A brave post and a showoff

This is a "brave post" for me cause it contains pics of me in a swimming suit. And the showoff is Lauren who now rolls constantly both ways. We can't keep her on her back anymore.
It was nice and hot out today so I decided to get in the pool with Emma. I had the day off of work since I worked last Sunday. We had a great day, went to lunch with our good friends Lisa, Paul and Mason from Denver. We ate at Famous Dave's in Bellevue and it was way yummy!!!
The pool was actually quite refreshing but it is so tiring when someone wants to ride on your back while you swim in it. I am trying to teach Emma to swim and I don't quite know how to. She is learning how to hold her breath when she puts her face in the water. She actually tripped over my feet and fell all the way under before she stood up. I think she actually did hold her breath. She has to wear her life jacket though if she is the only one in the pool.

After about two hours in the pool....yes I wore major sunlotion....we got out and she took a bath and I a shower since the chlorine level was a little high to begin with. (I don't like germy pools :) ) Then off to another baseball game which they won 18-0. We start the "state tournament" tomorrow night in "scenic" Carter Lake.

Lauren has already learned to roll both ways. This is way earlier than Emma ever did and it is so fun to watch her do it. It is great that she can roll but she will not stay on her back, even in bed, then squirm around to try to get comfortable. Plus, after she eats, she rolls on her belly and then spits up. If I don't catch it right away, she gets tired and lays her head down in it....yuck. We did a lot of laundry today and will probably do a lot more now. Emma thinks its hilarious and she is getting more and more excited to play with Lauren.

Oh yea, today in the pool Emma wanted to pretend that we were swimming to different places. She said that we were swimming to "Africarica" (Africa) and McKansas City. I think these great names come from us talking a lot about Africa, which is where our Uncle Mel is right now and McKansas City I think comes from talking about our cousin Mackenzie. Emma also told me about a girl at "her gym" named Jasmine....she said , "but mom, why is her name Jasmine, she's not a men! Then she asked about the word breakfast and what "fist" means. Too much for my brain today, I need to get to work. :) She is also interested in what heaven looks like and what Jesus looks like. If anyone has any good responses to these questions, let me know.
