Pool Park

I joined Reagan on her field trip to a local pool.  We had a great "girls day", but decided that we needed to bring daddy and Cooper next time!

Last Lesson

Tonight, the kids had their last swim lesson of the season.  Reagan has really transformed into a swimmer and Cooper has made great strides.  Hopefully, they will be able to take more lessons in the fall/winter so they won't forget everything they've learned!

 she wouldn't put her face in the water at the beginning of the summer

 Cooper can put his face in the water too!

Backpack, Backpack

It's almost time for school to start again ~ hard to believe Reagan will be in the first grade!  We've started shopping for school little by little; our first purchase for the year is a new backpack.  Reagan had originally wanted a pink and black one, then changed to a purple with pink polka dots, but ulitmately decided on this one!  I think she made a very good choice.

Ride On!

It's way too hot to play outside, so we make good use of the garage and let Reagan and Cooper get a little exercise in there.  More riding of bikes and scooters tonight!



The boy needs a bike of his own!

 how'd he get so cute?

PJs, Chicken, & Swimming

Tonight at our local Chick-Fil-A, if you wore your pajamas ~ you got FREE FOOD.  So, Beth and I took our kids to eat and play before swim!

here they are in their pajamas

 the highlight of the night is always ice cream...on a cone

 Reagan LOVES ice cream

 After finishing our dinner, we headed to swim practice

 he doesn't like it, but he's getting better at putting his head under water

 LOVE this picture!

 time for the backstroke



A New Ride

We bought Cooper a new scooter today, so he and Reagan got plenty of "wheel time" in the garage this afternoon.

trying out his new wheels

 he still likes riding a bike ~ I guess that's next on the shopping list!

 on your mark, set, GO!

 Reagan's too fast to get a picture of!

 she is a whiz on her scooter

 she couldn't resist trying out something of Cooper's
