My story...

Travis and I have been married since 1996. We have 4 beautiful children: Madelyn (1998), Jacob (2001), Bryson (2004), and Allyson (2007). I love being a mom and wouldn't change a thing (most of the time!).

Polar Bear Swim ;)

Polar Bear swim - isn't that what you call swimming in the winter? Well, it sure doesn't feel like winter around here this past week so I took the kids swimming on Sat. It helps that one of our community pools is heated. :)
Here is Bryson diving for an alligator diving stick. He has a hard time getting all the way down to the bottom (it was 3 1/2 feet), so he used the hand rails to push himself down.
Success!
Jacob was having fun jumping in over and over. I had to remind him a few times that you aren't allowed to dive. Here he is not quite diving and not quite jumping. I think "belly flop" is the more accurate term. ;)
Who says you can't walk on water? Jacob is pretty fast. Maybe he's as fast as Dash from the Incredibles!
Here Maddy is practicing her handstands.
Cannonball! Good thing you can't get splashed through the screen! ;)
We had a fun time in the pool, but probably won't be heading back for at least a little while. The forecast shows us going back into the 70s instead of our unusually warm 80s. It was a fun break from the norm though.
