{ Swimming Lessons }

Here is a clip of Jett at swimming lessons with Coach Tucker...this was towards the end of the lesson and was the second to last lesson for the week.

Jett went last year and was terrified. He pretty much yelled during all the lessons. This year it was better. He even likes Coach Tucker this year and said he was the best coach ever! He was not as terrified as last year, but still lacked the confidence. He has to learn to not be so up-tight when it comes to swimming. I have NO idea where he gets that character trait from....uh...hmmmm....I think we all know where that comes from...haha. In this clip, he was doing better at swimming under water.

We are hoping to take him back this May or June.

{ Found It! }

Got the background I was looking for.

{ Looking For A New Background }

Don't get me wrong...I like this background, but there's one I really love but it's too busy in the wrong places...so I am looking for a subsitute for that. So, in the meantime...this one will be up until I can find "the" right one. :)

{ Friends & Family Day }

Please come to Friends & Family Day at Forrest Park church of Christ as I am sure it will be a wonderful day that will benefit you and your family.



Let me know if you plan on coming. We would love to see you there!

{ Recommendations }

I thought I would recommend some educational TV shows and a couple of websites for the toddler and pre-school age children.

Word World is a great show for children to learn how to read and recognize words. It comes on public television each week day during the morning hours. If you have DVR, you may want to record some.

Sid The Science Kid is another cute show that teaches children about science related topics, but it's more for the pre-school age and up crowd. This also comes on public television. I think it comes on each day during the weekday in the mornings and maybe the afternoon (not sure about the afternoon).

Special Agent OSO is a new show on Disney. It's about a bear who is a special agent. He has to go on missions and follow "three special steps". It's very repetitive in it's teaching so it is great for the younger kiddos. However, Jett still likes it because of the gadgets OSO uses.

http://www.dltk-teach.com/ is a good site for printing out crafts, books, etc... It has ABC's shapes, colors, Bible activities, printable books (even ones you can personalize). I made Jett a book about him and he loves to read it. He loves that it is about him.

Fisher price also has a great site for younger children to teach the basics. http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=10&e=gamesLanding&mcat=game_infant,game_toddler,game_preschool&site=us

Let me know how you like the recommendations!

{ Bible Study }

Below is a great Bible study for those interested. If you have an open heart and an open Bible...you will enjoy this study.

{ Without Training Wheels }

We finally live in a place where bike riding is possible so when Jett got a new bike for his birthday (he had outgrown his other one)....it was time to get rid of the training wheels. Here is his first day without the training wheels. You have got to love the way he stops and sticks the landing! You'll understand what I am talking about after you watch it!
