Swim lessons, 2013

Dylan's first swimming lessons. He LOVED it, the first couple of days, and then the last 3 days, it was hard to keep him in the water, I think because they kept changing his teacher.

Ethan loved it too, still has to warm up the first couple of days before he dares to go under, and he didn't like putting his ears in the water.

Colby has become a good swimmer, he can swim the width of this side of the pool. He loves it.

Stitches

Ethan fell off of his bike, and ended up needing stitches. He was so brave, and loved that the stitches were blue (his favorite color).

Colby-isms

"If you don't like pasta take a deep breath, then take another deep breath, then you will like it."

We were dancing in the kitchen and Colby asks "Mom, may I have this dance?"

"You have got to be kidding me."

Colby was playing a video game when he starts asking me for my help, I tell him to try to do it himself and he says "Come on mom your my girlfriend."

"It's serious."

"You have got to check this out."

Daddy: Colby will you hold these papers for me?
Colby: Sure, im great at holding things.

The other day we were walking through the store and we past by some flowers, and Colby stops to smell them and then pretends to sneeze.

While we were bowling I was kneeling by Ethan and Colby walked up to us and said "It's okay mom, you'll do better next time, it just takes practice".

Colby is reading a valentine card, and he comes to me and says, " Mom this doesnt make sense, it says be my knee." (Be Mine) 3-4-11

"I want to be a fireman so I can go through red lights." (7-11)

We were at the movie theater and a commercial for jeans came on, some of the jeans were the really torn up look, and Colby says, "She needs to go buy some new jeans". (8 - 11)

Ethan chit chat

"Colby, lets not tell Jeff that he doesn't have a truck."
(3 yrs)
After eating and having food all over his face I tell him its time to wash, and he says "But I did mommy."
(3 yrs)
A fire truck parked in front of our house and Ethan said "Where's the woo woos?" (sirens)
(3 yrs)
"I'm going to speak in Spanish, (starts speaking jibberish words)"
(4 yrs)
A lot of his sentences lately start with "When I was 3........".
(4 yrs)

We watched The Tales of Despereaux a few days ago, and since then Ethan will randomly start talking in an English accent. (6/11)

Words to Live By

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us...If we will put our trust in Him, if we pray to Him, if we live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers." --Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley
