Teaching the little one to swim!

So we decided to enroll Brandon in swimming lessons for the month of April. They have them 2 nights a week and they last for 4 weeks. The first couple times he wasn't quite sure what to think of them but now he is starting to get the hang of things. I tried to take some pictures but the camera didn't work so well inside the "pool house" as Brandon calls it. But here they are anyway.......I will try to get some better ones later this week and we will see how that goes.

I also took some video with my new camera I am in the process of figuring out how to download it to my computer and then after that I will need to figure out how to put it on here. But it is a really good video of Brandon swimming all by himself, with help from the lovely orange "funnoodle". One of the pictures is a still photo of the same thing but the video is much cooler. I think we might put him in lessons next month too. I am hoping that they can get him ready to swim in the ocean when we go to the beach in June. I might have to pick me up a "funnoodle" for him to take to the beach.

My cute boy in his new zoo hat!

I couldn't resist showing off my very favorite, cutiest boy in the whole wide world. Of course the hat doesn't hurt either. Being the wonderful mother that I am I forgot to bring sunscreen so I purchased him this way cute hat. Notice that it has a "Brandon Monkey" on it. You will find out later what those are. :)

Here is a picture of all of the kids that went to the zoo. (Don't let Jordan know that I called him a kid) He might not speak to me ever again. :)

A Day at the Zoo!

So we went to the zoo last weekend with a group of family. We decided it would be nice to get outside while the weather was nice. We spent a lot of time there and had a lot of fun. I asked Brandon what he saw at the zoo and he said "Brandon Monkeys". I asked him what they looked like and he said "I was the one hanging from the ropes." He says the funniest things sometimes. So here is a picture of the "Brandon Monkey"..........

I would watch out for them they can destroy your house in 3.22 seconds! I am sure all of you mothers out there have little "Monkeys" of your own and completely understand what I am talking about.

We also got to see "Old Grandma's" favorite animal ever. For those of you who don't know what that is.....Elephants. By the way "Old Grandma" is my grandma. Not the nicest of names we know but she doesn't mind, she actually enjoys it. So here is some pictures of her favorites.

And how can we forget my favorite....the gorillas. I was kind of mad because they are doing construction to that part of the zoo so you could only see one side of the exhibit so all I was able to get a picture of was a butt shot and I mean Butt Shot. See!

The Boy Loves Snakes!

We were in the reptile house at the zoo and Brandon wanted me to take pictures of all of the snakes and lizards. He is definetly his mothers child, when I was little I begged my mom to let me have a snake and she just wouldn't let me. But I was able to convience her to let me keep a lizard that I caught during one camping trip up at Wasatch. My neighbors down the street had an Iguana and I thought that was way cool! Anyway, here are the pictures of the boy and his favorite snakes.

More Pictures Of Zoo.......

Bubbles! Bubbles! Bubbles!

So this is the first day that I had my camera. We also decided to buy some bubbles and a big bubble wand. Brandon loved the thing. I don't know what it is about bubbles but they sure are fun to be around. They put a smile on your face! I know they do on Brandon's. I was so excited about the way my camera captured the bubbles I have been showing them to everyone since I have had them.

Watch Out!

So I was able to purchase a new camera this last weekend and I have since then been going crazy taking tonz of pictures so sometime this weekend I am going to put lots of posts on here so get ready to read all sorts of fun facts about us....coming soon!
