It was so wonderful to see another doe just hanging out behind our fence. I was watching the boys swim and taking pictures of them when I happened to glance up and see the doe standing there staring at us. Isn't she the most beautiful creature?!

Ashton posing for a picture for me. Ashton learned how to do a backflip underwater today. It was so exciting to see how far he has come in just a few short weeks. He is getting much braver and even goes off the board without being coaxed. He can swim from the board to the shallow end. Justin and I are so proud of him :)

Owen posing for a picture for me. He worked me to death today. After supper we got in the pool together. We practiced our back flips and hand stands underwater. Then when Ashton was finished swimming he was our mediator while Owen and I raced. I am so out of shape because after half an hour my legs felt like jello and I was exhausted. But what a workout :)

In deep discussion about something!

Well my mom is doing good post surgery. She got to come home today after she kept some food down. Dad said the medicine she is on makes her tired but he said she needs the rest. We are sad that they won't be able to make it this weekend but we totally understand and wish the Grammy feels better real soon!

On a sad note... we lost one of our baby kittens so now we are down to 3 yellows and 1 black. I was so upset and trying to explain to the boys was a nightmare in itself. But I think we got it work out and they understand that the kitten is in heaven. Boy did that bring up a hundred and one questions that i was so not ready to answer but what can you do :)
