Swim Lessons :)

For those of you that don't know, I nanny part time. Owen just turned 5, and Katie is 7.


Both kids just began swim lessons. Katie already knows how to swim, she just needs to practice. Owen, on the other hand, does not know how but he is learning SO quickly! And it's so much fun to watch :) The first day we went I took him into the girls locker room to change, which apparantly his mom does not do, and I now realize why (I'd never been in the Aquatic Center locker rooms). People just strip down and there's private parts everywhere! Sooo after Owen's uneasy looks, I took him to the family locker room and had him change in there alone. Poor guy, haha. This is the result of swim lessons:

He can now float on his back...by himself...
He's making new friends...

and he's kicking... SO CLOSE to putting his face in, too.

He's a good sport! A little uneasy at first, but once he got in, he loved it :) Katie I don't have any pictures of swimming because her lessons are after I leave, but we did go ice skating the other day and she was rockin on the ice. After a few laps around she let go of the walker for a lap. Did great. :)

Lovin Life :)

Wish I could upload pictures, but I'm not home today on my own computer... There is SO much going on in life! I have lots of visiting happening soon.. cousins coming from California, "sister" coming from Port Orchard, and I'm headed down there... very excited to be on the road again! Last time I drove down south to visit for more than a day was last May and I miss it too much!! Hopefully I will be able to stop and see the Oman's too :)

Anywho, the apartment is all set up, I will post pictures soon. Christmas in my own place for the first time was fantastic, we had a blast. Everything is my own and I love it! Being a grown up is fun... for the most part :)
