HI-YA

This weekend has been such a fun one for Owen!  After Heidi's yesterday, we met up with his friend Liam at the Y for swimming lessons.  It was their last class and they have learned so much since they started!  It was hard to imagine my baby in the pool by himself several weeks ago and now he's in and out of the pool, hanging onto the side, floating, kicking....all without us!  After swimming, we went to Liam's house for pizza.  The daddys did some demo work in their bathroom and the boys had a BLAST running and playing together.

Awhile back, Liam's mom found a karate class that she thought the boys might enjoy, so we signed them up and today was the first day.  They couldn't have looked any cuter in their gees!  The other kids in their class had been going for some time, so Owen and Liam were the newbies.  I was really proud of them - they listened and tried hard to follow along.

CHEESE!

 At the end of class, they all went through an obstacle course.  O loved it!

 Balancing on the half balls

 Doing a forward roll

 Doing a backwards roll

 All the way over!

 I think it was a success!  They both liked it and did really well!

And if that wasn't a fun enough start to the weekend, Ronda called and invited the boys to come play today, so now they are with their pal Sully and are being loved to bits at her house!
