End of Summer

Summertime is my favorite and I can tell the end is near! I love spending my days with these two little munchins. Like anyone else, we have good days and bad days but moments like this or when they stretch out their little arms and hold hand the whole way home from errands make it all worth it!

Carson got to meet his teacher Miss Jamie and his pre-school class yesterday.

He can't wait for school and keeps asking questions about Miss Jamie. He's especially excited because she lives close to us!

We also have been swimming less and less, in fact when we went to the Ranch House we were the only one's there! I guess that's what happens when you go during soccer practice and dinner time. We loved having the place all to ourselves!





Carson has gotten to be a great swimmer this summer {as long as you don't make him} he loves to swim and I love seeing how much he has learned and how brave he is!





The kids favorite part always is taking a shower..I love it too because that's one less thing I have to do at home! It's a win-win!

Slippery Fish

Keeping in mind that Carson is only three, he has a crazy social calendar! He is one busy kid. Wednesday morning we hit up the UA free movie, came home ate lunch, swapped street clothes for swim clothes, got yogurt, then headed for the Pettey's pool to swim with Carson's first love Ava.

We have spent quite of bit of time swimming with family and friends but I never seem to get my camera out and being as summer's winding down I wanted to be sure to capture us in action!


Carson loves the water and enjoys going swimming if it involves a little pool or large step and while this is convenient, he needs to be pool safe. So, we have been working with Carson on his swimming, I have given him swim lessons and Andrew's mom has taught him twice for a total of less than 45 minutes...those 45 minutes felt like an eternity because he is super dramatic and would cry and yell; "no more, I want mommmmeee." But he is feeling confident in the pool and volunteered to get rings and put his head under this day. whoo-hoo!

When released Carson can turn to the wall grab it and climb out. He can fetch rings. He has a mean kick and can hold his breath for a body length distance. We are so proud of his progress.

Cait too is a little fish but tires easily and often enjoys poolside naps.

I know I'm biased but she is one beautiful baby!

Bubbly

Showing off THE Bubble Gun

Can you believe that Carson will be two in exactly one week?! I fall in love with him more everyday...don't worry Andrew, I love you too.

We are having a low key family celebration Monday so I we were out today and I saw this bubble gun and knew that he would love it. We didn't have much to do so I gave it to him early. He loved it and I loved seeing his amazement. A couple of times he would look at all the bubbles and say, "wow!"

There were many more pictures but you get the idea!
