Talan Swimming Father's Day

Here is a video of Talan swimming, we are so proud of him he will be 4 in August and is already attempting to swim like a big boy, hopefully by the end of summer he will have enough confidence to start to jump in and swim back to the ledge.

Father's Day Weekend

We had a wonderful father's day. We basically just hung out at home and swam all day Saturday and Sunday. Saturday we swam and Miek found a gopher tortise in our yard so Talan got to look at it, however the tortise was frightned so we let him be on his merry way. Saturday I made a nice pasta meal for the family and we ate popcorn and watched a movie together. We went for a little boat ride Sunday morning on the river which the kids enjoyed, they were looking for turtles, however we found only 1. We also swam on Sunday and lazed around the house. I made a nice shrimp and steak meal and we watched another movie as a family. We stayed around the house, becuase that is what Mike wanted to do and both Talan and Noah are sick with a GI bug so we didn't want to share the germs with the rest of our extended family. Overall the weekend was GREAT!!!

Maddie's extra long bangs and Noah swims

So I had to throw in some pictures of Maddie's hair, she refuses to wear hair clips and every once in a while I can get her hair up and it will stay in for a bit. So I decided to put some pictures up. However, her without the clip her bangs are past her eyes...what's a girl to do. Also Noah will be 2 in July and is already swimming, with of course adult supervision in the pool, we need to teach him to swim to the side but he insists on just jumping in and swimming to who is in the pool, here is a video enjoy!!!

Maddie walks with stroller

So Maddie is finally walking while pushing things, which of course she is doing way before any of the boys did....you go girl!!! Also she is a little over 17 pounds and is about to turn 10 months old. She has weaned herself from the bottle and eats food like crazy. She typically only would take 8-12oz of formula so I had to start giving her more food to supplement so she wouldn't lose weight or drop percentages, she eventually has said YUCK GROSS to forumla so now she takes about 6-10oz of formula and I give her 8 oz of pediasure. What can I say those reflux babies are very difficult to please and get to eat so whatever she wants she gets.

Also for those who dont' know we are having another boy and have no idea on a name so hopefully he won't be No name Griffen.
