Annabel learning to swim

Annabel is learning to swim from Kathy Neir – she taught me how to swim last year.  Annabel was very eager to follow me into the pool, so to be on the safe side, Mom and Dad decided she should learn some basics this summer.

When we perfect our swimming skills, we wear “jetpack floaties” on our lower backs to help us to not sink while we work on moving our arms and legs.

Here is Annabel showing Dad how much she learned from just 3 classes (before she started class, she couldn’t be in the water without being held.)

More Park City pictures

Mom’s camera is broken, but we still got a few good shots.

We had a wonderful trips – thank you to all our family for making this such a special memory. We love you!

Happy Father’s Day, Dad.

I know you all think you have great dads,

But I have the BEST dad. 

We had a great day and surprised dad with a baseball game!

Annabel liked playing peek-a-boo:

And the Mariner’s won!

More love for dad, tomorrow on his birthday…

LSU vs. UW

It’s hard to believe that it took me over three years to attend my first college football game – but boy was it worth waiting for. Grandma and Jidi took us to see their alma mater, Louisiana State University Tigers, play here in Seattle against the University of Washington Huskies. (It was also Annabel’s first college football game.)

Annabel’s first ballgame.

 We took Annabel to her first Mariner’s game – we had awesome seats, just 18 rows behind Home Plate!

Our seats were so great, we sat just two rows behind Ichiro.

As you can see, Annie loved the game. Three weeks old and already a huge fan.

Here is a clip of me dancing, the crowd behind me loved me, of course. A nice woman got up and danced with me, so I asked for her number. Unfortunately, we didn’t get it on tape.
