Swimming Classes

We have done one week of swim lessons so far.  One more week to go.  My goal is to get those both comfortable being in the water by our 4th of July trip.  Through my friends, I found a private instructor.  One on one time is best for my kids.  It's working out great.

Mary is SOOOO close to it on her own.  still a little unsure on her own, but she will be there.  She is just unsure of herself.  Does not like to open her eyes under water, or get her eyes wet.  Working on that.  But she loves to swim.  She has mommy's fish gene in her. 

 Tere is a little bit more unsure than Mary.  Has a big trust issue with the water.  Miss Jenn, the instructor is working on it.  She is a great instructor.  Teresa does OK with Jenn, but not so much with me in our park pool. 

 Our good friend, Brooke, is also doing swim lessons right after our times.  She is a little fish so far.  Much better than Teresa.  She's only 8 months older than Teresa, but it really makes a difference.  She's ready to do it!!

So, we have one more week to go of lessons.  Then to do it on our own.  I hope it all works out well!!  We'll be a family of fish in three weeks in Merced!  Can't wait!!!

Saying Goodbye

Friday June 1st, we put my 90 year old grandma to rest.  She lived a long life.  We all loved her so much.  She definitely knew how to have fun.  Which is were my mom gets it from, and was passed down to me too!  She loved to dance and sing anywhere she was.  If she was in a line at the store and heard a good song, she's start tapping her foot and bopping along to the beat.  It made everyone smile. 

 We had a very nice memorial for her at the grave site.  the priest made it so nice with such nice words. 

 After the memorial we went to her favorite Mexican restaurant across the street from the cemetery, El Presidente.  We have ate many many meals there together.  We always had the same waiter, Martin.  He is still there too.  So, we had to have her serve us. 

This is her house she lived in, in Granada Hill.  Many many sleep overs and fun times there. 

It was hard to say good bye, but it was time for her to go.  We will miss her in so many ways.  But now she is up in heaven with grandpa and all her other friends.  She is up there dancing and singing again. 

Love you Grandma!
