Will Weekend

This past weekend, was the annual Will getaway. Fun times were had by all. It was a nice weekend with eating, sledding, eating, relaxing, eating, visiting, and celebrating birthdays and an anniversary. As always, it went by way too fast and left us all exhausted. Here are some pictures of the fun times.

These two had to keep going together. You can just hear their giggles by looking at this picture.

The Real Swimming Lessons

Keltie had her second session of swimming lessons on Tuesday night. Wow, she has come so far. She didn't even have any tears when they started, but got right in the pool and was ready to go. They had to float on their back and she just flipped right on it and went. The assistant that was there with her the last sessions, was there again on Tuesday and she couldn't believe what Keltie was doing. Then she had to switch from her back to her stomach and again this wasn't any problem for her. They had to chase a beach ball while doing the doggie paddle and then hit it with their noses. Keltie did even realize that she had made it halfway across the pool chasing the ball. We are so proud of her. I had to tell her teacher about the swimming lessons that took place in our house the other night and she thought that was hilarious.

The warm up begins.
Getting a reminder to look up when floating on her back.
Look how far away she is from the edge of the pool. She keeps getting deeper and deeper.

Snow Fort

Once again this year, Kevin helped the girls build a snow fort. Here's the final result.



Ready for Summer

This pictures say it all, we are ready for summer.


Swimming Lessons

Last Tuesday, Keltie started her second session of swimming lessons. I am happy to report, that this started off MUCH better than the last session. She was close to tears at the beginning, but her teacher just grabbed her hand and off she went with her. Needless to say, there were no more opportunities for tears.

Fast forward to this weekend. I just love listening to my girls play together. They have such huge imaginations and usually have a lot of fun playing together. Saturday morning, they both decided that they wanted to be in just their underwear. Well, pretty soon they are pretending that they are at swimming lessons. Keltie is of course the teacher and Kinsley is the student. It was so much fun to watch them.

Love These Girls


Gymnastics

Keltie has been very into gymnastics lately. Needless to say, she is pretty cute to watch. I have thought about trying to sign her up for gymnastics lessons, but am thinking that maybe she can do them this summer. Here are the two girls showing off their moves. Be looking for them in the future Olympic games.




Can you tell what was for snack?

Any guesses?! Yes, it was chocolate pudding. She's so funny when she eats this because she has a brownish birthmark on her neck and one night she was in the bathroom scrubbing on her neck. We asked her what she was doing and she said that she had pudding there yet.

Cheap Entertainment

I feel like a broken record when I say this, but our house was once again hit with the sick bug. Thankfully, I am happy to say, (KNOCK ON WOOD) that we are better again. Well, during this time when we are home, we have to find things to entertain ourselves. Here was Kinsley the other night riding on a yardstick pretending it was a horse. (I know you can't have the full effect because you can't hear her saying, "Giddy up, up, up, up."

Monkey Girl

The other morning Keltie went to get ready to go to the sitter's and she put her monkey hat on. She was in a silly mood and kept pulling it down over her face. Finally she goes, "I'm going to go look at myself in the mirror." Needless to say, she go to the mirror and of course couldn't see anything. I had to take a picture so that she could see how silly she actually looked.
