2011 Summer Swimming Lessons!

Summer swim lessons have come to a end!

So Thought I would share a few of my favorite moments!

Jenna is our little fish, she has no fear and did great this year!

Kayla is not so fond of the water to say the most she just tolerated class, but eventually did everything asked by her teacher!

I tried uploading videos to this post but well blogger would not play them so I'm publishing this in multiple post (user error I'm sure!)

Hope you enjoy the videos the girls are sad swim is over, but for me I'm kinda glad! It's a lot of work taking them 5 day's a week in the hot sun!

My favorite!

I loved Kayla's teacher Cameron, he was great with Kayla and let's just say I may have a small teenage girl crush on him:)

Kayla

Kayla jumping from the starting block...this was the last day of class and I was shocked that she actually agreed to do it! She still won't jump from the side of the pool so I'm proud she got up the nerve to do it!

Jenna

Jenna jumping from the life guard tower...the child has no fear she begged to be the first one off!

Out of the darkness comes light

My last post was rather dark and well rather depressing so I'm happy to say that I feel the light again and am doing much better! Had a nice day at church, to say the least my cup was once again filled and now it runneth over. Came home and spent time planning my Young Women lesson for next week (I know over achiever) I then spent some quality time with the girls, I kinda like having sick kids, yea they are a little grumpy but they actually will cuddle me and hold still, for example in church today Jenna actually climbed onto my lap during sacrament and fell asleep...yes she is really too big for that now and I could barely hold her but as she slept I was loving every minute of it! I can't remember the last time I held Jenna while she was sleeping & I didn't want it to end!

In addition to church I have a few other reasons I'm feeling so much better; first I think I have all our unexpected bills paid off and really I should not let those kind of things get to me at least we have the money for them...well kinda we may be feasting on ramen noodles & PB&J till Friday, but the bills are paid so whoohoo! Second this week is looking much more balanced than the past few have been. I'm really hoping the girls get over this cold fast I'm missing the beach and am looking forward to movie day, going to the library, swimming, the splash pad and I have two day's this week scheduled to hang out with dear friends while Justin watches the kids!

Yes life is good now, and writing about all the positives in life just makes me feel even happier, plus it's summer time and I really, really love summer especially in so cal, if we ever have to move away I may have to insist on buying a summer home here because I'm sure my soul would shrivel and die without the beach and lovely palm tree's to look at!

Blah.....

Yup this is how I feel as of late just blah! So many little things have come up and really they are just little bumps in life which I usually handle quite well, but the last little while I just feel blah about all of them! Maybe it has something to do with paying taxes this week, going to the dentist (I really hate the dentist!) finding out our landlord is selling our house come May and the thought of moving is giving me small panic attacks in the middle of the night, my morals being attacked at every turn (really to those who preach acceptance of all people & lifestyles...accept me that I have different beliefs, that I have faith in heavenly laws so please don't judge me, tell jokes at my expense or my religions, it's really mean and yes it really hurts my feelings), Jenna's asthma has now been upgraded to moderate and she is now on daily asthma control, our little play date buddies being all out of town or just having conflicting schedules, feeling a little forgotten about by family (not you mom!) and the fact I think I'm ovulating and therefore have turned into a crazy mad women who is either crying or yelling, so yes it just all adds up to blah! Ahhh I feel so much better now that's off my chest, but still emotions are running high. Thinking I may break down and have a good cry tonight... I really believe 90% of this is hormonal, so the good news is by Saturday I should be back to my old happy self and the stuff that is bothering me now I will be able to laugh at and brush off my shoulders without a second thought, but if every month is going to be like this and based on the past 6 I think they are Justin just may take me to the doc for some serious medicating!
