Swimming

My older brother Ryan came from Utah for the weekend for Baby Ryan's blessing. Here are the Ryans meeting for the first time. I love how little Ryan just stared up at big Ryan. So cute.

As always when a Jameson family member comes to town it was time to party. We stayed up late, ate at El Rico's (a must every time they come cause there's no "real mexican food" in UT), the boys golfed & had game night, & because it was so blasted hot we had to go swimming. My younger brother Scott invited us over to swim at their house. It was so much fun. That was the only place I remembered to take pictures. It's hard to get swimming pics to turn out, so I only got a few & they didn't turn out great, but here they are.

 I was so proud of my boys for being brave enough to go down the slide & jump off the diving board.

 It always helps to have Stacy's kids there cause they'll try things first which makes my kids feel ok about trying them. I don't think they would've even gotten into the water if it wasn't for them. Here's Isaac getting ready to jump.

 Alex was hilarious. He was brave enough to climb up the ladder, but then was too scared to go down by himself so he just sat there & waited til some one came up & pushed him down. If no one noticed him up there he would start yelling for some one to come up & push him down.

 Then when he did go down he would hold onto the sides so tight it would stop him, but he kept wanting to do it. Goofy kid.

 The "big boys" had fun going down too which was very entertaining for the rest of us. They kept going down different ways & seeing if the others could do it. Later that night they were all feeling their age from their "tricks". 

 This was Baby Ryan's first trip to the pool & he did great. It was still pretty cool, so we just got him a little wet to keep him cool. Then he curled up & went to sleep. He was happy to hang out in the car seat.

 He sure looked cute in his swimming duds though. Love the chunk.
