Yellow Tang

This is a Yellow Tang:

This is OUR Yellow Tang:

Earlier this month he decided he has no fear of water, and to our surprise, he even knows how to hold his breath. This is his first day of "swimming" by himself.



Suffice it to say we watch him like a hawk by the pool. We also hope Ashlyn is watching too, because she is still terrified of learning how to swim. As for Jax, he's getting better every time we get in the spa. His favorite is jumping off the ledge and kicking and paddling towards Mom or Dad. Stay tuned for a post about our San Diego trip with the Winkleman's!!

Do you have a waterproof video camera? Because either I'm crazy or that camera was under water for part of it.
ANywAy,
That kid cracks me up! You better put him in swimming lessons as soon as he's old enough to enroll. He is going to be in the olympics someday.... Michael Phelps, watch out!

That's awesome! I'm surprised that Ashyn has fear of water after all that time in the ocean on the beach!

Great! He can come be an example to James, who hates to have his face wet. You guys can stop by our place on your way to Hong Kong in May! :)

I finally got a chance to catch up on your blog - the kids are SOOO cute! You guys do great work! :) I can see you're happy as can be and I'm glad. Provo is the same and so is the MTC, never ending missionaries but that's the greatest job security there is. :) I'm doing well -in a new ward due to boundary changes in the stake last year so that's still a bit strange and I'm still getting used to it. Keep having fun with those kids of yours!
