Swim lessons, Summer, and Twilight Eclipse

I have no excuse why it has taken me so long to update...other than I am just plain lazy! Everything is going great in our household. Jesse is officially a 3rd year resident now and he has his first official interview next week. It is crazy after all these years of school, the time has almost come for us to actually have a plan on what we are going to do and where we will end up next. Finn is so fun. He is crazy. We put him in a two week swim lesson and he loved every second of it. He loves playing in the water and if he had it his way he would go swimming every day. I on the other hand did not like swim lessons one bit! Besides Finn sinking to the bottom of the pool on the first day, it is a lot of work getting ready for and then cleaning up. I am a sissy though. Right now Finn is obsessed with anything Toy Story. He goes around shouting his imaginary laser at things and he says the funniest things sometimes. I am so lucky that I can be with him all day everyday. My world is going to be turned upside down when he starts pre-school this September. I am going to be a freaking mess! Larky girl is getting so big. She has five going on six teeth. She is crawling around all over the place. She is climbing stairs (which is a nightmare!) and pulls herself up on anything she can grab a hold of, resulting in quite a few dings on her head as she loses her balance. She is such a happy and good baby, it has been a blessing. Lets see...anything new and exciting with me....NO! Maybe nothing other than the fact that I am a closet Twi-hard fan. My sweet, sweet husband surprised me with a Twi-fest party (after I moped and complained for a few days.) They had dancing and a bunch of other activities going on. Charlie Bewley, who plays Demetri in Eclipse, was there signing autographs for ONLY 20 bucks... which I had to pass on! It was exciting to see him there and he is quite the looker in real life! The party was from 7:00pm until 2:30am. We are party animals!! My mom, bless her heart, was nice enough to come and take care of our babies for us. I loved every second of it. Jesse saw a few work ladies there and was totally embarrassed by being there. He came up with the excuse that he was there for medical purposes in case anyone passed out or whatever! Then I went to see it again just a few hours later on a girls' night out with my mom, Jesse's mom, and two of my sister in-laws. If I could, I would probably see it at least three more times! In addition to the Twilight hoopla, have had a few get-togethers for birthday parties and reunions. Jesse had a two week rotation down in Nephi so the kids and I went down for a day to see him and we met some friends down there to see the Manti pageant. We just got together with family for the 4th of July and I am so lame I didn't take one picture. It was a great not-too-hot day. We are planning on a Colorado trip in two weeks with Jesse's family and I think that is the next exciting thing going on. Party on!!!
