Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swiiimmmming.

Fire season came early!  We're on about a week of Donnie working.

Yellow watermelon from farmer's market.  Jackson's face while I was holding up the sample for him to try at market was hilarious.  They're so conditioned in colors, he just couldn't grasp that it was watermelon.



When the boys are quiet, I usually wonder.  But on day 7, I just let it go,



Another of Jackson with his blue ribbon.  Donnie always takes him to Dutch Bros. if he does a good job at swimming lessons (there have been a few times he hasn't gone, a-okay in my book to be strict), but today was definitely a big-drink Dutch Bros. day,

Swimming

Proud Jackson earned his Blue ribbon today at swim school.  He was so excited!

And in other news, Colby's words are now,
Hi
Mama
Dada
Dog
Duck
Chip
Go
and thanks.

Maybe he has been talking longer than we realized :)

July!

July came and went.  Boo, the summer is going by way too fast.

Fourth of July.  We had friends over, BBQed, swam, drank, and somehow missed the fireworks!



The State Fair.  Donnie and my favorite was some Honey Wheat Summer beer and corn dogs of course.



Jackson did his first session of tennis and loved it.  He starts another next month.



Dawn's 50th Birthday!



Camping in Tahoe!





Came home to one of my sessions being on the cover of a local magazine.  :)



And Colbster on the inside.  And Colby's official first word, "Thanks!"  What a polite little boy.  Blair & her friend Zac said that Zac told Colby bless-you after sneezing, Colby said, "Thanks!" And I totally did not believe them.  On the way home (after getting carsick, apparently Colby takes after me) he sneezed and I said bless-you, and Colby said, "Thanks!"  So cute.  Now we kind of think he's been saying a few words all along, but they are too cute and cooing sounding that we haven't noticed.
