SWIM LESSONS...
Here are some pictures of Gavin and I at swim lessons. He has been doing really well in the water. He gets pretty distracted with the basketball hoop though! This kid LOVES basketball already! He points to it and wants me to lift him up so that he can touch the net. When I do he gets so excited and squeals and kicks his legs! He says "Buh Ball" (for basketball). 
It is cute except for the fact that we are supposed to be working on swimming! So I found him a little basketball hoop that we put up at our house so that maybe the novelty of basketball will wear off for him and he might concentrate more on swimming when we are at the pool! We will see I guess. Spencer and Jaimee are in our class and it is nice to have someone we know there!CACHE VALLEY WEATHER...The other morning for the half-marathon training I was supposed to do 3 miles of cross training so I decided to go for a bike ride for part of it. As I was riding along I found it ironic that the song I was listening to was Sheryl Crow's "Soak Up the Sun" and this is what my surroundings looked like...
I seriously took this picture from my cell phone! Honestly! It's April! Let's have a little sunshine!EMMA SMITH...
My mom and I went to see the movie "Emma Smith: My Story" yesterday. I thought it was really good and I learned new things about Emma that I didn't know before. Has anyone ever heard the song "Emma" from the "Joseph, A Nashville Tribute to the Prophet" CD? It is so good! Seeing this movie reminded me of that song. Here are some of the lyrics (Written by Jason Deere):
"With the world on your shoulders
When the nights had grown colder
You seemed to weather every storm
With a queen’s grace
When you lost your husband
When you buried your children
I’m sure the angels stood in reverence as you prayed
How much can one heart take?"
I am always amazed at all of the things Joseph and Emma went through. I can't imagine losing one child and they lost 6 (I think! Correct me if I am wrong.) They had such amazing strength and courage and I am SO glad they did!

The swimming lessons look fun! I'm over the mountain in Tremonton now so it is a bit less arctic than Logan but I feel for you. I can't remember which half marathon you said you were doing, my brother and my dad are doing Ogden, I might see you there if that's the one.
Me again, I wondered if you remembered Hailey's last name, the girl we worked with sooo many years ago. She was tall and blonde and her and her husband went to Wisconsin for Dental school. Do you remember?
Ok.. you look way to gorgeous to be in a swim pool!!!!
Swimming with your kids is the funnest! Looks like you guys enjoyed yourselves even though it was FREEZING!
I'm with ~kate~ wway to cute for the swimming pool! Sounds like a fun week!
Cute pics, that must of been the day we didn't make it b/c of Vegas. Did Brent go to take pics? That's fun if he did...Um yah tell me about it after running in Vegas I am even more annoyed with the weather here it has to turn some time soon, right?! Emma Smith is the strongest woman I know and I completely agree w/you she is an inspiration. I do know how it feels to loose 2 children so I couldn't even imagine how hard it must of been to loose 6, 2 is bad enough especially when they are twins..thanks for that inspiring post on her it gave me chills and I love hearing such inspirational stories, I need to go watch that movie.
