Busy Summer

My mom came down on july 7th so Ean and I could float the river with our friends!

She stayed for the next 10 days which were filled with swim lessons, playing at the childrens museum, the park with rides, and on that following sat ean and i went to des moines to run the warrior dash and then mom was "allowed" to go home on sunday! but alyssa came back with us and went home on the bus tuesday.

Swimming lessons are done now and chasen still is no scared of the water. We swam at home last night and he wanted to swim with out floaties for a while. I had to help him of course, but I think he will get the hang of it. With the floaties on he likes to jump off the ladder backwards!!

Dahstyn loves the pool too!

This boy is changing so much, he can almost crawl...so so close get up on his knees and rocks and face plants...it wont be long

 dashtyn loved the ride!

 and chasen and I went ice skating for the first time...I hadn't went since 6th grade

 we were both a little nervous but he only fell once and i didnt fall at all!!
