Sammie the fish

Samantha is a little fish these days. I can't get her out of the pool...not even for snacks!!! She'll say, "I just want to stay in and practice my swimming"! It's great. Today she was working on her front float, which she can hold for a good 3 seconds!!! Not bad for a kid who would NOT put her face in the water for the last 4 years!!!
Here she is today at the gym pool, loving life!


Happy fish.

Swimming to the side.

Jumping in.

She even throws her toys to the
bottom and goes down to get them!

Explorers

Today we were very busy having fun. This morning we went to the Children's Museum of Phoenix. If you haven't been there yet, I highly recommend it. So much to do and see. We took Grandpa since he hadn't been and he had a great time.
Then this afternoon we went to the pool for some fun...in and out of the water!


Playing store...love Cole's little head poking up!

Checkout girl Sammie.

Shopper Cole. He wasn't sure how to operate this thing!

He LOVED playing garden though:)

Taking a load off with a good book.

Running through the noodle forest was Cole's favorite!

Blocks!

Fall down.

When we were at the gym pool today I just happened to have

my camera in my bag from this morning...good thing! We learned

that we fit IN the lockers!!! Ha!

Something fishy

Today was another beautiful day...probably the last one before summer makes it's grand entrance. We spent the morning at Desert Breeze. There was fishing, playing, feeding ducks, picnic lunch and lots and lots of fresh air. Fun family memories just spending time together. Love days like these.


Walking in to the park ready to roll.

Cole get his first fishing lesson from Dad.

Sammie is a pro...princess fishing pole and all!

Peter in his element!

Hot stuff

Today we met up at the park with friends to splash around, dig, swing, slaide, eat and generally just horse around. It was a super fun morning and the kids just ran and ran. The splashpad was not as nbig of a hit as we expected but that's ok. It's fun to have friends:)


Sammie and Ana snacking together.

Taking a swig.

Happy girl.

Last day of school

I can not believe I am already writing this post. The LAST day of preschool. I am going to be such a mess when Sammie starts kindergarten...sniffle, sniffle.
Today was fun, the kids got to bring lunch and eat together outside under the trees. Then the parents came back at the end of class and the kids sang some of their favorite songs. Then the teachers called the kids up one by one and gave them a goodie bag, new book and a scrapbook. SO sweet. They collected work, pictures and wrote down things the kids' said throughout the year. Such a treasure.
This was such a great year. Her teachers were so sweet, nuturing and just loving. Sammie learned so much and really grew so independent this year. She has made lots of new friends and can't wait to start up again in the fall.
I am so proud of my little gal for all the work she's done. I just can't believe how fast it's all going by...love you Sammer!
