Swimming Lessons and Rock Movin'

The kids have been taking swim lessons for a few weeks and they love it!

Matt makes this face a lot. The chlorine stings his eyes!!



Kent has been wanting to add some rocks to our landscaping for a long time, and finally, on friday we got some!
Thirteen big, beautiful boulders. Now all we had to do was move them.
Plan A: build clever rock moving cart.
"Stop taking pictures and help me heave this rock!"
Turns out Kent's and my brute strength combined was not enough. So, Plan B: I made a call to the rental place down the hill from us, and a few minutes later we had one of these handy machines.
It did not take long for Kent to get the hang of the controls of this thing. I guess it's not that different from an Xbox controller.
"More pictures!!"
Later that night, after all the rocks had been put in place, some friends came over for a BBQ. Anna loved thier 3 week old baby, Ryder -- he was so cute!
