Kadyn and swimming lessons
Kadyn started swimming lessons 2 weeks ago. Kadyn has always loved being in the water, but hates getting water in her eyes. Her swim coach, Ms. Jeneatte, says she is doing great so far. She has very strong kicks and good body position.We are going to get Kadyn some goggles to try and help her be more excited about putting her face in the water. Here are a few pictures of her first lesson. She did go off of the big slide after the lesson last week and went all the way under! She was so proud of herself! I hope to get pictures of her going down the slide next week.
Never Say Never
I have had two situations in the past few weeks that I promised myself as a teenager I would never do. Of course- what did I know at that time in my life? I thought I knew everything! The first came when I went to try on my swimsuit before heading to the pool with the kids. I am so glad I tried it on the night before or I would have been in a world of hurt the next morning! Needless to say, I was not fitting in it anymore. I bulged where I should have flowed smoothly. I showed Eric and he said there was no way I was going out in public in that suit! I definitely agreed. So, off to the store I go. Now, I have never been one to find a bathing suit quickly. So I began praying all the way to the store. I needed a suit that I felt good about but I needed it fast! Well after only two trips to the dressing room I found one!!! Here is where the irony of my teenage years came in-- I now have a skirt on my suit! Me- who made a vow to never wear such a "mother" suit is now the proud owner of one!
Of course that was not all. I am now the proud owner of a Dodge Grand Caravan-- yes that is right-- me in a minivan. Again another thing I said would never happen! However, the importance of space with two kids seems to outway anything else. What I find funny- I actually love it! Granted I have only had it 2 days- but I LOVE IT!!!!!!! My how our perspectives change as we mature- as we add children into the mix. I know there are many more of these "I never" situations to come! I look forward to each one!

Dylan's Birthday continued
Here are more pics of Dylan's first birthday. We did have a party the Saturday after his actual birthday. Those pictures will come soon. He is in 18 month clothes! He is a little over 31 inches and weighs about 22 lbs! He is walking everywhere now and of course is into everything! We had a blast watching him celebrate!

Dylan's First Birthday
ok- technical difficulties- I will have to try and add more pics later-- blogger is not uploading--???
Today, June 1, is Dylan's first birthday. The day started out normal-waking me up at 6:30. He played quite well this morning, but then it was nap time. He did not want to go down. He fussed for over an hour and finally gave it up. I had a hair appointment today, so Dylan and Kadyn went to the Fore's for most of the afternoon. Michael said he was great. He loved their dog Elliot. Then it was home. Granny Lou called and asked if we would like to meet her and Pop for dinner at Molly's Burgers. They wanted to see Dylan today. We were already planning to have a cake at our house tonight- so we took it with us. What fun we had! Daddy let him have his first taste of Coke- and well- he is my child- he wanted more-- LOTS more! I will let the pictures show you how much Dylan enjoyed his cake. He had an audience at one point and the owner of the place came out and Dylan offered him some cake! It was a neat time! We are looking forward to his birthday party this Saturday.
Dylan- I cannot tell you how much I love you. You have brought such excitement to my life. You keep me on my toes, wear me out, but always want to stop for a hug. I love you for this. You are my prince-I have loved this first year of your life. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for you. I know that God has great and marvelous things planned for you. I pray that you begin now to know His name and feel His love for you. I love you sweet boy! Mommy
