SWIMMING LESSONS

After a near drowing incident with Quinton, swimming lessons was a MUST. He really enjoyed his teacher and other kids in his class. He learned a few swimming techniques but is still in need of more. The last couple of days of lessons he was able to jump off of the diving board. I asked him if he liked it and he replied, "Yes, but it was scary." We decided to put him in again and he will be starting another class in a few weeks. He is excited to learn more and one day be able to swim without "hugging" the side of the pool or wear a lifejacket.

UTAH TRIP

We were finally able to make it back to Utah for a week or so. We started off by spending a couple days at the sand dunes with Megan's family and then on to Heber to spend time with Mikes parents. We had a great time and enjoyed being able to spend time with them. We went to Farm Country at Thanksgving Point and were able to see and pet some of the animals there. The kids also got to ride on a pony, in which we found out that Quinton has an allergy too:( We also got to see Mikes grandparents and mine as well. My Grandpa had an unfortunate accident last May in which he broke his back in three places and fractured his skull in two places. He has made an incredible recovery, but still has a long way to go. It was so nice to be able to see him face to face and spend a little bit a time with him and my grandma. During the recovery process, there home had a little bit of remodeling done so as accomodate my grandpa when he came home. The house looked gourgeous and I am grateful that it could be done. Later on in the week we headed back to Megan's parent home so we could attend the highschool graduation of my youngest brother Zach. He is growing into such an incredible young man and I am grateful he is my little brother. He is now in preperation of recieving a mission call as well as starting college in the fall. Then came the time for us to make the LONG drive home. We made it safely and are so very glad that we had the chance to go "home." We miss not being able to see eveyone, except on skype, and look forward to seeing them again soon.

KINDERGARTEN GRADUATION :)

Quinton is now officially graduated from Kindergarten!! We went to his graduation ceremony this morning, where he was able to walk across the stage and recieve "a blank piece of rolled up paper" which looked as if it were the real diploma. Afterwards we went back to his classroom where he recieved his actual diploma and a few other things to continue his reading and writing during the summer. We are so proud of Quinton and his accomplishment of completing Kindergarten. He has learned so much and is always amazing us with his talents and smarts! He had a wonderful teacher and we hope that in the years to come he continues to have great teachers and rewarding experiences. CONGRATS DUDE:)
