Family Day Park & Twigs

My brother Walter and his wife Katie & their three girls came to visit. Walter was only here for a day so we took full advantage of the nice sunny day and headed to the park. All the cousins had so much fun throwing the football and chasing each other. There were even a few kids that we didn't know that got in on the football action. Whomever had the ball got chased until they could throw it to Walt or Travis and then they got chased.

Thanks Aunt Ginger for another great picture.........just wish somehow you could be in one once in awhile.

Cute boys!!!

Some fun pictures of our boys! We started the swim lessons so Gavin insisted that he needed the mask and breathing gear. The boys had a blast playing with it and their new goggles in the tub the other day.

Such great smiles from my boys.

Gavin figured out that it was much more fun to drink out of the snorkel gear then to use it correctly.

Brothers and best friends.

Crazy faces!!!!

1st Day of Swim Lessons

We finally decided to get the boys into swim classes this Spring, getting ready for summer swims. My sister recommended the Liberty Lake athletic club for lessons. It's really nice because it's just our two boys with the instructor. Both boys were a little hesitant about going but figured out quickly that they get to play in the water. They really did great! The water was pretty cold so it took a little bit to get in and use to it. I even got to jump in with them for the last few minutes of their class. Then we got to go sit in the hot tub, loved that. We'll go two times a week for the whole month of April. I'm sure we'll have to do classes again when they get older, but this is a good time for them to get use to the water.

The instructor giving the boys the run down of pool rules.....no running and listening, all that jase.

Goggle time!

Gavin was very excited about being able to wear goggles.

Here we go, getting into the water!!

Getting wet a little before going in any more.

Big thumbs up from Gavin.

Picnic lunch

Picnic Lunch inside? We are having so many cold & rainy days lately that the boys are getting antsy to get out and do some picnic's (as well as mommy). So we had our own picnic lunch in the living room the other day. The boys had fun and enjoyed pretending like it's summer time.

Cheese!!!!

Brother's (they love each other most of the time)!!

Garrett all tuckered out after our picnic.........but don't messy with my toys

.........keeps his toys very close during nap time.

Katie & her girls visit

My sis-in-law Katie and her three adorable girls are in Spokane for a two week visit! We got together at my brothers place for a few hours to let the kids play and the mommies to talk. I loved seeing my brother Walter and Family over the holidays this year. They were here for so long I got use to them being around again and then when they left I really missed them a lot. So great to see them again and see all my little nieces. Hope to get some more time together before they head home. Aunt Margo, and Chloe.

Aunt Tonya and Bella.

Bella, Tonya, and Tiffany........so cute!

Emma, never wants to smile for her Aunt. :)
