Swim Class

Jack and I have been taking a mommy & me swim class the past few months, and I just wanted to share how amazing it is! The ultimate goal of the class is to teach them to float on their backs to breathe (since we are naturally buoyant), turn on their bellies and go under water to swim and how to hold on to the edge of the pool and climb out. Jack has learned so much, and I was so proud of him today...he floated on his back all by himself for about 3 seconds and even swam under water for a few seconds on his own! You would think he would be frightened, but he loves it! He asks almost everyday, "Go swimming?"

Memorial Day Weekend Fun!

We had a super fun time at the ranch Memorial Day weekend. The weather was perfect....not too hot, not too cold! We did many things including celebrating Grandma M's birthday and helping her set up her Wii, spending some good time with Critter and Barb, and showing Jack how to fish. Ryan and I were able to get some alone time on the ranch for an anniversary ride and sunset. Ryan made a special playlist on the ipod, which we listened to and enjoyed on the tailgate. However, we left the AC running and the lights on; so when we went to start up the truck to head home, it did not start up! We called Ryan's dad and he came to give us a jump!
