Who knew they could swim...

Like everything else I've ever done with the kids - I decided it's time to lose the swim floaties COLD TURKEY. Friday we went swimming at uncle g & aunt p's pool w/o swim devices and ya know what. THEY COULD FREAKIN SWIM!!! Eli seriously swam underwater like a fish. Austin swam like a rock, sorta haha..Macie was soso, but she had swim lessons last year. Nothing to brag about, though. We go over there today and it was like 3 totally different kids. All 3 kids were jumping off the diving board and swimming over to the ladder like it was nobodies business. I was so excited and totally impressed. I'm not impressed by much, so this is saying a lot. Austin started flipping off the boat last weekend a-n-d was doing it off the diving board today. I'll remind you he's 5 and a stud at that!! Eli can do one heck of a cannon ball - only problem there is he doesn't know how to bring himself back up. Macie does some little twist and turns, which makes her happy. I forgot my camera at home, so a huge thanks to Greg and his IPhone for the video coverage.

Putt-putt


Friday nite we ventured out and took the kids to play putt-putt for the first time ever. They had a blast. Eli hit the ball real well, Macie kept hitting it WAY too hard, and Austin kept wanting to swing like he does a baseball bat.






They were so amazed and confused on the last hole. They just couldn't understand W-H-Y they took your ball and W-H-E-R-E it went.

I was destined for twins


I'm just now learning that I was destined for "twins" my whole entire life. When I was a toddler I ended up with 2 honey babies, again as a young girl I had 2 cabbage patch dolls that looked the exact same, but bought at different times by 2 different people and tonight we found "twin squash". These 2 squash were stuck together, interesting I know. :0)
