The Pease Family: Camping and swimming

I don't know why I have waited so long to update but I was getting frustrated with the kids so they went to bed early and I figured this was a good time to finally do it. We have all been doing really well and have had a lot going on. We went camping last weekend at Box Elder Campground outside Mantua, Utah. We had a lot of fun. The boys enjoyed playing in the dirt and getting all dirty. Landen's favorite thing to do was throw rocks in the river. He was also freaking out about the bugs and I am not exaggerating, I really mean "FREAKING OUT!". Dade liked finding all the trash and playing with it, or just putting it in his mouth.

Last Monday Landen started his swimming lessons and Dade started on Tuesday. Landen is learning to be comfortable in the water, arm movements, floating and to put his face in the water. He is doing really well and he loves his classes. He asks me everyday if he gets to go to swim class. He is already a lot more comfortable in the water. He still has a hard time putting his face in the water but the teacher has been having the kids jump into the pool and he has no problem doing it. He has 4 more classes but I think we are going to put him in more classes as soon as we can. Dade's class is a mom and tot class so I am in it with him. His class is to get him use to the water and to be more comfortable with it. He has only had 2 classes and has only 2 left. As soon as we get into the water he wraps his legs around me and holds on for dear life. He likes to splash and that's the only way I can get him to have any fun. At the last class I had to put him under water. I am always so scared to do that but he did alright with it. He didn't like it very much but he didn't choke or cry so that was a big plus. We will probably get Dade in another class soon too.

Drew is down to one class now and its his photography class. He is really enjoying it. His work schedule is working out alright. It definitely can be hard at times but it sure is nice to see him more, especially with him only having one class. We will see how it goes when the fall semester starts.

I don't have much going on for me, just everyone else. I have read a lot of books lately. That's all I do on my down time. My house has even been getting neglected. I have a few projects that are started or that I want to do, I just haven't finished them or even started working on them. We try to spend a lot of time outside, especially when Drew is home sleeping and that's usually the time that I read. I think that's about all that is new with us so here are some pictures.
