just a couple things...

- mason and grace took swim lessons. they had so much fun and learned so much! especially grace... she gained so much confidence in those 2 weeks. she went from refusing to jump of the diving board... to holding someone's hand while she jumped... to jumping with someone there to "catch" her... to jumping all on her own and swimming to the side by herself. this was so HUGE for her. she always been afraid of the water and now she's a little fish.

i was surprised out how well mason could already swim. he became much stronger and learned some new strokes as well. they enjoyed going each time!

-jacob (and dave's) allstar team made it to the semi finals again. they had a couple really great games!

 (they took a beating in this game though. oh well. they'll try again next year.)

- jacob went to his first year of scout camp.  we didn't think he was going to be able to go because of baseball, but at the last minute was able to sneak in. i was a little nervous. it seems like every year you hear at least one awful story about a scout at camp.  he made it home safe and sound though and had a great time.

- still no luck on my material. i may have to give up on it and start to look for something else. :(

- august is going to be one crazy month!  i am so excited though!

so much fun stuff planned and i'll get to see two of my most favorite people!!

 it will be a great end to our summer!!
