Darn Foot!!

Well - it's not looking good! It looks like my darn foot is not healing correctly!!

I've requested a referal to an ortho - so we shall see what he has to say! Dang it - I don't want to be in a cast or something for vacation!! Or worse - I hope it doesn't need a screw to fix it!

ARRRRGGGHHHHH!

Swim Lessons!

Amie started something new this week! On Tuesday she had her first swim lesson - I didn't get to go to it because of a meeting at work that night. But tonight I got to go!

Second night of lessons - and she was quite the wiggle worm! She has talked and talked about it! The leader took the little ones to the area where their instructors were:

Amie was up and down and up and down & in and out of the pool!!






Now it's her turn with the instructor!




And they are supposed to kick their feet -- I don't think it's supposed to be to purposely kick water into the instructors face! But look at that look our little Missy has on her face!! She is very naughty at times!



Now it's time to go to the diving board - WHAT??!!?? Yes - you heard it - they took them to the diving board!! My heart was beating super fast!


But they were very cautious with the kids - it's almost Amie's turn!


"Walk to the end & jump off" -- Amie's not sure about this....




"Are you kidding - I'm outta here" She says!



"It's ok Amie - we're right here" "Would you like me to help you?"




YEAH!!! That was fun!!!

Harley versus John Deere

It all started with Darwin mowing the grass - but it turned into a contest......

Water Day!

Water Day!!!

Today was water day at pre-school!! The kids were to wear their swimsuits under their clothes to school. Then they get to play in all kinds of water things on the play ground!! The kids look forward to it all year!!
.
No exception at our house!! We've been hearing about, "Amie wear my suit" for at least a week!!



Problem this morning was that she didn't want to put any clothes over the suit!!! Took quite a bit of arguing with her to convince her that they would not let her on the bus without clothes over her suit!!
.
I was able to sneak out for a few minutes to get a chance to check out the activities at pre-school today! When I got there Amie was playing the memory game with friends!


Shawn is one of Amie's special friends! He loves to be silly & thinks that Amie's pretty cool!



Kiandra is another of Amie's friends. They play well together also!


Jada likes to be the mother hen! She's adorable! Very articulate!


After some silly time, it was time to sing songs. Amie is still not singing with the gang -but she is sitting and listening much better! Look how serious she is - you would never know they were singing the song about "Brown Bear, Brown Bear; What do you see?"


Now it was time for "Going surfin' in my imagination"!! They were practicing the poses they would do outside at the picture station!


Yeah! We're finally outside!!! Amie looked a little overwhelmed at first! But it didn't take long!

Here is the purple room hanging their towels up!


Miss German - checking to make sure everyone was following over to the picture station!

Mrs. Alvarado

Here we are at the picture station - Ok everybody - Let's go surfin' in our imagination!!! See the little shark & turtle??!! How cute!
.
Amie did a great job of trying to balance on one foot ~~ surfin' dude!!


Now time to get wet!!! Amie waited patiently for her turn on the slide~~~~


Heading down the slide~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ut Oh~~~~~~~~~~~



All of a sudden she had second thoughts about getting wet~~~~~~~she spread her feet out & came to an almost complete stop!!



Then just stepped out into the water!! How funny it was!!!




But - she was ready for another go at it!!!

Then I had to run!! She had a great time!!
