Swimming, Swimming by Denny Lynn

I love swim lessons! I can't wait for them to start and I hate when they are over. My teacher this year was David. To thank him I made him a water bottle and card.

We put in a plastic bag and then filled the bottle with gummy sharks and fish.

I think he liked it! I now I liked my new swim school shirt and graduation certificate.

I learned to hold my breath under water and to dive down and get things in the pool.

I can also swim by myself know, even under water.

I had a great time at swim lessons and now I am ready for summer!

I even got to go off the diving board.

I appreciate David taking time to teach us so much.

Mama and Daddy gave us new swim clothes and towels in honor of finishing swim school for another year. I know they are proud of me - I am proud of myself!

Happy Fathers' Day by John Lee

We are always excited to celebrate the people we love! For Fathers' Day I made Daddy a special present.

It is a paperweight that says "Thank you for being my rock". I picked the colors myself.

Denny made him a special tie and a list of things he loves about Daddy.

We went to church and had a special Fathers' Day lunch. Too bad Grandpa and Papa couldn't be with us - I hope they know we love them very much! Happy Daddy Day!

Haulin' Hay by Denny Lynn

June means hay time! Frank grows it and has it baled, but we haul it. We spent two nights loading up the trailer. I was a big helper for Daddy.

Once the hay is loaded, it has to be unloaded! John and I are pretty good hay guys. Teamwork makes it work!

Heave....

....Ho!

We took tuns on the hook or as the pusher. It was hard work!

But, pretty fun!

Brothers make a good team for hay haulin'! If you need hay moved...call the Turner Brothers!

Happy Birthday, Holly by Denny Lynn

In between all our crazy summer activities we got to celebrate with Holly! We are all growing up so fast! I made special flip flops for Holly's birthday.

Pink with purple, because she is a girl.

Red, white and blue, because it is summer!

Holly had an American Girl Party - the invite said to bring your doll. John picked Iron Man and I took Captain America.

We signed Holly's special birthday shirt.

Iron Man jumped right into the party.

We had tons of fun playing pirates and jumping in the bounce house.

We sang to Holly to wish her a happy birthday. We are so blessed to have such special friends. I hope we are together for more birthdays to come!

Horse Show Planning by Denny Lynn

I am so excited to be preparing for my very first Horse Show! I am learning to read the pattern so I will know what to do.

I will be doing showmanship and riding, so Dunny and I have a lot to work on.

Riding takes a lot of practice and focus to remember the patterns.

Dunny and I make a pretty good team! I hope it is enough practice to be ready for the show!
