Carson's Swim Lessons

I signed Carson up for the Parent-tot class at Karen's Aquatics while my dad was here so someone could come with us to watch Owen. Carson loves the water, so it didn't surprise me on how great of a job he did during the lessons. We worked on back floats, going under the water and turning around to grab the wall after jumping in the water and playing games in the water. Here are a few pictures my dad was able to take.

Grandpa Hillard's Visit

Grandpa Hillard came for a visit a few weeks ago, and we had a busy week! When he and Jason weren't playing golf or gambling (:P), we took a trip to Colossal Cave, went fishing and took Carson to his swimming lessons. With all the going on, the week flew by! In all the running around, I somehow lost my camera, which I am not thrilled about, so I lost a few pictures. Thankfully, I found an old camera of ours, so I haven't missed too much documenting of Carson and Owen. =) Here are a few pictures from my dad's trip, most taken by my dad. Thanks for everything while you were here - we love you!

Pump It Up

The other week, we headed to Tucson's Pump It Up with my friend, Elizabeth, and her son, Mason. The boys had a wonderful time jumping, climbing and sliding on the many inflatables! Owen liked watching all the kids jumping as well....I'm sure it won't be long until he's jumping right along with them.

Carson and his Dinosaurs

Carson is still into his dinosaurs. He knows the names of quite a few, and he can tell you which ones are carnivores or herbivores. He's my little paleontologist in the making. =) His favorite thing right now is to play Jurassic Park with his dinosaurs. He then has his knights be Dr. Alan Grant and Malcolm; it's the funniest thing. Here he is lining up the meat-eaters vs. the plant eaters.

Swing, Swing

Pictures of us swinging at the park one morning. It was Owen's first time on a swing. He didn't freak out, so I'm guessing he enjoyed it. =)
