Summer Splash!

Jarom loves to swim!Here's Ben in the Mom and Tot class. I'll spare you pictures of me with him.:)
Brennen really grew and I watched him swim clear across the pool this summer!
Dallin and Josh enjoyed being in the deep end - I was able to see Josh do a real dive off the diving board.

Brookly is no longer afraid of the water like last year. She is a little fish now.

Summer brings sun and with that only water can be fun! When we can afford it we make swimming lessons part of the kids summer activities! They all are learning and growing in their abilities and it is fun to see. It makes it a special treat when friends are in lessons at the same time! What a blessing that the Rappleye's were there at the same time when Brennen had a scary asthma attack on his first day of lessons and I hadn't even thought to bring the inhaler when he hasn't needed it all summer! Kristy had hers and it really saved us, thank you so much! Now I try to remember to carry it everywhere!

We also love the Library during the summer and do the reading programs there to earn Diamondback tickets. The kids are close to finishing already! Josh is done, of course! My children are all great readers and they love to read! Maybe I do rub off on them somewhat! We are proud of Dallin volunteering there this summer. It will help him get service hours for his service learning award on his High School diploma for future scholarships, we hope! He also helps at the food bank and the Senior Center. He is also President of his Deacon's quorum and really having a great summer.
