If I had my child to raise all over again, I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later. I'd finger paint more, and point the finger less. I would do less correcting and more connecting. I'd take my eyes off the watch, and watch with my eyes. I'd take more hikes and fly more kites. I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play. I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars. I'd do more hugging and less tugging.

"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh you memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience.

Very impressive! Private lessons are definitely the way to go. Too bad my kids didn't really learn how to swim all that great this year with them though. It's my fault because I never take them to the pool to practice. What a relief to know they will at least be a little safer in the water.
Such cute pictures I am glad you have updated your blog. Its fun reading what you and your kids are up to. They are so dang cute by the way!!!
Im sorry if the comment I made came across wrong. I was mostly trying to be funny. I know he is one of the greatest guys Ive ever met I love him so much!!! I am glad you think he is great too. It's probably not the easiest thing to be sarcastic while typing it doesnt really come across the right way.
Wow thats great! It goes to show you how much a little one on one time can make such a big difference. They are athletic little kids!
That is so cool that they are such good little swimmers now! I can't wait until Ander learns how to swim and me too. :)
Fun! I think that is so neat you can do that, we don't have a choice here...it is either you take lessons at our one public pool or you don't learn :). YAY for them learning so much...don't you love it when they master something new??!!
Jessica is the way to go, she is the miracle worker of swimming lessons! I'm so glad your kids loved it. Next year we'll have to coordinate our times so the kids can play a bit.
Swimming is such a valuable talent to have, for safety reasons more than anything. My 11 year old can only make it 1/2 way - Go Bryns! Miss you guys.
Hey there! We are in Draper, but the Utah County side. My family moved to Orem right before I started junior high and we have pretty much stuck around the general area. How about you? Are you down in Utah County? This will out me as a blog-stalker, but I have noticed you on a few other blogs of people that I know live down here. Your kids are so cute, and I love their names, too. How fun to have a little girly-girl, mine is such a tom-boy, no dancers in this house...
