Swimming Lessons

-
We started the kids in swimming lessons finally....they all took to it pretty good. The classes were small (4 kids) and so it was really nice...this is my favorite picture of Kate and her teacher Ms. Donnelle...she had just pretty much did a back float on her own and Donnelle turned her around to praise her and I got this shot...I love it...

This is my second favorite picture of Natali just out of the water...kind of like a wierd looking wet butterfly aviator look going on here...

Noah and the back float


I have more pictures that I haven't uploaded yet to the computer but they all did great. They never have had swimming lessons and by the end of the two weeks Noah finally submerged his face in the water, Kate kind of slowed up the second week but can blow bubbles and back float with some help she will also put her face in the water. Natali did awesome her teacher (Donnelle) said that she is the faster learner she has ever taught for a student who has never had lessons before...by the time she the two weeks were up she was jumping into the deep end and swimming (face emerged in the water) from the deep end of the pool to the shallow end (or in other words the long stretch of the pool) she also could do the back float. She is a better swimmer than I am now...

Gods Hands

God's Hand I haven't blogged in a while. I guess it's time to show some gratitude. I have come to realize in the last year or so how often we take for granted how incredibly involved our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ are in our everyday life. Just because we can't not see them physically, I find that we often forget how much they really do have their hands extended and are continually guiding us.        Of course I do believe that life is all about choices. The good, the bad, the ugly, or rather determining what is good, better and best. What we choose can shape a lot of who we are and who we have the capability of becoming. We have agency. He let's us choose. But as we follow His guidance through the Spirit I definitely think He knows where He needs us better than we do. He also knows how it will benefit us and others around us the most. I believe in being in the right place at the right time.       Most of you are aware tha...

Merry Christmas 2018! I deeply apologize for the 2nd year in a row not sending out Christmas cards/letters. I just haven't had the extra time or patience to do so. I haven't been on my blog in forever and almost forgot how to post anything. I hope you all enjoy. The past couple years have brought some trials as is life. But through it all we have continually be blessed and the outpouring of love and support from those around us have made burdens lighter. We are most grateful for our Savior and His divine hand in our lives and that is really all we can ask for. A short blurb for each of us. Nathan's business is expanding which brings more travel and more stress. But blessings all the same. He hiked the JMT trail this summer/fall for his birthday that was in May. He spent two weeks with bare minimums to survive the Yosemite mountains. It was quite the accomplishment I must say. He also co-runs a flying club that people rent planes and learn ho...

CONTEST!

I sat thinking today (dangerous I know)  and decided to change things up on my blog today...who doesn't like a CONTEST! Yup...now don't get too excited. You won't be winning millions of dollars or anything like that. Now I have friends ALL over the country and out of the country for that matter. SO if someone outside of Vegas or Utah wins this ridiculously silly contest, then I will figure out something I can mail to you. If you are local or in Utah I will make you something amazing. My amazing chocolate cupcakes, or fresh baked bread, or maybe even invite you to our home for dinner (if you are local). But as I was pondering my lack of energy today. It has taken me years...I mean years to find the secret trick to getting my energy back and back quickly. Most people I know rely on I also know several people who rely on Energy drinks/Boosters I even know a few who rely on  to get them through the day do to lack of energy as well as pain. Well for me any ...
