New Adventures!!!

Okay so there are actually a few things that came before Taelin's birthday that I would like to share!




First time putting feet into Provo River... bur... it was cold!!!























Taelin and Logan (her cousin) took their first swimming class together. It was so much fun to see how Taelin loved the water. This was the first time she had entered a pool since she was two months old. She liked it a lot more this time! :) We tried to teach her to lay on her back in the water, it worked as long as mom's shoulder was under her head. I dunked her for the first time that day. I have to say that she did very well, she was a little suprised but didn't cry at all. Logan started to warm up to the idea of a pool about the second lesson. The first lesson he was frozen, litteraly, he was shivering and everything. At the second lesson he started to play which warmed up a little!






















Danny was accepted to BYU this summer semester. So we went on campus to meet with his councelor to sign up for the right classes. Taelin decided that she wanted to push the stroller, not sit in it, around campus. Danny is enjoying his Chemistry class so far. It is challenging but he is trying his best to understand it.




































Before school started we decided that we needed to take a vacation. We were planning on going out to CA to visit my mom. We sat down and realized that the only week that would work was memorial weekend. My sister Jennie and her family were going to be there for their pit stop on their way to Vietnam. My Aunt was there and my sister Emily and family was going to be there. It ended up being a great big family reunion. My brother Michael drove with us from Utah, it was nice to have someone to keep Danny awake. I am a sleeping traveler. I enjoy long naps while traveling long or short distances in the car! hehehe
It was so nice to have a vacation away from everyday life! We swam almost every day, even though it was overcast and sometimes I think colder than Utah. But it was a blast. The food, company, and accommodations were wonderful! Thanks for having us Buckwalters.













The gorgeous view walking down from the beach condo. San Clemente beach is beautiful!




























Auntie knowing how hot it was going to be in Vietnam, she bought Emma some new night gowns for bed! She loved them!

After our trip to CA. Taelin decided to play with the vacuum. She is terrified of the vacuum, but still likes to touch it. Here is a funny clip of her experimenting with the power button.
