cell phone pics may-(most of) july.

isn't it crazy how many pictures we take of our kids.   like, everyday of their lives they have had a picture taken...weather that be with a big camera or a cell phone.  this is mostly for my kiddos (& grandparents) because they love watching themselves.   here ya go!

swimming lessons.

the past 2 weeks we did a crash course of swimming lessons.  every morning we'd go & every morning they loved it.   it was SO fun!   and...double bonus, swimming lessons basically pay for themselves.  you are allowed to stay & swim as long as you want on the day of lessons.  yay for pool days!

logan is absolutely FEARLESS in the water .   she will jump off the side, go down the slides, swim under water.  she is crazy!  (oh yeah, and she is just in the swim diaper...the bottoms of her swimsuit are WAY too big!)

 on the last day they were able to go down the big slide.   lane was BEYOND excited.

 and gagie got a bomb pop.   doesn't this picture scream SUMMER!?
