Swim Lessons

The kiddo's took swim lessons again this year.  Their teacher was great.  Both Mark and Megan gained some skills and confidence.  About three weeks after we finished Mark was able to swim all by himself for a bit.  Its an amusing sort of dog paddle but its all him.  He will also jump off the diving board all by himself.  Swimming is a pretty important skill here because the only way I can stand to be outside at all in the summer is if I am in a pool!

Vermont/ Girl's Weekend

This year our pilgrimage back to Vermont was not one that could be made by all so we decided to just send Mark and Mike.  Grandpa joined the party and they all headed out to Vermont for a quick weekend.

Mark was able to catch a fish just like his daddy and grandpa had.  However, he was not about to touch it.


Mark had the time of his life re-meeting so many fun people to play with.  One of the first things he asked when he got home is when do we get to go back.  Mike had fun too and wished that they had been able to stay a little longer.

Brey Family Reunion Again

So the Brey Family decided they hadn't had enough of each other in Pine Valley and we got together again in St. George at the condo of some close friends.  The kids played, played and played.  The adults ate and ate and ate.

Whenever we are going to see grandma and grandpa, Mark requests that they bring either their duplo collection or the "cowboys and indians".  Here they are playing with the cowboys and indians.

Uncle Ty teaching Mark some mad diving skills.

Uncle Bryson teaching Ben some mad chilling skills.

When your child looks like this you know its time to go home. Ha! We actually went to the rodeo in little Gunlock, Utah for a bit.  Mark was barrowing his uncles hat and glasses.  It was a great trip!

Preschool

Just a few pictures of all the fun things Mark did with his preschool this last year. We had a class of six rotating through everyone's home. We also did quite a few field trips which were awesome. Thanks to all the other Moms!
