Brandon and Colin started swim lessons this past week! It is only going to be 4 sessions. They have already had two sessions and they LOVE swim lessons! They also have become little underwater fish over night! They want to be underwater ALL the time. Especially Colin! They are learning the front crawl (aka freestyle!) and hopefully by the end of the summer they will finally be swimming on their own. There are 6 kids in the class and two teachers. Miss Olivia and Miss Megan. Brandon and Colin are little pipsqueeks though and enjoy messing with the lanelines more than anything else...boys will be boys...





Here goes Colin...


Brandon's little head underwater...


And in true Toole fashion, Brandon is messing with the lane lines and Colin is messing with the noodles...

Here are a few pictures from our trip to the zoo on a Friday that Brandon had off of school. Kylie and Kira and Aunt Rachel were in town, so we all went and had a great time. Brandon said his favorite animal was the giraffe and Colin loved the monkeys!

They got to ride the train, see the dinosaur exhibit, ride the carousel and play in the kid's play area.

Brandon's school had their "Stampede" carnival on St. Patty's day...hence the leprechaun shirts and cowboy hats! Kylie and Kira were in town so they came with us, as well as our neighbors. It was so much fun! They got their faces painted, got tattoos, the girls got their nails done, they played games, ate food and jumped in bounce houses. The best part for me was seeing how much of a "big man on campus" Brandon is. All the teachers and a lot of kids were saying hi to him and he was just so popular for such a little kid. It was cool to see him in his environment and just having a great time!

Brandon's teacher Mrs. Oliff was doing face painting. He's never wanted to have his face painted before, but since she was painting, he went right up there!!

Brandon had his first soccer game ever about 4 weeks ago (yup, once again, I am behind, but I'm getting them up now!) I wasn't able to make it to the game, but Juan and Colin went to cheer him on! He did great and had a blast! He is following in his Daddy's footsteps as a star player! His team named themselves "The Squirrels"...There are 3 boys and 3 girls on his team. One of his teammates is our neighbor Hunter...they are so cute playing together! Here are a few pics from the game!!

Hailey and Colin were there to cheer on Brandon and Hunter...



The boys...


Brothers...Colin REALLY wanted to play too...


Pep talk...Brandon got to be #4, since he is 4 years old!

Last month (yup, last month...I am far behind...) Brandon and Colin went to their friend Cordelia's birthday party! There were pony rides, a hay ride to feed animals and lots of fun cowboy/cowgirl stuff going on. I couldn't believe they both actually RODE A PONY! Brandon hopped on right away. It took Colin awhile to get up the courage, but he finally did it! They had a great time!!
