Emily's Coming Out Party

Just a few friends came by to celebrate the night before Emily's arrival and Hayden's last night as an only child.

Swim Lesson June 2009

HAYDEN'S 2ND YEAR OF SWIM LESSONS
~DAY 1 at Jan Thomas Swim School~

He started out crying and ended the lesson crying, even with mommy out of sight.
Hopefully the next lesson will go better. If it's anything like last year's swim lesson, he'll be crying during the next lesson as well, probably cry during all 10 lesson.
Poor swim instructor.

..after 1st swim lesson and look, he's ok.
What's up with all the crying son?

HAYDEN'S 2ND LESSON
Cry ...cry ...cry, poor guy.
He's holding his breath and kicking, but everytime he comes out of the water he cries.

He's a happy camper now that he's not in the pool.
What a faker.

HAYDEN'S 5TH SWIM LESSON
As you can see, he's still not enjoying the lessons.
He swims great, but not having a good time.

HAYDEN'S LAST DAY AT SWIM LESSONS.
They made an underwater DVD. So cool!

I DID IT! I SURVIVED!!!

36 weeks

Here's mom at 36 weeks along... not much longer now. Mom's looking very tired after a long day with 22 third graders. Thank goodness the school year is almost over!!

Here's mom and her friend Maria at work. She's due 1 week before Emily.
Comfort in numbers.

Our Little Chef

Hayden loves to cook, especially if he's making pancakes...his favorite.

Thanks to all the friends and family who were able to make it and celebrate this special day.

My attempt at a football cake made of cupcakes.
It'll be much better next time 'cause I won't do it.

Bounce house fun! This was a great way to wear the kids out.

Giving Kendall a ride and Grace is waiting for her ride next.
Good job little Metz.

All tuckered out at the end of the night, snuggled between the Nelson girls.
