Watching Dad play softball

Erin and Claire came to one of my softball games a few weeks ago and Claire had a great time watching...as well as playing with the other kids that were there. The little boy she is standing next to in one of the pictures is our friends Joel and Amanda's son Jackson...I better keep an eye on those two!



Swimming lessons

Claire started swimming lessons at the end of July. Erin and I take her every Tuesday to the YWCA and for 45 minutes get in the kiddie pool with her so she can get comfortable with the water. She wasn't too fond of it her first night, but has gotten better with it ever week and now is very excited to get to the pool...that is actually one of her favorite words right now...and she LOVES watching swimming in the Olympics.

Claire's 1st pool

With the weather finally getting warm in July, we went and got Claire her first pool. She is a bit timid with it, but enjoys walking around it and splashing the water with her hands.


4th of July

This year for the holiday weekend Erin, Claire, Baxter and I went up north to Grandma and Grandpa Waymire's house on Sunrise Lake. They were also up there, along with Aunt Kate and Uncle Adam (along with Oliver), so we had a great time. We did a lot of fishing, cooking out, and spent a lot of time around the fire pit. Adam and I also showed off our pyrotechnic sides as we purchased a number of fireworks to shoot off...and in doing so put on a show for the entire lake (per the loud cheers we received once we were finished lighting them off).
