Brasil Soccer Outfits!

My brother brought these soccer outfits back from Brasil for Eriksen and Brystal.  They love to wear them!

Swim Lessons! Again!

This was the last day of swim lessons for a few weeks.  Eriksen loved it.  I think Brystal was overwhelmed by the crowd and she really just wanted to play in the kiddie pool!

He's off!

We had gotten Eriksen a big bike for his birthday last year.  He wasn't too interested in it last year and we didn't push him learning through the winter.   Spring come and I thought it would be great to go for runs with Brystal in the jogger stroller and Eriksen riding his bike.  Well, we tried with training wheels on and he was so scared!  It was the worst! I think the training wheels scared him more than helped him.  In my frustrated, I took off the training wheels.  We went out a few times and practiced for a few minutes each time and on our 4th practice he got the hang of it.  Unfortunately, he has my riding skills and ran into a parked car on Saturday (19th).  It was a Jaguar!!  Poor kid, he's cursed! 

Preschool Graduation

Eriksen graduated from preschool.  It is hard to believe he will be starting kindergarten in just a few months.  Time really does fly!

More Swim Lessons

Here are a few more pictures from the kid's swim lesson.

Zoo Day!

For playgroup, we went to the zoo.  It was raining so I was worried it wouldn't be fun but turns out that the animals like the rain.  We even got to see the nocturnal red panda!

Women's Conference

I got invited to women's conference and thought it sounded like a good excuse to get away!  It was so nice.  I especially loved the cabin, Gina's parents let us stay at.  I would sit in front of the fire each night and morning reading my book.  I want to go back...
 

 Our home away from home.  I still miss it.

 The waterfall we hiked up to.  It was a nice hike.

 Yes, in another life we would be models!  Ha, ha, ha

Swim Lessons

We finally got around to signing the kids up for swim lessons.  Brystal loves the water and Eriksen was excited to take swim lessons again.  Eriksen loved his level 1 class.  He is doing so well with blowing bubbles out of his nose.  He gets very excited and some times has a hard time calming down for the teacher.  Brystal likes her class but isn't fond of going underwater yet.  We will have to keep working on that but she loves the water and has a hard time waiting till her class time.

 So excited for class to start

Zamzow Field Trip

We headed to Zamzow's for a field trip for preschool.  It was fun.  The kids got to see a few of the animals that they sale.  It was a nice and cheap field trip!
