Let Swimming Season Begin!!

This week, my little brothers had swimming lessons while I was in school. I am not sure that it is completely fair, but that's the way it goes! Mom took lots of pictures and video so that I could see their showoff today!! I am such proud big brother of all three little swimmers :)


A lot of pictures of Wilson and Peyton together, but these two don't stand close to each other and still very often!!



Here is a picture of Peyton floating on his back. He did such a good job... he would get so relaxed floating that he would cross his legs, and he even yawned one time! It looked like he was taking a nap on the water!!

Peyton was a great swimmer too. He put his superman arms out front and kicked his little legs all the way across the pool! Here is a picture of him with his chipmunk cheeks preparing to dive for the rings on the bottom. He came up with a ring every time!





Big brothers proudly watching Peyton swim!



Wilson did a wonderful job as well. I have to brag a little since Wilson works so very hard to be as "big" as we are!! The "exceptional 3 year old swimmer" (per Ms. Kara at last year's lessons) started working on his freestyle last year and picked up right where he left off! He added the 'kick and fin' back float to his list of "strokes"... he even did the backstroke today!! Ms. Kara said that this is the first time she has ever taught a 4year old the back stroke :) Here is our wild Wilson, yelling BONSAI as he did a cannon ball into the pool, followed by his freestyle and backstroke!!




Dylan was a confident swimmer with a good freestyle, kick and fin, backstroke, and elementary backstroke. He even swam to the bottom of the deep end to retrieve dive sticks and rings! I think that the swimmers are ready for summertime!!



I did get to enjoy a walking field trip at school this week, so I can't complain too much! Yesterday, we walked to Domino's Pizza and learned a little about the business side of things... and more importantly, we each got to make our VERY OWN small pizza! Talk about made the way I like it and FRESH!! It was a fun day.

Me and a fun bunch waiting for our aprons and pizza making to begin!

In the official Domino's apron!

Working to get the dough just right!

On to the toppings to create my perfect pizza!

This is my "enough pictures mom" face!

Today we had a Read-a-Thon in honor of the last day to earn AR points for the school year! I made it to the 100 point club on Tuesday and earned a few extra points today. A great way to wrap up my reading for the year!

A little baseball at Ford Park this weekend, an Astros game for Dylan and Wilson on Tuesday, and then Dylan's Pre-K Graduation on Thursday evening!! Looking forward to a lot of end of the year excitement! We will keep the updates coming -Ryan
