Bear Lake Summer 2012

I have put my order in to have a baby with blue eyes. So far, I have 3 children and no blue eyes in the lot. I grew up in a family of bright blue eyed peepers, at least on my dad's side. I myself have eyes that change colors slightly and love it when they shine that bright blue that is typical of a Dutton. While this is a very silly image of Ledger all dirty from the fun of our family weekend, it is a great example of his amazing eyes.

 Blue eyes are overrated!

 This was a great family weekend. Cory's family does a little trip every year where his parent and all his siblings and their family gather together. One of their favorite things is to play board games.

 More games!

One of the best family vacations EVER! I really had such a good time and enjoyed every ones family so much. I told Cory when we were leaving I needed a souvenir so I could always remember what great experience it was. It is moments like these that I know our plan to have four kids is the right one for us. I love family! I am lucky to have such a wonderful one and to be apart of my husband's fabulous one as well.

Swim Lessons

Ledger is a very funny little boy. He makes me laugh a lot. In the photo below he is telling his swim teacher "no no don't make me jump in, I do it myself." He sees that finger waging at him a lot from me. Now he puts it to good use with others.

 Winter did great with her lessons. She took right to the water like never before. Putting her head under and holding her breath.

 Ledger liked to do things on his own. He is still getting use to putting his head under the water.

 He often was looking around for me for reassurance.

 Winter learned to dive down into the water and kick with her feet out and her hands out front.

 She doesn't even have goggles on here.

 Learning to float on her back.

 Where's mom? Ledger I'm right here taking your photo!

 

After watching a lot of swimming during the Olympics they wanted to be "real swimmers." I took this photo with my phone.

4th of July Picnic in the Park

Huntsville picnic in the park. The kids had a really good time and loved the big fun park. This is a tradition in the making!

 I love his expressive little face. I could just gobble him up.
