To Infinity and Beyond!




Yesterday evening we finally made it down to our pool.  The kids had a blast and didn't want to leave.  They were all so brave, especially Landon!  All of them would jump in and go under water too.  Landon and Duke would have to do their Buzz Lightyear "to infinity and beyond" before each jump.  It was so funny!  Daddy was teaching Sadie how to hold her breath and put her head under water too.  She would get so excited each time she would do it, but then would go wipe her face off with a towel.  It was hard enough keeping up with all three with both Greg and I there, I most definitely couldn't do it on my own!  They don't quite understand that they need to WALK around the pool.  Landon did a nice "Pete Rose" slide right on the pavement.  It looked painful, but he got up and kept going.  They pretty much have no fear, so you never knew if they would just jump right in.  We definitely need to practice our "pool manners." Here's some pics of each of them taking a plunge.

How fun!! It's great that they aren't afraid of the water. They'll be little fish by the end of the summer. Fun times!!

that looks fun. We started our daily routine of going to the pool today. I have a life jacket we use for Jeremiah, that way he can jump in and get out and do it again and I dont have to be right there. I was in the pool today but it is hard enough with a baby. Maybe you should invest in life jackets so you can take them swimming and wear them out every day. (and get in nice naps) It is a great investment if you ask me.
