Jenna swim lessons

Jenna has been waiting most of the summer to have her turn at swim lessons. Jenna believes she is "so big" and she is grown up so much this summer. Last year she wouldn't put her face in the water or go under so they wouldn't advance her to the next level. But a couple weeks ago our family went swimming together and Brian helped Jenna with putting her face under the water. So when we started lesson this last week she was so ready to go under the water. So they ADVANCED her to the next level and she is doing great. Last Friday I think I saw her going under the water holding her breath more than anything else. GREAT JOB JEN!!!



Jenna in her new swimming suit --- This was her choice of swimming suit and she looks really cute in it.






One of Jenna favorite things to do during the last 5 minutes of free time is go down the slide. She has become our little fish!!

Jenna's last T-ball game

Jenna loved playing T-ball this summer. She only knew one girl on the team but at the end she became friends with all of them. She loved going to the games and loved the treats at the end. At the end of the season she was hitting and almost catching the ball with a throw. She makes Brian and I smile because she is so happy. We love you Jenna Lynn

James --- Who's eyes does he have?

Okay--- Some have asked Brian and I where James get his big brown eyes. Well the brown is from the handsome Daddy but the big brightness is from me. Below is a picture of me when I was small. He is growing and learning new things everyday. Jenna loves to teach him the good things but he seems to like to find the bad "dangerous" things too. He had discovered our 18 step set of stairs going up to the loft and he can almost make it to the top in 1-2 minutes flat. He loves to be busy and he keeps me busy too.


(Sorry I couldn't flip the picture of me.)

Fleming Sibling Campout in Idaho

Each year Brian's parents, siblings and their children gather for a one week adventure of camping. This year was fun but filled with many many many days of rain and mud. We all endured the camp but had to be creative and do thing inside of our camper and enjoys the break of sun outside. We had a great time and the kids always seem to love it more than the adults. Below are a few pictures of the kids having fun and then their cousins.
