My Flavor

I got this link from Bryce's aunt and I thought it was fun. A nice way to think about cooling off in this weather! I didn't think I would be vanilla, but it actually fits my personality.
I figured I would include an adorable picture of Leilani enjoying an ice cream sandwich.

Our Little Swimmer

Brady with his teacher, Bryan, who is actually in our ward! What luck!



Brady not quite ready for the diving board, but we are making progress!

Lani just hanging out while brother gets to swim! She wants in so bad it is hard to her to watch, but I keep her pretty preoccupied.

Brady just finished 2 weeks of swim lessons. He is coming along but isn't as comfortable on his back as his teachers would like him to be, so we are taking a break this next week and are signed up for another 2 week session.

I am so pleased to see him getting more comfortable in the water. His fears get the best of him sometime so it is good to see him use the kickboard on his own and love the life-jackets.

Today he was in the deep end just swimming wherever with the only blue life-jacket (his favorite color) on and just spinning away. He has the basics of swimming down but the floating thing is something he isn't quite comfortable with that yet, so hopefully his next session will help.

Hopefully it will cool off some in a week. Today at 9:30 in the morning it was already 101! Are you crazy! Not quite as hot as 115 that it was on Monday.

I keep telling myself that we just have to survive two months in the summer and then we have the best weather the rest of the year. We are almost through the worst of it, maybe!!!
