needing a vacation

making all these LOs recently of hawaii pictures makes me want to take a vacation some where before school starts again.
here is bryan at the beach right outside our hotel from this past april. the sun was setting but the boys wouldn't leave the beach! you can see brybry is trying his best to not shiver & to give me a smile.these stamps from lawn fawn are the best for these beach/pool layouts! papers are from echo park. perfect match!
we've been going to the pool still once a week. bryan's private swim lessons has gone from 30 minutes to 15---- on a good day. that boy just does not like water on his face!


so brandon has been taking the rest of the lesson time and he is doing wonderfully, learning new strokes and techniques. brandon still goes to his lesson once a week too at a swim school so he is getting in a lot of pool time this summer!


he'll be a 2nd grader soon!


always time to fool around in the kiddie pool!have a good week!

What a fun layout! Love the paper pieced LF critters--too cute! Our older daughter didn't like getting her face wet either. He'll probably outgrow it, or swim the dog paddle for the rest of his life....So cute!

Your LO is so cute, Ivy! The colors of your PP complement the photo perfectly. And your boys are adorable, as always. I love Bryan's smile! We didn't do any swim lessons for Elisia this year but she did start swimming out about 5 feet from the pool side when we were in Sanibel. Big progress!
