Swimming Lessons

I have kind of slacked off in previous years with Alec and swimming lessons with the excuse that he would not remember anything between summers. This year I knew I had to get him going so we signed him up through the city for some sessions. Before the city sessions started we thought it would be a good idea for him to get a jump start with private lessons at our association pool. I found Seth to do those private lessons for us. We did a week and a half of private 1/2 hour lessons every day and Alec finally learned how to dunk his head under the water. Yeah, it took that long. Now he is an old pro at dunking and is moving on to other things like kicking and floating in his city lessons.
Our association pool in the morning. We did lessons early so that we would have the place to ourselves. You can see Aaron riding around the pool on his trike. I bring the trike to the pool when I don't feel like venturing in myself with Aaron.

Miss Lori's Class

We have been attending Miss Lori's Kindergym classes since Alec was a little boy. This past year Aaron has been enjoying going just as Alec did. Aaron's favorite parts of the class are the bubbles and shaking the bells while marching in a circle. Alec attends class with us some of the time when Daddy is not available to be at home with him. When Alec goes he has a blast also!

I LOVE this picture of Alec coming through the crawl tunnel!

Me and my boys. How in the world did I get so lucky to have two such handsome and good little guys?

Gardening with Grammie and Papa

On Saturday morning Alec and I went off to our Mommy and Me cooking class and left Aaron to spend some time with Grammie and Papa. When Alec and I came back we hung out for a while and helped Grammie and Papa plant some beautiful flowers in their front yard. We are so blessing having both sets of grandparents so close to us!!

Last day of preschool

Alec's last day of preschool was so much fun. All of the classes performed different "acts" and they put on a circus. Alec's class, being the youngest, were the banner wavers at the beginning. I did not put any pictures of that because Alec pouted through the entire thing because he did not get a doughnut on the way to school. He perked up after the show when we hung out on the lawn and had popcorn and ottor pops.

I can't believe his first year of school is done!

Alec's teachers Mrs. Shuplock and Mrs. Bouissiere. I could not have asked for better first teachers for Alec. They were warm and caring and gave him a great start in school!
