We had such a fun summer this year. It was very hot and great for us who love the pool. The kids were very excited for school to start so I felt like we were able make the best of the summer. Garrett has been begging me to not wear floaties or a life jacket in our pool. He kept saying "I can swim I can swim." One day just to humor him, I took them off and low and behold he was right. He can swim about half way across our circle pool until he needs a breath which is what is is doing in the picture, but he's pretty much got the hang of it. I say to him, "lets rest", he will come up for a breath and then say "No Again". He sleeps really good at nap time....
Brent loves the pool, but not the heat as much as we do.
1st Grade


Brent was nervous but very excited about going to school. His little friend Cole is in his class so he is excited. Kaylee was so ready to go to school and in fact didn't even want me to walk her down the hall way. I did anyways and she fell apart once I tried to leave. I left her in the arms of her nice teacher with tears running down her face. Our little princess was sad, but she will enjoy it over time. Garrett on the other hand, jumped right in and started playing with the kids and was not ready to leave. He wore his back pack to school both times. He is so funny.

I can't believe that they've already started school!! It's fun to be excited. By the way, we had Adam's family here last week and they have a boy just younger than Sam and Sam kept calling him Garrett (his name is Isaac :-)). - Jennie

I agree with Brent.. I love the pool, hate the heat.. Maybe you should look into a heated pool for the winter time. :) haahaha

They look so cute all dressed for school.
