My little swimmer

Luke and I couldn't be more proud of our little swimmer.  We had our first swim meet in Lufkin this past weekend and we didn't really know what to expect.  However,  Hannah got up on the starting block and won FIRST in her heat in backstroke and butterfly; and second in her heat in breast stroke and freestyle.  She WON 4th place in ALL four races out of the 16 girls in age group.  We were amazed!   I think we may have found something that she LOVES!

Hannah lost her second front tooth...so now we are officially ready to start 1st grade!  She has become such a big girl this summer!  I am enjoying her company, and the extra help and hands!  :)  I love her so much!

End of School, Rockport and Dance Recital

Hannah is officially out of school for almost 3 months. I have really been dreading having all 4 of us at home ALL summer (me, Hannah, Jake, and Ella). However, over the last two days, (hehe) Hannah has been extremely helpful and entertaining for the babies. She has chores that she must complete before we do something fun (Norma lly swimming at Citas). ALso, she is on swim team which means practice 4 days per week. I hope she likes it. I have called in some extra help too. Lupe will continue to come 15 hours per week to help around the house and keep babies to give mommy a break. Plus Taylor Brown will help me about 10 hours per week to keep Hannah somewhat entertained. Rockport We just got home from the coast for 6 days with the Pennington Family. We all had such a great week! The weather was perfect and we got lots of sun. We caught and few fish. Hannah caught her first black drum in the casating net. Daddy caught a 31in redfish. The babies absolutely loved everything about it this year...the beach, sand, water, pool, boat, condo. Dance Recital Hannah loved dancing in the recital. However, she didnt love dance class. Im not sure if we will continue with dance classes next year.

Jakie is walking

Jake started walking almost exactly 2 months after Ella. Now they are literally running EVERYWHERE! It takes all hands on deck....ALL the time! We are enjoying them so much. Hannah loves that they can walk now...they are a lot more fun!
