Swimming Lessons with Taylor, Brett, & Carter!

These are photos from the boys (Taylor, Brett, & Carter) swim lessons!

Carter about to do the safety test, this is where Dawn (the swim instructor) had the boys jump in with all of their clothes on to see if they had learned to swim to the steps if they were to fall in while no one was around to help.

Carter about to take the plunge...

Taylor kept saying where is my swimsoup, is what he calls it!

He kept asking Dawn where is my swimsoup?!?!?

He did not want to go in the water with his clothes on!

Brett was the same way, he did not want to swim in his clothes, he said...I can't get my clothes wet.

He finally jumped in, but wanted his swimsuit on immediately!

Carter Drew absolutely loves the water!

Carter practicing his kicking!

Brett, Uncle Jason, & Hayden watch as Taylor is completing his last swim lesson!

Brett wanted to just sit and play the guitar!

This is the swim instructors daughter who came over a couple times to play while her mother taught the lessons.  I caught her and Taylor sneaking oreo cookies...if you look closely she has the evidence in her teeth!  Taylor one day called her his girlfriend, she is only 2 years older!

Taylor will not swim unless he has his goggles!

Taylor almost swimming the width of our pool!

This is what Taylor would do before diving down to get the rings, it was so cute!

Brett learned how to float on his back without help!

Happy 4th of July!

Taylor getting ready to shoot his party canon, which shoots out confetti!

Daddy helping Taylor aim the canon upward!

Watching as the confetti go up high in the sky!

Daddy stuffed the canon with flour not thinking that it would go all over them!

Taylor was showered with flour!


For the 4th we went up to PeePaw's and Gammi's new place at the Ritz to watch all of the fireworks shows across the skyline of Dallas.

This summer Taylor, Brett, & Carter took swim lessons at our house for a three week period.  We had so much fun watching the boys learn how to swim and play with each other!  Here are a several photos of the fun, but exhausting days with the boys!

The boys did so good in swim lessons, Taylor and Brett learned how to swim without floaties, dive down and get rings as well as float on their backs.  Carter learned how to go under the water, kick his legs, and float on his back.  The boys did so well and of course they had a great time playing afterwards!
