Swimming Lessons

We had our first swimming lesson today! Daddy came to take pictures of us in the water - Some of the pictures aren't centered nicely but that's due to the fact that you're not allowed to take pictures with anyone else's kids in them. What a wonderful world we live in.




The class was basically parents singing nursery rhymes and moving the babies around to the various lyrics. Because it was Hannah's first class she didn't go under the water but next week it's on! 


Enjoy the pictures.




She was pretty zonked after and fell asleep on the way home. I love it when she's sleeping!


The picture below I just wanted to add because it's awesome! I hope you love it as much as I do =)

Modbury Stake Swimming Carnival

Yesterday Hannah went swimming for the first time! 

She'd just woken up =)
Every year our church holds a swimming carnival during the summer months for anyone who would like to attend. Back when I was smaller they would hold races but it has been many years since there has been any kind of a structure to the activity and nowadays it's just a chance to swim for free and catch up with various people from different areas.

Hannah and I started off in the little pool to get her used to the water which she wasn't too sure about at first. The water was a bit chilly in the baby pool but she eventually got used to the temperature so we moved on to the adult pool. Below are some pictures of us in the paddling pool.






She was very happy playing in the water and spent much of her time kicking and splashing. She loves to kick!

As Hannah and I were leaving a thunderstorm blew in and everyone went home early. I think my head was more wet from getting to the car then it was when I was in the water =) Luckily for Hannah I put a couple of towels over her to keep her dry and warm.

Swimming lessons here we come!

A little Christmas

It has been a while since I last wrote anything and I hope you will forgive me. Christmas is such a busy time of the year for us and this year we had the extra bonus of having Aunty Brooke, Uncle Matt, Aunty Kirsty, Uncle Craig, Darcey, Tiarni and aleXander. 


Busy, but great.


Below are a few pictures of Hannahs First Christmas.






JERRY! .. I put her in there =)
