Swimming and Shoes


So, we had the beginnings of some summer heat this past week with the temps getting in the 90's! Woohoo! Well, I'm bracing myself for the REAL heat in a couple of months when it's over 110 and I start melting like a Popsicle. Although, the past few summers I've been learning how to really love the crazy Arizona heat - swimming! We recently tested out Taya's pool at the Jones Family Resort and Spa (book now... they're filling up fast!!). This was Becca's first time swimming! Last summer she was so tiny and honestly, I just didn't want to bother getting her in a swimsuit and all lathered up with sunblock and such, especially when she was so content to sleep in shade. :) But, now she's the big ONE and the time had come. She really loved it! She kicked her little feet and giggled and pulled some concerned but amused faces whenever the older kids jumped in the pool and made a big splash. And both the girls looked cute in their new matching swimsuits - thanks Grandma Dangerfield!

And a shout out goes to Jodi for spending all morning (and into the afternoon) teaching me how to make her famous baby booties. I love the way they turned out! Becca wore them all day today - I love that they never fall off! You're so awesome Jodi!

  4. Your weather looks great. Maybe by the time you come in May it will be swimming pool weather here too. April is so goofy. One day it's beautiful and the next day it may snow or rain again. Ugh.
    Those shoes are perfect for little feet. It's amazing how hard it is to keep shoes on little kids. They have a way of either falling off or just being pulled off.

  5. Those shoes are perfect. I love the fabric...who picked that out? The swimming pictures make me crave the sun. It is so crazy that you are down there swimming and we in Utah are just getting to go outside in jackets.
