Swim Lessons 2009

Navey's swimlessons were a big success this year. She is getting much better at following directions and not becoming so free spirited when she enters the water. She is in level 3 and I believe she was the youngest. Most the kids were at least 6 or 7. Connie(her teacher) had them swimming the long length of the pool doing the front crawl, the frog(breast stroke), the chicken airplane zoom,(breast stroke on their backs),back crawl, floating on their backs, rescue jump off the diving board, diving off the diving board, and diving for rings on the bottom of the shallow end. As you can see Navey didn't quite get the diving part All the time, their were many belly-flops. My absolute favorite is when she would recite OUTLOUD "chicken, airplane, zoom" to help her remember how to swim that stroke. What a goof!

Heaton Family Reunion SLC 2009

The Heaton Family Reunion was a success again. We started it off with a few hours at Raging Waters Friday night. The original plan was to be at Raging Waters all day saturday, but because of the weather to come on saturday we went friday instead. The kids loved it even though we were only able to be there a couple of hours, but honestly that was enough for me. Silas drove up a couple of hours after me and you forget how much your signifigant other helps out. It's exhausting to keep track of two kids around water! And mine seem to have no fear which makes it even harder.

Heaton Reunion SLC 2009

LOOK OUT for the SHARK!!!




Thanksgiving point museum. All the kids seemed to love this museum. It was all about dinosaurs. They got to see bones, aquariums, draw pictures, put together their own dinosaur, play in the water and sand, and dig in the dirt. It was pouring rain outside so this was perfect for our family to be together. Navey loved being able to find "little foot, and Sarah's skeletons" off of Land before time.

Safety Town

Navey was involved in the Safety Town program that Hurricane put on. She got to go every day for two weeks for a couple hours and learn all kinds of ways to be safe. Some of her favorite things were going in the ambulance, in the police car, seeing the fire fighters dalmation character, and the best of all was getting sprayed by the fire truck. What an amazing program, she would still be going if it would only last ALL summer!

Cleaning the golf clubs

Every dads dream.....to have his girls outside with him cleaning the golf clubs before you go play 9 holes. The girls were actually thrilled to be out there with Silas. I believe I heard Silas say "NO NO NO, Kenna" and I am pretty sure she was trying to put the toothbrush she was cleaning with in her mouth. YUCK! I must say I love standing back and watching Silas with our girls, they are very lucky to have such a patient, loving, hands-on dad.

Preschool Graduation 2009

Miss Navey has graduated preschool! What a fun year it has been. She has learned so many things such as, writing, reading, sharing, listening, singing, and just having a great time. Her teacher Mrs. Takou will be greatly missed this summer. Navey is very excited for her 5 year old school (kindergarten) and can't wait to meet her new teacher. What a joy to have your child love school, I can only hope it will last another 13 years!

Navey's 5 year Birthday

My beautiful, darling little Navey has just turned 5. How in the heck do I have a 5 year old, time flies! We had a great turn out for Navey's party, I believe we had 14 kids, 12 adults, and lots of WIND! No joke the wind was horrible, but it didn't stop our fun.

We played pin the nose on the Clown.

A fun silly game, roll the ball and keep it in the hoop, it's harder than it sounds; just ask the kids. :)

Navey had lots of fun presents to open.

Chocolate cake to eat.

The theme of the party was Mickey Mouse because we were heading to Disneyland the next day and one of the days was Navey's birthday.

More presents!!


One of the presents was a kite, how perfect with the weather conditions......lots of wind!

And the cutest thing ever, Navey got some GLITTER makeup from Grandma Lou and she had the best time putting it on herself and her cousin Tayli.
