Jake's Swimming Lessons Part 1

We put Jake in swimming lessons this past week and after the first day, we were a little worried that Jake would never learn to swim. He was screaming and crying and holding onto us for dear life! But by the next day and a purchase of some goggles, he was trying hard to swim by himself:)

Father's Day 2011

My dad was in town for work so we were able to see him for father's day! Unfortunately Scott had to work, so we didn't get to see him:( (Oh and please don't look at the boxes in the background, I'm sick of unpacking!)

We headed to Oceanside to hang out with my dad's side of the family

Our Beach Trip

We stayed a few nights with Scott's grandparents in Palos Verdes and our good friends Kyle, Mandy and little Emma joined us.

This is great grandma Marion with the kiddos:)

Then we headed to Santa Monica for the day. It was FREEZING and we were a little under dressed!

Starting Veggies

I started veggies in hopes that Leah would sleep better...hasn't happened yet:(

But they are a hit! She loves them:)

Jakey loving every minute of it!

The entrance to the cave was really small and my claustrophobia started to set in and I almost didn't go!
