Swim Lessons

Swim lessons have been going on since the beginning of July, and are still!! Kaleb is getting to be such a good swimmer. He can swim across a good portion of the pool, and he passed level three off before we went out of town. Now he is working on improving his strokes and swimming further. We are so proud of him!!

Mayson is doing great in swimming too. She is in level one, and will go completely under the water now. She is the proud owner of a new pair of pink goggles, and she thinks she is pretty cool. She likes to yell from the side at Rhyan to make sure Rhyan is watching her swim and do her floats. She has made great improvements since she started this summer!

Larry's Birthday

Larry's birthday was on the 12th, and we took him out to dinner with friends and on Saturday had a party with everyone a Cold Stone. You can see the kids thought dad needed some help opening his presents...they were more excited than he was I think. Below we were at TGI Fridays with some friends. The kids were excited to go out to dinner, and afterwards JJ watched them for us and Larry & I went out to see Transformers.

Larry's Softball Team

Larry spent a good portion of the summer playing softball a few nights a week. It was fun for all, because the wives & kids got to socialize while they were playing. It is a church league, so our whole team is amde up of members from our local wards(students) and they played other churches. Larry had a lot of fun & got some exercise!

Fourth of July

It has been a busy month at the Kalke house. First we started out with the 4th of July. We had a great big barbeque with all the dental students that live around us. You can see Rhyan was happy about being locked in her stroller. She kept trying to steal everyone's drinks and food so we had to lock her up!







Fireworks started when it got dark, so of course it was a late night for everyone. We all went over to the Herdersons house since the new owners had not arrived yet, and did fireworks on their driveway. The kids had a blast, though we didn't have any amazing fireworks...just simple stuff. Everything here is illegal pretty much. Luckily Rhyan was in bed so it made it a lot easier for everyone.

The Kids Play Baseball

Kaleb is having a lot of fun playing baseball this year. He has gotten really good at hitting, and loves his new bat. He says it's his magic bat and he has to use it at every game. He also has a great arm on him. He throws really well, and has improved so much this year on his catching skills. It is so fun to watch him play.






Mayson is playing T-Ball, and this is her first baseball experience. She has fun for the most part. Sometimes in the out field she gets board and comes walking off the field to tell me why she didn't want me to sign her up for base ball! When she's hitting though, she has a blast. She has a very girly, pink bat, and she loves to run the bases. She really likes to chase the balls too when they come near her. She's not great at catching, but with her cool pink mitt she's bound to be getting better soon!
