Swimming in Cedar Falls

The girls have been loving the pool this year. We got a pass to the New Hampton pool and they go everyday that they can find someone to take them. For something different I took them swimming at the Aquatic Center in Cedar Falls on Tuesday. They had a ton of fun. Tierney is getting to be a good little swimmer and Tay can't get enough of the diving boards.

Father's Day with Grandpa Lewie

We celebrated a late Father's Day with Grandpa Lewie last weekend. We didn't get many pictures taken. I love the goofy one with grandpa and the kids.

Fair

Hailey and Tierney

Look for this one as a Christmas Card. Hailey, Papa, Tay, Nana, Nate, Tierney.

Tay had to ride alone on the tilt a whirl... the rest of us thought we'd get sick if we rode.

The girls and I went to the fair last week with Nate, Hailey, Nana, and Papa. The girls had a blast especially Tierney and Hailey. They had to do the bouncy house twice. Tay even got to play bingo with Nana.

Here are some pictures from Father's Day with Papa. We had plans to go fishing at their pond but it ended up raining so we ended up just grilling and hanging out inside.

Tierney Ball

Here are some pictures of Tierney playing ball. She loves ball but was upset that they didn't "verse anyone besides New Hampton". There were close to sixty kids out for ball in her age group so they divided up and played each other. Lately she is very concerned about learning how to pitch. We are trying to explain that the girls don't pitch until third grade but she doesn't care because Tay's team pitches so she thinks she needs to know how!

Busy

We have been so busy the past few weeks I haven't had time to get anything posted. Both of the girls had ball and swim lessons. We have also been busy just running. We were going to go to the water park today but my sensible husband decided we should stay home and hang out and grill tonight. I already bought the water park tickets so we will plan to do that in a couple of weeks. I will start working on getting everything posted so you can see what the girls have been up to.

I do have to share a couple of funny things Tierney has said. She is very competitive and wants to do everything Taylor does. Well after one of her games she informed us that she kept blocking the base so people couldn't go to it. We tried to explain that you don't block bases but I don't think she cares. Then she finished swim lessons on Monday and came out with her sheet and informed me that she failed. She was about crying and I asked her why she thought she failed. "Because of all the x's". I had to explain that those are good and all of hers were marked because she passed each of those areas. I'm not sure she believed me until I read the nice note her teacher wrote about her doing so well in the water.
