Swim Lessons!!

We get to check one more thing off our summer activity list!! I mentioned before that when I asked him what he would like to do this summer, he rattled off a mile long list. Well...I think we narrowed it down to four and we finished up with the second! He has been enjoying swimming and got a little dissappointed when I told him he only had 2 sessions left! Soon to follow was lots of attitude demanding that he does more swimming!I would really like for him to learn how to swim, I hate water myself so to have him know how to swim would give me a sense of security, I guess! The first few classes he was not too keen on going under the water but soon got the courage up but had to plug his nose and then he got even more brave and started doing it without and can now blow bubbles out of his nose when he goes under. More than I can do!! He has been doing a great job!! It is so fun to watch him grow and do new things and become this cute little boy taking on life. Oh to be a kid again!!!

Playing Red Light Green Light!! Those are some hot goggles, I know!! We finally got the dang things to stay on and not bend his ears down! It only took two summers! I need goggle placement 101!!

He was so excited because he was doing so well on the kick board! He's getting it!!

I had to post this little Diva!! She had to wear her sun glasses, it was pretty sunny inside!! She makes me laugh and everyone had to comment! She walked around like...What are you looking at, is something wrong??

Callisters said...: Looks like lots of fun! I know how you feel about the whole plugging your noes thing. If I swim straight under the water I don't need to plug my nose, but if I jump in, dive under or anything else the nose is plugged. I often look at my boys and wonder how they do it and I just can't catch on. Hey if I blow bubbles somehow the water goes into my noes. So you go learn how to work with goggles and I will learn how to breath good under the water. Maybe after we do the two we can too be pros!; July 5, 2008 at 1:14 AM
Jamie said...: Way to go Jaden! I love the sassy Halli photo-Her and Abby would be a deadly duo!; July 6, 2008 at 3:28 PM

MILLER MOMENTS

Jaden Moments
{Jaden has been losing teeth but today he lost his first top tooth, I guess we are entering those awkward years! He still looks cute but talks with a little lisp!! 5/16/09}
{"I'm hot, not what girls think, my body's hot!" Oh the funny things kids say!! 4/09}
{I recieved an email from Jaden's teacher the other day that said he had led the class in a sing along to "So what" by Pink! She also let me know that he often sings while doing his work, yes it is a distraction, but I guess there are worse things!}
{Today Jaden and I were sitting on the couch and he saw an ultrasound on the TV and says, "Mom, how do babies get in your belly?" My response....UHMMMM!! Great how do I answer this one. When mommies want a baby Heavenly Father hears you and puts it in mommies tummy. He says he wants another baby, but this time a brother. My response to that one...that's nice but I think mom and dad have it figured out now!! No more babies for a long time!! 8/1/08}
{We were all laying in bed one morning and I commented that Ragen felt hot and Jaden says, "Yeah, behind her legs are hot but not the straights!" Guess that meant the front of her legs!}
{5/27/08-Today we planted flowers to spruce up our yard and Jaden told his dad, now we have flowers we are "rich". Cool...I didn't know that's all it took!}
{"Red Alert, Red Alert, Halli we have to get out of here!" This is what I heard coming from the bathroom as water was running over the toilet. Jaden had taken it upon himself to unplug the toilet! He was very concerned, he thought he had ruined our house! It was kinda funny!}

Halli Moments
{Rarely has clothes on, loves to be naked or in her fancy nancy get up! 6/09}
{Is scared of "hello-vators"! Term for elevator}
{"My name is Halli, I like to dance!" I catch her saying this quite often!! Funny! 5/09}
{Halli has been asking me to call her "Daisy" and then the next day it was "Hope"! Where is this coming from! 5/09}
{Funny words Halli says- "so...", "actually"!!}
{Halli is really into singing "Livin' on a Prayer", it's hilarious and when you asks her who sings it she says, "Bon Jovi." 2/09}
{I took the kids to McDonald's the other day and Halli wanted to know what the toy was so I told her it was "Littlest Pet Shop." When we pulled up and got the Happy Meals she said, "mom, can I have my Littlest Ketchup!" Pet Shop/Ketchup, close enough! 3/09}
{Halli told me she wanted to use Jaden's "swish swash" Mouth wash! 2/20/09}
{I had put Jaden and Halli to bed when a few minutes later I could here someone scooting down the stairs on their bum, so I went to take a peek and there was Halli. I took her back to her bed as she was telling me that her owie on her leg hurt (really there was no owie) so I kissed her leg and she looked at me and put her arms in the air and said, "I can't believe you guys not in bed!" She says some of the funniest things. Good thing she makes me laugh once in awhile because she sure is up to no good lately!! 2/16/09}
{"Lugs and Kwisses!" Halli's version of hugs and kisses!}
{"Nice going!"}
{"I peacing out!" The phrase "Peace Out" is used at our house regularly and one night when Halli got done eating this is what she said as she got of her chair! 11/08}
{We have been potty training and she is so excited when she poops...so the other day she pooped then she says, "AWESOME! Lets count them!"...huh!! At least she likes to count! 10/08}
{She told me she had Dia-rhita!! 10/08}
{I was picking up crumbs and she says, "It's just me making messes!" 10/08}
{I asked Halli if she wanted a drink out of my snazy pink water bottle and she said, "That's cool!"10/08}
{Halli's new word..."Holy Crap!" 8/8/08}
{I was sitting at the computer today and Halli didn't know I was listening to her and I hear her say, "Hi Hannah, how are you!" Hannah is one of her friends. It was so cute because she was just talking to herself! 7/21/08}
{Halli woke up Sunday morning with a swollen finger with blisters so we took her to the doc. to find out she had an infection. Today I was changing her bandage and when I finished she said, "Thank you mommy!" "Great job!" How cute!! 6/7/08}
{I'm never too sure if Halli eats the food I give her so I have started asking her where her food is and she opens her mouth and then says "buggy" and points to her belly!!}
{When Halli burps or tooters, she blames it on someone else. She says, "Jaden did it" or who ever sounds good. Makes me laugh!}
{5/08-When I ask Halli if she is a big girl or a baby...her reply is "CUTE!"}
{5/25/08-We had just got home from church and Justin was getting Halli out of her car seat and he said, "Halli why did you take your shoes off?" Her reply-"Tause!"}
{When I ask Halli what Daddy's name is she says daddy Milner! Close enough!}
{Halli loves her pretties! Pretties include: lip stick, necklaces, hair accessories, anything she thinks makes her look pretty!}
{"K!" Halli answers with K everytime you ask her to do something or tell her something! It is so cute! Sure beats "NO!"}
