Swimming

Caleb had a swim party for his birthday and here are some highlights....Chester needed/wanted a life jacket, tube AND arm band (if I would have let him) This kid is fearless when it comes to water. He will just jump right in. Deep or not deep....Life jacket or no life jacket....Someone there to catch him or not I DOESN'T MATTER!!! The kids is a fish!
This one, on the other hand would NOT leave this step if her life depended on it. She is TERRIFIED of the water. I would try and get her out with me and she would scream and cry and hold on to me for dear life! Although, if It was one of her bigger Girl cousins (Morgan, Meghann or Courtney) She would go with no struggle at all. (stinker) This one (Cordell) likes to try new things. Jumping in head first was his accomplishment this time! Go Cordell! (now only if he would remember the things he learned in swimming lessons)
And my sweet Kayden. He is just happy playing in water were he can touch. He is easy to please!
Here is Grady's first swimming experience. I put him in the boat alone, but like I said earlier Chester "Needs" anything that floats. So he is sharing with Grady! (SO terribly sorry about the white girl in the background)
And after all that swimming, the Grad-inator got Tired and snuggled right into Grandma's arms! How sweet is that picture!?
Thanks for a fun Birthday Party Caleb / Allreds! And thanks to Melinda's friend Susan for the Use of her pool!

Gosh we are missing out, not being your neighbors! Your kids are as opposites as mine are to eachother! Haley will jump in the water with or without a life jacket! And Sophie as you know, had a hard time sitting on the swing! Really, they are all mostly big chicken butts! Except for Haley!
