Swimming Lessons!

Easton started swimming lessons last week, and does not LOVE them. Instead of blowing bubbles, he would prefer to cling to me like velcro. I can't pry his little hands off my neck long enough to attempt to float him on his back. BUT, I did dunk him under the water during our sing-along to "Ring around the rosey". He didn't seem to mind it because everyone was clapping when he came up for air. However, he still won't blow bubbles so we've got a ways to go! Here he is with his teacher, Ms. Kaitlyn. He is on the verge of a breakdown.

Sam's Graduation!

Last week we spent in Annapolis, MD, for Sam's graduation from the Naval Academy. It was a great time with the whole family and quite an experience to attend the formal graduation. Defence Secretary Rober Gates spoke, and he did a wonderful job. Here are some photos throughout the week. . .

Dinner Club

Well we had beautiful weather last weekend; perfect for dinner on the patio with the Baades, Halls, and Pittmans.

Really, really difficult to get four kids looking at the camera at once!

In the second photo it looks like Eloise is pointing, saying, "he did it!" And Easton looks really guilty for some reason!

Driving

Easton has really been into cars lately. He refuses to get out of the car. He climbs right over into the drivers seat and when I open that door to pull him out, he climbs to the passenger seat. And back and forth we go until one of us tires out. Dad is helping feed the hobby, with his new toy. Oh, and I just like this one shoe running photo. Cute!

Coloring

What started as a calm afternoon activity ended in a chaos of half eaten crayons (by Easton AND Mila).

TCU Easter Egg Hunt

Last Sunday we journeyed out to the TCU campus to partake in the annual Easter Egg Hunt. Easton had a grand time going after the eggs. He tried to cross the roped off area of eggs several times before the official start began. We had to hold him back. What a competitor! ha ha. He also posed with the Easter Bunny, whom he didn't like at first, but warmed up to. Super Frog was not a favorite. We'll keep working on him! Note, forgot basket, used hat, good solution dad!

Mexico

Haven't updated in a while and while these are not of Easton, they on our beautiful tropical vacation in Puerta Vallarta. We just got back last week, and it was a nice get-away for the parents :) You can also see our new yacht we purchased while down there . . . j/k!

Oh, and Jeremy caught a 50 lbs Roosterfish, which will be prominently displayed somewhere in our house (or garage) once we get it back from the taxidermist. Lovely!!
