Happy 4th of July!

"It's America's Birthday!" That is what I woke up to being whispered in my ear by my cute Lukey Boy this morning. He was so excited to celebrate. Our ward does an annual kid parade where all the kids decorate their bike, scooter, wagon, etc. and then ride down a street in our neighborhood. The parade is followed by a short program and then breakfast. It is a fun tradition and Luke was super excited for it this year. We got his bike all ready yesterday and he loved riding in the parade!





So grateful for the country we live in and to those who sacrifice to protect it.
Happy Fourth of July!

Swimming Lessons

Luke just finished his first year of swimming lessons and he did great. At the beginning he was pretty afraid to put his face in the water but by the end he did it like a champ!

Doing his back float
His first lesson he wouldn't put his face in the water for more than a split second but at the end of class when his teacher asked if anyone wanted to go down the slide he jumped right up to go. When they turn the water on on the slide it shoots you about a foot under water at the end. So, he wouldn't put his face in the water but he had no problem getting shot under water after the slide!

He did great, we are so proud of him! Now to just keep practicing!
