A Few Little Updates

Baby Addie is just too cute, and my kids are just enamored with her. We're loving that she's so close now, so that we can spend time with her.

We've gotten in a lot of swimming this summer, thanks to an elderly couple in our ward, who have opened their swimming pool to us. It has been great, and the boys have really improved in their swimming.

Jalen Andrew has become quite the daredevil in the pool. He'll jump in to us, and will even jump into a floating tube, he likes submerging himself in the water and staying under as long as he can, and will even do a little jump/swim to us from the steps.

************ Jalen Andrew got invited to his first birthday party. It was a My Little Pony Party for his good friend Elizabeth, who specifically requested his presence.

He gave Elizabeth a little tea set, with some cookies and juice. He was so cute about the juice; he carried it all around the store, and would not let me put it in the cart, because he was going to give it to Elizabeth. Evidently she has the same infatuation with him, because her mom told me the other day, that she won't play with the tea set or partake of the contents, because she keeps insisting that it's for her and Jalen Andrew.

Before the party, I kept asking him if he was going to ride a little pony, and he corrected me every time, saying that he was going to ride a Big Horse. *************** Other items of interest: Rebekah was just put in as the new Beehive Class President, which she is very excited about. ************** Also, Christine played a piano solo in church the other day. She did a medley of Because I Have Been Given Much and Lord, I Would Follow Thee. She was very nervous, but she did a great job!
