swimming fun in waco

one of the best things about being in waco 

(besides being with family - of course!)

is getting to spend time with joy and her girls!

 we would come over after the last class of swimming

and have fun swimming with the kids

 they even pretend to have "class"

and teach one another how to swim :)

 i love that they enjoy playing together

and hope their friendship continues to grow throughout

their life!

 sweet kids!

 love them all!

Duncan's 3rd Birthday

I am super behind on blog posts.

we were out of town for swim lessons for two weeks

duncan's birthday was the first day we got to waco

so we celebrated - waco style!

duncan woke up to donuts and his presents

at chief and alice's house

 it was a fun treat for him to be in waco to celebrate!

he blew out his candles

 and then opened his presents

 almost all of his gifts included some type of sports gear

 i noticed while uploading the pictures that

i have very few of sweet barron

poor fourth child -

i am going to do better with this!

i have a ton of iPhone and instagram pics

but with the real camera - not so much!

 while we were in waco 

jayden was able to go to tennis camp -

for two weeks!

he LOVED it!

i was so proud of him,

because the youngest age was 6 (and he wasn't even 5 yet)

but they allowed him to go and said he did awesome!

here he is ready to go on the first day!
