Swim Lessons

Poor Eli, he REALLY hates swim lessons. I kept thinking they would get better, but it just keeps getting worse. The mean mom in me secretly thinks it's a little funny how he sits on the side of pool with his pathetic looking expression. Every time we leave the class he tells me that "he NEVER wants to do that again!". Anyway, today I thought I would share some pictures from the very traumatic experience...

Feeling optimistc before they start, even giving me a thumbs up!

Wait a minute, you don't think I am going in there, do you?

Waiting his turn, so skinny and cold

This is pretty much the facial expression he keeps during the whole class, well except for when it's his turn and then he is screaming "Mommy, Mommy, Mommy" and crying at the top of lungs

Begging me to get out...

"I can't take this anymore!"

Class almost over, eyes all puffy and red. Poor boy :(

Before we even left the pool, he started telling me the same thing that he does every week...

Little Sophia...

Okay, I had to share this picture of my God Daughter Sophia (Drew and Latefe's little girl). This was at her first birthday last weekend. What a cutie!!

Caden Michael

Caden had his first big "drop off" birthday party last week for his buddy Tyler's 4th birthday. The boys had so much fun and I love this picture of them. Can't believe how big they are all getting!

Finally...a snowman!!!!

We finally have the right kind of snow to build a snowman! Of course, it just happens to be the day before it's supposed to be 50 degrees, so I guess he will not be around long...but it was fun anyway.
