Swim lessons

This year Cole Kaycee and James took swim lessons. Matthew didn't want to.
Here is Cole at his first lesson EVER!

Cole is getting a little braver. Here he has part of his face in the water
By the end of the week he was full face in the water. Way to go Cole Cole also learned to float on his back

Kaycee's 7th birthday

For Kaycee's 7th birthday we had a combo friend b-day party with her friend Samantha. Samantha and Kaycee are a year and a few days apart. The theme for the party this year was "Spa day" We did hair, painted nails, made beaded necklaces and played dress up. I think the party turned out good. ;)
Here are all the girls after the make overs were done. Sorry for the side ways picture.
Here they are putting the necklaces together.
