And Babies Make...5

I absolutely LOVE monsoon season!  It is my favorite time of year...back in the 90's and early 2000's the storms used to be insanely crazy!  Trees up-rooted everywhere, raining for hours, lighting and thunder so loud you were determined it hit your house and running for cover in your bathroom, I mean just awesome!! Now a days they can be kind of lame... However, it's been super humid the past few days and very much so today.  So, before dinner the boys and I were outside and the dark clouds were a coming and sure enough we got a decent Monsoon Storm!!  Proof storms make ya' kind of crazy :o)    Here's the view from our backyard...   After I took these pictures, it just got darker and darker and the rain just poured and then we had a great lightening show!  Love it!!

The boys started swimming lessons and after a few tears and some hesitation the first night, they have done awesome and love going!!  Mr. Eric is their teacher and they have so much fun :o) I am so proud of Tyson, he is kid who is afraid of the water...he'll play in it on the 2nd step but wouldn't dunk his whole head under water or jump in anymore to us.  So he was our kiddo who shed the tears, but after this sweat girl who was a lifeguard/swim instructor came over and grabbed him firmly, but gentle and sweetly, he relaxed and had a blast!!  He now dunks himself all the way in and will attempt to actually try and swim! Lincoln is our little fish, he loves the water and will swim for hours if you let him.  The Sunday before lessons started he actually was attempting to swim by himself and did it!  We were all so excited for him and he thought he was just the coolest thing :o) Here are some pictures...
