Crazy couple of weeks.

I'm so behind in blogging... ah!
OK well lets see...
Kaylee had a great family party. I thought I put pictures up here but I guess they are on facebook so check them out there. Boy oh boy did we have a nasty storm the day before my brothers wedding. Whoo! Luckily his wedding day was beautiful! It was a wonderful wedding and we really enjoyed seeing all the family! No pictures ready to post yet, work in progress. The new Mrs. and Mr Koller are doing well. We got to hang out with them Friday night and Saturday.
Friday was a going away party for my cousin Crystal who thinks she needs to go back to Maine. Hopefully we will be seeing her again in a few months. Saturday we went to IN. for fireworks for this coming weekend. C.J. and Rachel went with us and we picked out quite a selection. If all goes well this will be the best year. Let's hope everyone keeps their limbs. We went back to South Haven for lunch and some swimming!! Jimmy's brother caught up with us and my parent's house and took a dip with the family.
Summer swimming update:
Emily likes to jump into the pool (we catch her) and has spent some time getting use to swimmies. Her arm's aren't quite long enough yet but next year for sure! I have a feeling she'll be swimming by herself in a few years time, she is very brave in the pool. Kaylee is once again loving swimming, relearning how to dive this year. She spends her time using a mask and preforming underwater stunts, hand stands, etc. Nathan is my big surprise this year. He has been very nervous in years past with the whole swimming thing. This year he will not where any floaties and has learned how to swim in two days He now swims with goggles under the water like a pro. I can't get him to stay above the water. He dives down to the bottom, twists around, tries handstands, jumps in the pool, swims under peoples legs. I worked with him on swimming under the water across the length of the pool. He now knows how to come to the surface to take a breath, go back under and swim some more even in places he can't touch. This was all in two days time. Last year I could hardly get him to stick his face in the water let alone talk him out of his floaties, now he will not put them on. Amazing what they can do once they're ready.
I'm still having some internet issues after our big storm. I'm hoping we'll figure out things soon so I can post some pictures. We had a big branch fall behind our house, scared me silly. I'm very thankful all our trees stayed up seeing how they are giants!
I'll be doing better posting in July I promise ;-)
This next weekend will be fun, 4th of July BBQ and big fireworks show!
