Little Fish

Alec took swim lessons with Leah Theaggard in Woodstone last week and learned SO much!!  It is amazing to see the difference she can make in just 5 days!  Riley and Drew took lessons too, so it was fun having them there too!

Yes, he's got on goggles AND a headband!  I know, Mr. Cool!!  Dad continues to make fun but Alec has HORRIBLE ear problems and Dr. Hammett insist we keep out as much water as possible.  Speaking of ear trouble, I should probably do an entire blog on that subject, as it's a DAILY issue in our lives right now. :(

The three little swimmers!

Let's RACE!

Riley went from a non swimmer on Monday to an AWESOME swimmer on Friday!  The boys weren't as quick but made lots of progress.  Drew kept informing Mrs. Leah that he wasn't going in the deep end, he knew how to swim already, NOT!

Having fun jumping off the rock on the last day of class!

I still wouldn't trust Alec to swim completly on his on, he hasn't mastered the skill of coming up for air yet....  But, he can get where he wants to go, as long as it's not so far that he can't hold his breath!  I think he'll have it down by the end of the summer!!

Boat Toys are Fun!!

Saturday we stopped at Sam's to buy steaks on the way to Nana's for a fun day of swimming and eating!  Well, we already had the boat with us and spotted this fun looking tube while we were shopping!  Needless to say, we had lots of Redneck Fun on the tube in the little pond at Nana's!  We can't wait to take it to the camp and get Nana and Mimi on it too!!

Kara went first with Mandi and I.  Alec wasn't so sure at first and wanted someone else to go first!

Alec got brave enough to get on and the kids (and mommies) loved it!

Making LOTS of waves in the Nana Pond!

 

Fun Times with Great Friends!!

The kids kept bailing out of the boat!!  Poor Kaleigh doesn't realize she can't swim and will bail out at a moments notice!  She jumps right in with no fear!

Trying to escape the kiddy cage!

Cruisin' Off in the Sunset!

A Little Sideways!

Humm, I would LOVE it if the pics from my camera phone would ROTATE, but since they won't, we'll rock and roll a little sideways today!  Ha!! My kids LOVE to sing and dance!!  Santa brought Alec this guitar for Christmas and it's been in the closet ever since...  Last week, out it came and both of them LOVE it!!  Alec sings in the microphone and Kaleigh blows in the microphone just to make some noise!

Happy Father's Day!!

Happy Father's Day!!  We love you Dad!!  We had a great Father's Day weekend celebrating the wonderful Dad and Grand Dads in our lives!!  Dustin and his dad played in a golf tourney Saturday morning and one another First Place prize!! They really are gonna be superstars one day!!  After that, we spent the day grilling and chillin' at Nana's pool!  After church Sunday, we took Dad to the Bo Co for a good lunch!  Free kids meal, jumpy house and a gospel concert were all at the Bo Co lunch! Can't beat that!!  Definitely a new Sunday lunch favorite!!  We had Papa, Mimi, Paps and Nana all over for a fun Sunday supper!  It couldn't have been a better Father's Day Weekend!!  We hope you enjoyed it Dad!!!

Kickin' It Old School VBS!!

CRAZY ROCKSTAR DAY AT VBS!!

A Party Pandemic

On Saturday we had an Ice Cream Party at home for our little princess!!

Her cake and ice cream toppings!!  The cake was amazing!!

Happy Birthday sweet sister!

Dancing with Papa and her singing Rabbit!

All the little girls and Alec helping open gifts!

We had such a fun time with all of our sweet friends!

Cousin Will, Ava Reid, Kara, Kaleigh, Sydney and Brooke!

Poor sis wasn't feeling wonderful and didn't want to eat cake!!

We had to enlist some friends to help eat our smash cake!

 

Brooke says she lies it!

Sweet Sydney!!

Two special Great Grandmothers!!  You never would have know these wonderful ladies were both in the hospital last week, Mamaw was even in ICU!

YUMM!!

Yummm, Kaleigh shared the cones full of icing off of her birthday cake with all of her friends!

I'm sure we were all crazy Saturday afternoon after that much sugar!

We all scream for ice cream!!

Kara loved hers!!

Her first baby stroller!

What's a birthday party without a wardrobe change! ha!

I think I'm not feeling so hot mom!

Blackmail pics for later in life!  We love you Cousin Will!

Two Mommy Michelle's and Baby Girls!

Sis felt worse and worse as the party went on!

Brooke and Kaleigh are in the same class at day care and I went to school with Brooke's mom!

Her favorite toy was a cute keyboard from Sydney!! She walks around playing music on it!

And now on to why this post is titled “Pandemic at the Party”.  Last week, the stomach bug was going around in Kaleigh’s class at school.  I thought we had gotten by without getting it at our house.  WRONG!!  All day Saturday Kaleigh was having MAJOR mommy attachment issues and was horribly grouchy!!  Mid party Saturday, Kaleigh started the bug, with about 40 folks in our house!! EEEKKK!!  So far, she’s infected Dad, Papa, Nana and Aunt Patty!!  We’re crossing our fingers that the rest of us don’t get it!
