Swim lessons

In the past Parx would cry whenever we tried to take him swimming. I'm not sure why because he loves bath time, and his water table, but the larger pools just scared him. So I thought a Mom and Tot class would be a good way to help him over come this, and sure enough it was:) We got some friends to do it with us which made it even more fun of course.
The first day was scary and the teacher said it could take a couple of days for him to warm up and if not then it may never change ( I was nervous about the other) but sure enough the second day he was excited and ready. We practiced floating on our back, blowing bubbles (not Parx favorite), jumping/ being pulled from the side, kicking (Parx's favorite) and others.
Of course we still have a lot of work but this was a great start. I think water safety is very important so we will continue lessons until he is a little fish in the water:)

We drove up the canyon the other day just to get out and because we finally had a day with nothing planned. It was fun and Parx loved throwing rock in the river and exploring.

Yes, he belongs with me.

When I was little I asked for a pepper as my "treat" when I went to the store with my mother. And those would be two pepper in his hands that he is just chowing down on.

Another one bites the dust

We were back out in Vernal to celebrate Treavor and Megan's wedding, our last family wedding of the summer. It was a beautiful day, they looked so pretty and we couldn't be happier for them. Treavor is a great addition to our family, he fits in perfect and completes us:)
All 6 of us kids are now married, it's weird and nice at the same time to not wonder who will be the next in law. Welcome to the family! We love you guys.

The kids also had a good time playing and making messes together at Gma's

You can make new friends... But you can't make old ones.

We have been lucky enough to have some very awesome friends and had some good times with them. But as we have gotten older and more grown up:) Some of them have/are moving on for school and work. So we got together for one last group BBQ. It was so fun to see how much we have grown in the last few years with everyone having kids.
We are so happy for everyone and the things they are doing, but I have to be honest I'm a little bumbed we are getting left behind. Good luck to all of you. You will be greatly missed!!
