Kenyon Update

Well here is the smiling sunburned face of my sweet Caleb who yesterday firgured out what swimming at the pool was all about! I was so proud of him!! He has been completely afraid to do anything other than jump off the side to you and would not leave the steps even with his swim trainer on but yesterday I told Eric, once he jumped in to him, to just let go of him and see if he could swim. I knew he had the ability because I have seen it at swim lessons, even if it was while he was screaming bloody murder at the swim teacher. So Eric let go and Caleb was off, he had so much fun at the pool!! It is amazing what a little bit of confidence does for you!!

So this was this morning as we were getting ready to leave for the grocery store. Caleb made his crown yesterday at church and Parker could not find his so he found the next best thing . . . my headband. I don't know if he was trying to be like Caleb here or if he sees me in that headband so often that he figured he would try it on! I guess I need to start fixing myself up a little more during the week! And yes, that is how we went to the store!!

This was just a sweet picture of Parker having breakfast the other day!! It was his first time figuring out that he really does like to dip his pancake in the syrup!! Before when I would put it on his plate he would scream at the thought of trying it, not sure what made this day different but he was enjoying every bit!!

Eric's grandparents came to stay with us last week! It was such a special treat!! It is so awesome that Caleb and Parker get to know their great grandparents!! I don't have any grandparents left on my side so it is really special to me that they will have the memories with Nana and Big John!! I just had to put this picture on here Parker was not happy about being in the picture so he decided he would run in the other direction when we were taking it! Thanks Nana for coming!! You are welcome anytime!!

This weekend we are off to Eric's other grandparents house in AL to be with all of his mother's family! It will be a short trip but it will be nice for the kids to get to spend some time with them as well!

Everything else is going great around here! Eric and I are off to Lake Tahoe in a few weeks so I am very excited about that! He has to go there on business so being the sweet husband he is, he thought I would enjoy some rest and relaxation so I am going along! I don't know what I will do with myself on a plane ride for four hours with no children! We went on this trip last year together and it was great to have that time just us!!

Other than that . . . summer is just flying by!! Caleb will be in school three days a week in September! That is going to be weird I won't know what to do with myself! Parker will start two days a week in Feb. and maybe by then, we will be planning for a family of five!!
