This summer Denise bought us a pool that we have really enjoyed. it is so dang hot in the summer. the only reason we are outside is for swimming. it was nice to have something fun at our house because we never really invite people over since it is so small. and having an effortless tan is always nice. Matix loved swimming with daddy because he would go crazy and make wave pools. he liked jumping off daddys back onto the rafts. and when brandon would throw him high and i would catch him in the water. He got a lot better in the water and by the end of summer he was holding his head under for about five seconds at a time. Me and brandon first got him to by blowing in his face and dunking him under., but he would get upset most of the time. then we had him blow bubbles and slowly put him face under. but what really did it was when his friend Piper came over and held hers under water. He didn't want to wear goggles so i would wear mines and i could see his cute little face and his eyes wide open smiling at me under water, wish i took a picture of him. We would pass the ball back and forth under water, thats when hed hold his breath the longest. We went to the public pool a few times this summer but not near as much as we used to. And a few of our friends had pools so we would swim with them as well. But from now on i want to have a small pool like this in the summer. sooo much fun
