Monkey is 10!!!

I cannot believe this girl is 10. That just seems crazy to me. She is getting so grown up and she's so responsible. She has started babysitting her sisters this year and she does such a great job at it. Her favorite thing to do right now is make thing out of duck tape (wallets, folders, purses, cup holders, etc.) She's a fun girl and we sure do love her.

Cousins Party

Tonight we had a cousin get together at our house. It was really fun. It'd be fun to see even more cousins next time. Thanks to everyone for bring delicious food :) We'll do it again soon.

Boo's Talking

Boo has been talking so well lately. Some of my favorites are "I love you" "I need you" and "I will do it". She speaks in sentences a lot. Its so fun. :-) She also loves to sing. Some of her favorites are from nursery. I am a child of God, Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, Smiles, Wiseman and the foolish man. She's got a playlist down that she wants us to sing to her one right after the other. :-)

Monkey's Swimming Lessons

Monkey has been doing so good with her swimming lessons. We have been taking them for the last 3 weeks and they are 5 classes a week. We are taking this week off just for a break. She was learning how to dive and do the different strokes and learning how to tread water. She did really good with the strokes. Her favorite were the back stroke and freestyle. She needs to work on her breast stroke and butterfly stroke. To me those are HARD. She had a hard time with the frog kick. But she had fun and a made a couple friends from her classes.

I love how happy she is in these 2 photos :)

Bug's Swimming Lessons

Bug did really well in her classes. She has been terrified of getting in the water ever since she went under water a couple years ago. She has done so good and she's getting better and actually loving her classes. She was not so happy about taking a break from lessons this week. :) She is a lot like me when I was in lessons. The majority of the time her head is under water. Just bouncing up and down. The teachers constantly had to tell her to keep her head up and listen. Crazy girl! I'm glad she's doing so well.

This picture is when she finally figured out that she could swim without the teacher holding on. It took her most of the week. He's giving her high five :)

This is how she was the majority of the time.
