Swim Lessons and Mother's Day

Cooper has been taking swim lessons this spring and has loved them.  We had his last one a few weeks ago. 

This is what Jackson did while Cooper was swimming, he'd play with the other kids who were waiting for lessons.  This was Jackson's little buddy, he played with him every time.

Hopefully those lessons will pay off this summer and Cooper will be able to swim independently!!

On Mother's Day Ryan had to be out of town for work, and my mom was out of town, so we had a laid-back Mother's Day!  (We celebrated the next weekend-Ryan and the boys brought me breakfast in bed and pampered me a bit :))

Cooper and I made pancakes.

 Then when he heard me talking to Laura on the phone saying "happy mother's day," he RAN to his backpack and brought me a little wrapped present.   Isn't that the best present ever?  He made this with his fingerprints.  I absolutely love it, and I LOVE how excited he was to wait and give it to me.

We had another tea party/ picnic.  They were obsessed for a few days, that's gone now. 

 We've been eating outside a lot lately before it gets too hot.

 So nice not to have to clean up drips from this!

 Watermelon is their absolute FAVORITE fruit.  I don't really know why...it's so messy I like them to eat it outside!
