Easter Weekend at Nawnie's....

This is my favorite pic from this weekend!..


Its that time of the year again!
So to help get ready for boat season, Kylee and Taylor help Curt wash the boat and get all the cobwebs knocked off!

Notice all the concrete?  They are in the middle of having a pool put in!

More swimming lessons...

This was my first lesson, since Curt went offshore....

 He didn't even want me to hold him, he wanted to go out on his own swimming, he kept pushing away from me



 This time he didn't mind going under the water, he wanted to do it over and over

 Again, he had so much fun jumping off the side!..

Throwing Fits....

So everyone tells me that Curt was a fitter when he was younger.  Now I know where Lake gets it from!  So I thought I would throw a collection of videos of him pitching his fits.  They are so funny!  Here is one....

Update.....

Oh, what a day....
So if you read the posts from March, you know about Curt's armpit and it's unfortunate incident with the jeep.  It has been about 2 weeks now and Curt got the stitches out, but the hole is still there.  Here is a pic....

Pic Day at School
So for Lake's school pics, I just knew they wouldn't turn out well, since he gave me so much trouble (and since he refuses to smile for my camera), but to my surprise, they turned out so CUTE!!!!  Here's a preview....

And for some reason, my computer is acting funny and will not let me save my favorite pic, so here is a phone pic of my computer screen...


It's a BOY!!!!
We decided on a name for this new lil boy!:   Shade Allen Hamlin

Camping!!!!!

So we love camping and we planned on going last weekend, but the girls decided that they wanted to camp in our backyard, and since we had stuff we could be doing at the house, we agreed!  We all pitched in to help, even Lake!


getting moved in....
 Lake loving on sis!
Stealing his sisters glow sticks, playing in the tent...
Roasting hot dogs on our camp fire  ......  lol

making SMORES!!!!
they were really ROUGHING IT!
So they only tried to come in once because they were scared, but they made it and slept outside ALL night!  This is the next morining....
So we didn't go to our usual camping spot at Crooked Creek, but we still had a good time in our backyard!

Swimming Lessons

You can tell Lake is a diver's son, he LOVES THE WATER!!! 
So we decided to put him into swim lessons, because we knew he would have so much fun and more importantly to teach him to swim.  He was too young last summer, so this is the first we could.  And we were right...  He loved it!
 Curt would have to blow in his face to make Lake catch his breath, and then Curt would dunk him under the water.
 Then they would throw the ducks to the other end of the pool, and Lake (with the assistance of Curt) would have to swim to the other side of the pool to get the ducks, going completely under the water twice on the way.
For this part, we have to help him climb onto the side of the pool...

And then, (for his age group) he was supposed to slide back into the water, but Lake is fearless, so he did what the bigger kids did and jumped in!

Lake had so much fun in this class, he was completely worn out after...
The teachers made the class a lot of fun, they had fun songs to sing while going thru different motions.
