Janie turns one!

We just celebrated Janie's first birthday! Where has the time gone........Janie is such a happy, joyful little person. She can put a smile on anyone's face at anytime with her happy personality. We had a great party for her with a lot of great friends and family here. She of course loved her cake, so much that she went straight for a dip in the little pool to clean it all off of her.

Gracie takes swim lessons everyday just about 1 mile away at the Fircrest pool. She is doing great this summer and really enjoys it. I can hardly keep Janie, and Carter out of the pool while she is in her lessons. It will be nice next summer........Carter will be tall enough to take lessons the same time Gracie is in lessons. The Fircrest pool is known for great swim lessons, so great that the lines to sign up start an hour or so early, the non-residents will line up up to two hours early and pay quite a bit more. We are so fortunate to live in the best community!

I am having a hard time figuring this whole blog thing out so bare with me if my blog is a little lame at the moment.

The kids and Eric and I, mostly (Eric and I) at the moment are fighting a nasty cold. As a result my body is in lazy mode, which I hate it with this beautiful weather.

A typical day the kids and I head out after naps only coming back in for dinner. We then go back out for our evening walk/visit to the neighborhood park(s)! We are blessed to live in such a great area with wonderful places to walk to that are so close to our home.
