Memorial Day Weekend

No, our new camera hasn't arrived yet, but Troy's sister Molly and her husband Brad came to visit us over Memorial weekend and Brad used his super nice camera. So these are some shots from him.

Saguaro National Park


Kayla swimming in a pond near our home. There is actually water in Tucson.


Molly and Erica swimming in our pool.


Erica loves to swim! She is taking swim lessons right now. It actually consists of me getting in the pool with her and hanging out, but it's still fun.

Did you see all of the Saguaro's blooming? I love it when cacti have flowers on them.

Looks like fun!

I love the pic of Erica in the pool! Its smart that you are teaching her swimming now. When I taught swim lessons at the YMCA we had kids even younger than her.
The best thing to do is get them comfortable in the water, have her put her face in it and blow bubbles if she can. This will help her learn to breathe underwater when she gets older. Then you can hold her while she floats on her back and practice kicking movements with her. At first you will probably have to move her legs for her, but once she gets a feel for it, she can start to do it on her own. This is beneficial for both floating and doing the backstroke later on, if she's to follow in her Aunt Natalee's footsteps. :)
