Eric's Grandmother turns 85

This past weekend we went to Eric's grandmother's 85th birthday party. Here are some great pictures from the festivities.

Swim Lessons Number 2 and 3

Here are some photos and videos from Loryn's 2nd and 3rd swim lessons. The first 2 pictures that I am in are from her 2nd lesson, and the rest are from her 3rd lesson with her daddy.

Another trip to the Aquarium

Today we took Loryn to the aquarium again. With our season passes, we have been trying to go every few weeks. Loryn has so much fun when she is there. Today she discovered the water slide. I think she went down it at least 25 times. And being the independent girl that she is, we couldn't help her do anything.

First Swim Lesson

Saturday we took Loryn for her first swim lesson. She had a lot of fun splashing in the water and jumping in and out of the pool. Loryn also put her head under water for the first time. We have to work on it with her though. She has to learn to close her mouth when going under the water and also on blowing bubbles. She spent quite a bit of time licking the water. They started and ended the class with songs in the pool. Loryn had so much fun. Also, when it is time for her to jump into the water we sing " Humpty Dumpty" and when Humpty takes a fall, she jumps into the water. Here are a few of the pictures from her first lesson.

In Mommy's Shoes

Right now, one of Loryn's favorite things to do is to play dress-up with Mommy's shoes. So here is a cute little video of Loryn walking around the house.

A trip to the Aquarium

This past Thursday I had a day off of work and decided to take Loryn to the Aquarium. So we stopped by my in-laws and loaded up the car with the kids and took off for a few hours of chaos to the Florida Aquarium. My sister-in-law Karen and I only stayed for maybe 2 hours as there were so many kids and people at the aquarium. Here are a few pictures of the kids having fun.
