Swimming Lessons

Yesterday we had our first swim lessons! It was a blast! Ellie love love loved it. She was absolutely a front runner for her age with comfort in the water. We first had her stand on the edge of the pool and jump to me while I was in the water. She was the first kid to jump! And she laughed the whole way!

We were even able to get her to kick while on her belly, blow bubbles in the water, and float a little on her back although that was her least favorite part.

We have 7 more lessons and Jared's taking her tonight!





Chocolate Face

Someone found and snuck a piece of chocolate.....and loved every minute of it.

Montana Vacation

Wow! Has it really been an entire month since I last posted? I honestly wouldn't have guessed it had been that long. The good and sad news is that there hasn't been much for us to post about until now.

For the 4th of July weekend we were so lucky to take a trip to Montana. This trip was to celebrate our friend Josh's 30th birthday back in May. The house we rented was absolutely beautiful just up the road from Flathead Lake.



Look who we ran into!!


Best Friends!






About 2/3 of the group went white water rafting, but Becky, Jillian, Gretch, Toby, Ellie and I (and Mack the dog) went to Glacier National Park for a quick tour.
