Our New Addition

Our new puppy, Luigi!  Boys love Super Mario Brothers (Mario and Luigi).

We promised the boys that when Brady was 3 we could get a dog.  They are both so exicted! I thought Cal was not going to be able to wait the week count down to go get him. We had to drive about an hour and a half to get him.  My favorite moment was on the way home when I looked back in the back seat to see Matt asleep holding a sleeping Luigi.  Cal asleep on one side and Brady asleep on the other.  Had it not been storming, I would have pulled over for a photo opp.  Here are the boys meeting him for the first time.

All the men in my life

One HAPPY DADDY.  Matt's mom asked who was more excited the boys or Matt??? Let's just say Daddy was so happy to have the puppy the day before Father's Day.

Doesn't really like being out in the hot sun.  Also playing makes him really sleepy!  A 5yo and 3yo wear this little puppy right out.  So far he is doing pretty well on the puppy front.  Went to our first vet visit yesterday.

This is why my 3 year old needs swim lessons

Brady the Fearless!  We were in desperate need of swim lessons for this little guy!  He believes he can swim.  He was so excited that he was taking swim lessons this year just like Cal.  Brady's class was actually right after Cal's, but I am going to start with Brady because he just kills me!  He was the only child in his class that would jump off the diving board without holding onto the teacher's hand.  Both boys did great this year.  Brady worked on swimming under and using his arms to pull the water and swimming to the side of the wall to hold on and swimming to the steps.  Cal worked on his legs and kicking faster, the different swim strokes and a little diving.  Matt was able to take the boys this morning since he was off work.

Mrs. Karen then taught them to turn back around and swim to the side and pull themselves out
