"Life is just like an old time rail journey ... delays, sidetracks, smoke, dust, cinders, and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride." Gordon B. Hinckley

Swimming lessons

We love swimming lessons!! Every summer at the same time we do swimming lessons and the kids look forward to it all summer long. We always go with our friends the Torman’s, we have done that for years and the kids have become really good friend's through swimming lessons. Between our two families we have 9 children so it is kind of fun to see them all and how much they have grown each year. We love going to Shelley to swim because the pool is so warm and clean and there are hardly any kids in each class. This year Maddy was in a class all by herself because there was no one else her age, she pretty much got one on one private lessons so she really learned a lot. She even learned how to do a flip off of the diving board! The girls all learned to swim so good and it was perfect timing because all of our fun summer adventures in hotels took place after swimming lessons so the girls could swim on their own in the pools. Fun summer days spent at swimming lessons in the heat will be one of my great memories of the summers when the kids were young. I was busy this year with taking care of Raegan and watching Jaxon at the park but I did manage to get a lot pictures of them.

Jaxon and Daddy playing with Dad’s knife, Jaxon thought that was pretty cool. Josh got to come one day and watch the girls swim, they were so excited to have him there. It’s amazing how important it is for the kids to have their Dad there for them, they love him!

We can’t forget little Raegan! She was such a good baby at swimming lessons.
