Swim lessons, baseball games, and birthday parties....

oh my! :-) So Jack started swim lessons last week with the same guy that taught Ryan how to swim 7 years ago. I was worried that Jack would have a hard time getting in the pool with a stranger but, much to my surprise, it was getting Jack OUT of the pool after the lesson that was the problem. Luckily there's licorice on hand! :-)And today we had a small "just the fam" duel bday bbq/pool party for Ryan & Jack. Adam, Jenn and the girls came along with Gammie, of course. It was a perfect day and the kids had a blast swimming and beating up the dinosaur pinata and then munching down on some yummy cupcakes! Ryan is totally into this new thing called Bakugan (sp?) so he got some of those along with some $ that will most definately burn a hole in his pocket before the end of the weekend. Jack's big obsession is Buzz Lightyear so he got a costume, a Buzz Lightyear action figure, and a bunch of other Buzz stuff along with a new Mr. Potato Head and a Baseball tee with bat and ball.

Before the party, Ryan had both a hockey game in which he scored the only goal for his team, and a baseball game where he struck out twice and then got two singles!
