Swimming Lessons at Texas Tech

Hazen had so much fun this year at swimming lessons. He really wanted to swim all by himself that finally we put a life jacket on him and let him kick and stroke on his own. He kept telling me to let go everytime I would try to hold him. He really could swim to the edge, or go get the toys all by himself. The instructor said he was ready for aqua tots next year! Good Swimming Hazen. And isn't tech's new pool awsome!! It has like 5 pools, a lazy river, fountains, slides, diving boards, all sorts of fun things for the little ones.

Red River, New Mexico

Our friendly neighbors were nice enough to let us go with them up to their cabin in Red River. It was a beautiful mountain town and we had a blast getting out of lubbock for the weekend. Hazen loved the trees, the rivers, the cabin, and the hummingbirds. That was, or course, until he saw the snow mobiles. We had a great time fishing, and relaxing, and making smores, and walking around the town. Jennifer and I caught the fish for our dinners, and Jed and Ray just talked about how big their fish were. Now it is back to studying 9 hours a day for Jed :( Only 6 weeks until step 2!!
