Family Reunion (Sorta)

Saturday we had a Reuninon with my moms sister, and one of my moms friends. The rest of my moms family lives out of state. The familys were unable to all meet in one spot so we had a reunion with the familes here in Arizona. My uncle Jimmy taught us how to make rockets, that we launched with an air compressor. The kids had a blast (me too).
Bella and Jimmy.

Abby and Sunny.

Nick and Slade, making "Slades Time Rocket" thats what Slade named his rocket.

and Brooky finishing up the final touches on hers.

Swimming alone ( with the help of a noodle)

Since summer began Bella would scream every time I worked with her in the water. She was ok if you just held her, without any swimming lessons attached. Well on thursday I finally got her to kick by herself on the noodle. Now she likes swimming. Yipee its only taken 2 months. Next step is to get her comfortable without the noodle. One step at a time. Abby, Brooky and Slade are having a blast in the pool, the only problem is getting them out of the pool.
