Little Fishy

We have a new swimmer in the family. Olivia and I started mommy and me classes last week and she is doing great! She was a little hesitant the first few minutes but then she really enjoyed it. My mom came with me and took a video that I am hoping to get some pictures from. Last week we went together and she was ready to go. We did an activity where we had to practice paddling and then do a football hold and have her practice. She was like a fish! She put her face in and kicked those legs like she was on a mission. I guess that is what happens when you have 2 parents that were swimmers. Olivia is getting to be a pro at getting out of the pool and jumping in to me. I can't wait for her to get into the pool this summer. We received our pool tags for the neighborhood pool so once it gets a little warmer we will be taking family trips to the pool as well as going to the grandparents houses to swim.

I want to wish all the mom's a happy mothers day! I feel so blessed to have a great mom who has always been there for not only me but Chris and Olivia as well. I hope that I can be as wonderful as my mom has been. Olivia has brought so much joy and happiness to my life and I feel so lucky to have been blessed with her. God truely gave us a miricle when we found out I was pregnant. She makes us smile everyday and always bring joy to our lives.

Here is a picture of us from last year. I found these on our little camera when I was downloading the 400 pictures we had on there. Yes, I am very bad about not taking them off the camera! I am trying to be better about that.

Happy Mother's day to those who are mothers and those who are soon to be moms. It has been the most rewarding experience I have ever had! I can't imagine my life without Olivia! Chris and Olivia have made these past 2 mother's days the best ever!

TNT they are dynomite!

Today Tommy and Taryn competed in the CB&I triathlon in The Woodlands. They had to swim in the lake, ride a bike, and then run. They both did a great job and Tommy won second place in his age group and I am pretty sure Taryn placed as well I just do not remember. Needless to say they both did wonderful and we were excited to cheer them on. My dad sponsered them and we all had matching shirts as seen in the picture. Taryn's dad and brother are on the left and my dad's secretary, Paulette and her husband are on the right. Olivia was there clapping and cheering everyone on. We are very proud of our TNT!!! Way to go guys!

Our trip to the Zoo

Last Saturday we decided to take another try at going to the zoo. Since our last trip did not go the way we planned(we tried going the first day of Spring Break.) Chris and I decided when Olivia woke up from her second nap we would just go and see what happened. We made it smoothly and had a great time. Olivia loved the giraffe's! I took her to see the elephants across the way and she turned to look back at the giraffe's again. It was very cute! Here is a picture we had someone take of us. We all had a great time and it was the perfect weather as well. Olivia was able to see her brick that Auntie Em bought her but we did not get another picture due to people being pushy.
