all we do is swim and watch the olympics

the kids started their two week session of swim lessons last week

and per tradition, i take them to the neighborhood pool after their lesson almost every day

eleanor is doing a million times better than she did last year

yay!

letting her teacher dunk her, doing everything she is asked

we went and saw the angel moroni that was recently put on the meridian temple

ready for more swim lessons

we had the neighborhood pool to ourselves for most of the time we were there one day

playing on the park

olive got to go try out a gymnastics class to see if it was a fit

and michael said it was like she's been waiting her whole life to do it

she is a natural

she's pretty sure she can just drive herself there, too

pregnant with pinkie pie

we snuck away for a double date to the new jason bourne movie

the hunts met us at the pool a few times last week

and i loved seeing our 10 kids huddled around the little pool

relaxing

teaming up on their dad after he got home from work

when i get overwhelmed i clean out the linen closet

one of the reasons i've been overwhelmed...broken dishwasher for like 3-4 weeks

it's been terrible

but it's maybe hopefully fixed now

making us dinner

morning cartoons

this is how eleanor got ready for swimming lessons one morning

she said she wanted to twirl first

 one day last week we went to the splash pad instead of the pool

 we found a dresser off craigslist and noah helped carry it down a flight of stairs 

all the way to the van

such a strong 10 year old
