Swimming Season has begun

Tyler catching some waves at the kiddie pool - enjoying the shaded water in the 97' heat! Tyler has completed two weeks of swim lessons and can now do the doggy paddle exceptionally. So glad I spent money on lessons when he will not even practice the strokes.

Tyler's last day of Preschool Party with Mrs. McCollum

The boys of the class are just being silly here - not quite sure what Tyler is doing there. The Boys of the class are Tyler, Jacob, Grant, Landon, and Carter. I think these boys will be friends for a very long time.
Tyler received the Dandy Dinosaur award for always pretending to be a dinosaur in class.
Here is most of the class at the performance where they sang some of the songs/verses they learned in Chapel this year. I didn't realize they would be singing or I would have brought/used the video cam instead of the 15sec. video on my camera.

Child for Sale

Anyone looking for an adorable 5 year old that loves dinosuars, pizza, ice cream and wearing pajamas ALL the time - he is on aisle 12 at Costco!

Second Season Soccer Party

Another Soccer Season ends and there was great improvement in skills and actually having fun. I think the coach has the patience of a saint - 5 year olds do not pay attention, do not do what they are told - in fact they usually do the opposite, and have minds of their own.

Feeding the Ducks

Tyler was watching a turtle bob up and down after feeding the ducks and swans.
This one particular bird decided he was still hungry and a finger would do - he chased Tyler all the way back to the picnic table and this of course freaked Tyler out. After I shooed the bird away, I told Tyler it is important not to try to pet birds - you never know if they are hungry or not.

Home For Sale

So, Tyler is trying to be helpful as I start to pack the house up and get ready for Mom to stage it.
It is official, we have a sign and everything - now the pressure is on.
I will miss our 'first' house, but bigger and better things are in store for us!

Back to the Childrens Museum

Tyler I went back for our monthly trip to the Childrens Museum to see and play with some of our favorite exhibits. We usually spend about 1/2 an hour at the bubble tables - these are our favorite! We try to see who can make the biggest bubble or who can make the bubble arch last the longest.







Tyler enjoys playing with the ping pong balls and the air thingy. He doesn't understand yet that 4-5 balls can not stay up in the air above the orange cone, but he will spend 10 minutes trying to make it happen.





We always seem to find the water table, and there always seems to be some class there and they always seem to splash that nasty water all over everyone, but that makes it so much fun!
