We were excited to find out that one of the older couples
in our ward has a pool and offers OPEN swim to anyone in the
ward or neighborhood every Thursday. So can you guess
where the kids and I have been the last 2 thursdays??
Yes at the pool! Its the next best thing to
having our own pool, I would say :)
Ash LOVES the water, but as a typical 2 year old
doesn't love any kind of flotation device.
We alterate between the life vest and sit in flotation device,
or just sitting on the steps and playing.
Ame is getting a little more brave after jumping off the diving board a few times, with NO assistance AND
the 2nd time sinking to the bottom, then finally coming up
very frantic! I am trying to keep away from arm floaties
very frantic! I am trying to keep away from arm floaties
with her (she only wants them in the deep end) as I think
she should be past that?! She vows she will NEVER jump off
the board again :) Its just a little hard for pregnant mom
to lend a helping hand to her in the deep end, with Ash in tow.
But I do my best!!
Ame and her NEW buddie Brynlee
Kaipo, on the other hand, has NO fear. Ame says itis because he does have floaties (which is probably true)
but he is swimming all over the deep end, off the board, diving for
everything under the water...
I wish I had the energy and $$$ to put all my kids inswim lessons this summer, but I just think that is one
thing that will have to wait.
***********
We are trying to get at least grass in our yards
(don't know if it will be seed or sod),
finish our bonus room and I WANT to do some
decorating in my house, one of these days !
(Anyone who has built a home know this
feeling of sooo much to do all at once)
With everything coming at us all at one time,
expense wise, we just can't afford it all. Hence no vacations,
or expensive fun adventures right now. So hopefully the kids
are happy with the little things that cost nothing, or close to it...
like swimming with the neighbors :)

We are going to Cherry Hill On Monday if you guys want to come- my mom is in town and we want to do a few fun things now that Savannah finally finished school today before she gets her tonsils out next Friday!
How lucky you are to have your "own" pool and don't have to fight the mobs at the public pool. Must be relaxing to just let the kids play since the love the water so much. Too bad its only on Thursdays! But don't complain, huh?
There is always SO MUCH PRESSURE when you move into a new house (you should know better than anyone) to get things done. Everything seems like a priority but try to remember that it will all be there in 3 or 6 or 9 months and in the long run it doesn't really matter that much WHEN. Try to relax and enjoy.
