.

But, what made me laugh was that, he is not going to miss us in Heaven, just his LEGOS.

Jail

I just had to post this.

On Monday, I was working in the yard. I was spraying off the pool deck and the boys were playing behind the pool fence. There were fighting and bugging each other. I decided to let them try to work it out themselves while I finished cleaning up.

After about 5 minutes, Logan just started crying HYSTERICALLY. Crying and crying. I went over to him and said,

"What is wrong, why are you crying." He replied with tears:

"Daven put me in jail.....and then.....and then......Daven put me in another one jail."

I thought, oh that sounds so miserable. But, it just made me laugh. Daven is really into jail lately. Mike says it is a guy thing. But, poor Logan always has to be the bad guy. To be honest with you, I wouldn't want to be the bad guy either.

The Reception

These pictures are in a random order. The reception was beautiful....on a golf course that overlooks the Salt Lake Valley. It was gorgeous. There was great food (although, I had very little time to even eat). There was also a floor for dancing. 

I wish I had pictures of all the people that I got to see & talk to. Most of them, I hadn't seen since my wedding...people from our old neighborhood. It was wonderful to catch up. The night went by so fast. 

The picture above was sent to me by our old neighbors, the Himstreets. They stayed the whole night taking pictures. I was glad they sent it to me. I didn't get one of me and my dad. This was after the reception was over. I literally couldn't move. My whole body ached. I just gave everyone assignments on what to do to help clean up. Then, we went home and crashed. What a great day!!!

When we got home, Logan asked: "Where's Erica?" I explained that since she got married today, she got to go on a little trip and stay at a hotel. He then asked so sweetly, "Can I go see her?" Mike and I chuckled and thought, I'm sure she would love to see you right now.

I am supposed to be wearing these pink shoes, sorry, sis. I wore them for the pictures & then hid them behind some furniture for the rest of the night. My toes got stepped on once. But I just couldn't keep these babies on, regardless of how cute they were. 

Here are the bridesmaid's. Nick's sisters, Erica's best friend, April, and me. Erica's colors were so cute. Pink & Brown. The weather was gorgeous, too. It was around 80 degrees that day and then cooled off a bit that night. Sunny, no clouds. Perfect!

Erica got so many compliments on the cake. Isn't it so cute? Logan kept asking me for a piece all night. I finally told him they were looking for a knife to cut it. Surprisingly, that satisfied him. But, he devoured his piece! After the cake, he was in a good mood and forgot about how much he hated wearing his pink tie. He started to enjoy himself for the last hour of the reception.

I had to put this in here. It is blurry. But, Daven owned the dance floor. At the end of the night, he was dancing and dancing. He didn't want to stop. They had a live band and he was getting into it. He has some great moves. Everyone was getting the biggest kick out of him, even the band! Daven is like his Aunt Erica......always the life of the party!!

The Temple

Horray! Congratulations, Erica & Nick. We are so excited for both of you!

Perhaps one of the greatest tributes to Erica, is how much my boys adore her. As she came out of the temple, they had to wait in line for a few minutes, but then they both DOVE into her arms.

This is my shy little Logan. But, he wanted to give Erica a big hug no matter how many cameras were on him. I just want to squeeze him, too. Those suspenders are too cute.

And, just as much as they love Aunt Erica, they love their new Uncle Nick, too. They talk about him now as Uncle Nick, which is so fun.

Look at those well-dressed boys. So, Daven's favorite color was pink for a while. You can only imagine how excited he was to wear this pink tie. Logan, not so much. We had to prepare him for like 2 days straight to gear him up for it. Not to mention he hates church pants in addition to his boycott on denim. Mike's sister, Michelle, was the one that had to dress him. She had to bribe him with candy and even then, the tie was too much. He kept taking it off every chance he could all day long. Gotta love 'em.

Four Generations: My Grandma Hatch, Mom, Erica, Me & Baby. This is a terrible shot of me but I had to put it in for historical purposes.

Just can't get enough. Daven was smitten watching his Aunt Erica. He cried when we had to leave the temple. He probably could have followed her around for a few more hours. But, the payoff came a few days later when he came up to me grinning, saying, "who am I going to marry?"

Logan just wanted out of there. No smiling for pictures. Luckily, my sweet Aunt Joyce took him for a walk to look at cars. I think he just wanted to get out of that pink tie! After this, we headed back to my mom's house to eat something and rest for a few minutes before heading back to Bountiful for the reception at Eaglewood Golf Course.

Preparing for Erica's Big Day!

We got to Utah a few days before the wedding. I have to admit I wasn't the greatest sister when we arrived. I kept wanting to be the BIG sister. Well, actually, I tried to be more like her mother. But those of you who know us well know that pretending to be her mother comes easy for me. As we grew up we were very close in our teenage years. So, I just had to accept the fact in a way that she was getting married. (Strange as that may sound). But, a few arguments paved the way for a beautiful few days of celebration. I love you, sis! I was so excited for her. Nick is such a great guy. They get along so well & make a great couple. Their kids are going to have the most gorgeous blue eyes ever!!!

Nick and Erica at the wedding dinner held the night before at the Lion House.

I promised Maddy I would post a picture of my $9.00 dress from Ross. I had to go shopping the week before the wedding as I realized I was going to need a maternity dress. And, to my surprise, Ross had something cute for only $8.99....it must have been meant to be. Since when do you ever find cute maternity clothes at ROSS?

One of the neatest things about Erica getting married was that I got to be her escort in the temple twice. What an honor. It was so wonderful to be there with her. Nick was so cute and kept trying to sneak looks at her the whole time! It was such a neat experience and a great evening. She went through the Bountiful Temple two days before the wedding. I was so glad I got to be there, thanks for including me, sis! Here we are right before heading up to the temple. Afterwards we went to Applebee's, the only restaurant still open in Bountiful after 9 p.m. on a weeknight. It was delicious. I have a very hungry critter inside of me. We gave Erica a bad time for ordering ASAP water. The waitor was like, what is that??

First Day Back to Preschool

Daven started back up to preschool on September 2nd. He is going to Miss Jenni's preschool. So far, he loves it. It is a darling preschool. Jenni, of course, goes above and beyond in anything she does, and her preschool is no different. He is going to miss Lisa, his preschool last year, but he loves Miss Jenni, so I think this year will be a great experience for him.

Can't believe he'll be in Kindergarten next year.

Logan misses Daven when we have to take him to "GOOL" as Logan calls it. I think Daven wishes it was every day.

My Lego Maniac

Daven is turning into my little LEGO MANIAC. He got some Legos for his birthday in April. He absolutely has fallen in love with them. At first, he really struggled getting them to do what he wanted them to do. Keep in mind, these are real, small legos. It took me an hour on his birthday to put together a little digger. I gave up on the dumptruck, couldn't get it to work & left it for daddy when he got home.

But, persistence is Daven's middle name. He plays legos for at least 2 hours every day. He is quickly mastering the art.

About 2 weeks ago he worked on the garbage truck you see above from 1 pm to 4 pm. I couldn't believe it. That thing is so hard to put together. I couldn't do it. But, he used the instructions and just kept at it. Mike said he had to help him in 2 small parts. Daven was so proud when he was done!! I was, too, I have to admit. I had to take a close-up of it.

Mike's mom always tells the story of how much Mike loved Legos when he was a kid. She always says how he would disappear for hours in his room and then come out with these imaginative creations.

Seeing any parallels here? I guess Daven is like his Daddy in more ways that one. I think it is very cute. He is getting very creative. Today, he made a garden. The other day it was a crane (pictured above), complete with the big arm that ACTUALLY moved up and down. 

I have to say, though, I have a hard time connecting with him on the lego level. He has gone way over my head now. Guess it's not going to be the first time.

Call Me MisMatch

So, here is Logan's new thing. He is the epitome of a two year-old with this one.

He HATES to wear denim. No, he flat our refuses it. Any try and it results in a 30 minute tantrum. "I DON'T LIKE THESE PANTS!" He'll kick and scream while you put them on, and then take them off....IF YOU CAN GET THEM ON. He is a little fighter. 

It is to the point where it is cracking me up. I know it is just his way of expressing his individuality.

The problem is, most of his clothes are hand-me-downs from Daven. And, they are almost all denim. He has 3 pairs of cotton shorts.  

Here is a snipit of our mornings now.....keep in mind this has been going on for several weeks .

"Logan, go get some clothes and a diaper, it is time to get dressed." (I gave up trying to choose his clothes for him, the tantrums were unreasonable.)

He will then proceed to go to his room and pull something out of his drawer. The first outfit is ALWAYS another pair of jammies.

"I wann wear JAMMIES."

"No, Logan, we have to go ___, you can't wear your jammies."

He goes back to his room and returns a few minutes later. Almost always with another pair of jammies, UNLESS, by some miracle, his RED shorts are clean, he really likes those! What am I going to do when they are too small?

"Logan, those are jammies, silly, go choose some pants and a shirt."

Then, he will come back with some combination of an outfit. Rarely do they match. What is funny about this is I have stopped caring. I think it is so stinkin cute that he wants to choose his own clothes. So, I've been trying to pick the more important battles in his life.

The other day, all of his cotton shorts were dirty. He refused to wear denim. So, I let him go to his little Nature class in a clean pair of jammies. I put some gel in his hair and wiped off his face. Then, I changed his diaper. I felt a little insecure at the class. I found myself telling everyone that he was in his jammies by choice. They all thought it was funny.

At this point, I've stopped caring. As long as he's got a diaper on and clean clothes, it is a good day. Oh, what would life be like without 2-year old's?

Updated Play List

I promise pictures of our recent doings will be coming soon!

But, tonight, I was thinking about updating the music on my blog. I started searching for songs and thought I would put Mike and I's song on the blog. Then, I thought, hmm, maybe I could put all the songs that we really liked back then when we were dating. So, here they are. Isn't it funny how a song totally takes you back in time? That is what it did tonight. So, pardon my somewhat cheesy blogpost. Hey, maybe I'll start a new "tag." So if you are reading this you have to post all the songs that meant something to you and your sweetie...ha, ha. No I'm kind of serious, I think it would be cool to see everyone's songs.

1) Have a Little Faith in Me by John Hyatt
This is our song. One night we were sitting in Mike's truck in Mueller Park Canyon. We had been dating for a few months and wondered if we had a "song," what would it be? We both thought about how we had commented in the past about liking this song on the movie Benny and June. We didn't see this movie together, but both of us really liked this song for some reason when we saw the movie & went the extra mile to find out who sang it. Hmmm, maybe it was a glimpse for both of us of what was to come.
Something kind of cheesy, but Mike used to say it in Spanish to me sometimes, "Tiene un poco fe en Mi." Oh, the good-old days. It is on our wedding video and was our first dance at the reception.

2) I'll be by Edwin McCain
In deciding our song, we thought that our #2 song would be the Edwin McCain song that was SOO popular that summer. We both loved it. Whenever I hear this song, I think about watching "The Hunt for Red October" at his parent's house. Then we had to hurry to make it to the fireworks after. Mike had a blanket and as we were walking to his truck afterward, he put it around himself like he was from Hawaii. I was kind of embarrased. He said, "oh, what, are you embarrased that everyone will see your boyfriend like this?" I just laughed and then forgot about it, he just called me his boyfriend, right????

3) Satellite by Dave Matthews Band
Just my favorite song that summer I met Mike. I have such great memories of listening to Dave Matthews Band almost anywhere we went in Mike's truck. We had so much fun. It especially reminds me of driving to Tyler's cabin to hang out w/ his friends and our camping trip to Moab w/ his friends. Mike was always so exciting and fun to be with. That is one of the things I loved most about him.

4) Brian Wilson by Barenaked Ladies
Mike and all his buddies were into the "Barenaked Ladies" no, not a nudity group. They are a group of male singers. They really liked them that summer. So, when Mike was in Peru on a backpacking trip, I got some tickets for them. Then, when he got back, I could hardly keep my surprise a secret. He was excited about the tickets because his buddies had all bought tickets to go while he was gone. It was a fun concert, but our intrest in the group didn't last too long. Although, there are a few songs we still like to listen to.

5) Breathe by Faith Hill
How can you forget this one? Just so popular and of course at the time I LOVED Faith Hill. I would listen to it every day on my drive to school.

6) Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton
I hope you've tuned in for the best part. This song has special significance because it is one of 2 songs I can play and sing on the guitar. We went to Lake Powell with my family about 2 1/2 months after we met. We had a good time. I was pretty smitten with Mike, but he just wasn't sure about me. One night, we were all sitting around the campfire and I played this song and sang on the guitar. That was the night he told me he loved me. It must have been the song. J/K I hope it was me. But I was so excited, nonetheless!!

The Heartbeat

So exciting news, we went to the doctor yesterday. We took the boys with us. And...we heard the baby's heartbeat. I was glad they found a heartbeat....you know how you always get nervous right before wondering if they will find one. The doctor said the baby was moving around a lot, she had a hard time getting him or her to hold still long enough to get the heartbeat. 

I think most everyone knows around here, but for those of you that don't we are expecting a baby. I am just over 12 weeks along. We are due on March 14th. I am excited, but I have to say that both Mike and I were very surprised when we found out. We were in Utah over the 4th of July and I was "late." I told Mike that I might be pregnant. He just laughed because he didn't think that was the case, plus we weren't even trying. But, sure enough, the night before we left Utah, I took a pregnancy test. I had been feeling a little queezy at times and had to wonder. I was flabbergasted, though, when it was positive. I keep having to ask myself, "Am I really ready for this?" "Can I really handle three?" I am not one of those high energy people that can do it all, so this will really be a challenge for me. I'm not looking forward to all the discomforts of pregnancy, but I think the baby at the end will be nice. Mike is thrilled. We are of course, hoping it is a girl. But, I'm trying not to hold my breath too hard on that one.

I was surprised when she found the heartbeat. I'm like this is real. We are going to have another baby. I am already popping out all over the place and have a nice belly. My belly gets so big when I am preggo and I know I have a long ways to go. I look about as pregnant as some of my friends right before they deliver (you know who you are!!). Sometimes I wish I had height to my advantage.

I reminded Mike about the first time we heard Daven's heartbeat. He took his PDA (yes, we used PDA's back then) and RECORDED the heartbeat. Then, we e-mailed it to everyone! Oh, I am sure that we are in for lots more differences between the 1st and the 3rd baby.

Conversations with Logan

So, the other day Logan was in a super cute mood. He was on the bed with Mike and I. We were goofing off with him. Here is our conversation:

Mom: "Logan, what do you like better, CARS or TRUCKS?"

Logan: "TRUCKS"

Mom: "Logan, what do you like better, CHOO CHOOS or BUSES?"

Logan: "CHOO CHOOS....BUSES."

Mom: "Oh, you like CHOO CHOOS and BUSES."

Mike: "Logan, what do you like better, BALLS or DOLLS?"

Logan: (pause)...."TRUCKS!!!"

This just captures my Logan to a T. Anything that moves and has an engine is the greatest thing on earth. I thought this phase would pass more quickly, but nope, he is still very into all this stuff.

Family Pictures

We went and got family pictures taken 2 weeks ago. I've been meaning to put them up forever, but it just takes so long to upload them into i-photo and then re-shrink them down. You know that whole process. But I was so thrilled w/ how they turned out. Mike loves them too. They were so cheap. We paid 100.00 for the photo shoot. The kids were pretty cooperative because it was done at the photographers house. Then, we paid 25.00 and got several blown up and all of them developed. I am definately going back to her. She was great!!! If anyone wants the recommendation, let me know.

I love this picture because it captures my Logan to a "T." As a baby he was soo serious all the time. I remember one time we worked for 3 hours at kiddie kandids to get him to crack one smile. So, I don't mind that he's not smiling in this picture. It is just my cute Logan.

Buddies...what more do I need to say?

Oh, I want to eat my child up. I think this is the cutest picture I have ever seen of him. Plus he is smiling. A huge bonus!

Good lookin' kid, don't you think??

I seriously want to eat them up!

Swim Lessons

So, Logan decided he didn't want to do the swim lesson thing after all. I thought for sure he would be so jealous that Daven got to swim, that if I didn't put him in lessons I would regret it. At least this is what happened last year. But, I was wrong. After 2 weeks of crying through swim lessons, I pulled him out. Now he likes to tag along and just play at the spray pad. At least the lessons were only like $15.00, so I wasn't out much. 

Daven is loving the lessons. He gets really nervous every 2 weeks, though, when he has a new teacher. But, he quickly adjusts. He is doing really well. My friends were laughing the other day because he had to take tadpoles 3 times before they would pass him to shrimps. That is my Daven for you. It takes him a while to get comfortable with something. I saved all his "report cards." But, he is so proud of himself and he's progressing. That is all that matters.
