Off to the Pool

Off to the PoolWe are off to the pool, which is just the start of the day. Later, we are meeting our baseball friends at the Tofflemire July 4th party to watch the baseball game and fireworks.

Happy Birthday Katie Beth

Our little girl has turned two today. It has been a wild ride so far
with Katie Beth. She is so full of energy and life.

I’m so thankful that she came into our lives.

Another Day of Fun

Linda and Ellice Johnson stopped in for visit today while they are in town from Santa Barbara. We had a great time catching up. We shared lunch from Thomas Bar-B-Q and we went to my dad’s bar, The Nook, since they had not seen it.

Later in the day, Karen, Katie Beth, and I went to the pool. Katie Beth had fun spraying the deck with the water hose. Karen got to sit and read her book.

What a busy day!

Weekend of Swimming

We spent most of the weekend swimming. Katie Beth had a blast. I get a kick out of watching her play in the water.

Over the next few weeks, we are going to have to get serious about her swimming skills, because she has lost many of her abilities from last summer. Last summer, she held her breath when asked to do so. Now, she will laugh her way into the deep water and keep laughing as she goes under.

I hope to get her in the pool during the week when there are fewer people (less children) to distract her. We need to work on her holding her breath and floating. We will start with floating and rolling over in the water.
