Swim Lessons

Carter and Ellie have been taking swim lessons for the last couple of week and they LOVE it!! Parker is their instructor and they adore him. Parker and his wife Char are our friends, and they had their first little one last week, isn't he a cutie, so Parker didn't teach lessons last week. Carter was very concerned that Mandy (also one of our wonderful friends) was going to be his instructor because he couldn't remember who she was. "What if she's mean?" he said. Of course she was wonderful. Ellie and Carter adored her too. Parker was back this week.....almost late for lessons, but we'll let that slide since he has a brand new little one. They'll be late for alot more things I'm sure.

just hangin' out....

Carter is down to using just one little floaty on his back, very exciting. He has come so far. He loves to dive off the diving board, (it's sometimes a little belly flop, he doesn't know that so we won't tell him).



Look at that form.......
and hardly any splash at all....HA!
Mandy also has a brand new little one, and Jared and I got to hold him all through lessons. Isn't he a cutie?
Why is it that half of my friends are pregnant, trying to get pregnant or have a new baby? I want one.

hey last year my hairdresser gave me some shampoo that works so great on karas hair for the green. All summer and no green it is called "After-Sun Shampoo" by matrix Biolage. Just wash her hair with it after she swims. We love it.

Hi Ginger!! They go over to Mandy Bailey's house in JR. They are really professional and lots of fun. I honestly can't believe how much Carter has learned. You can check out her website.
