Bella taking swimming lessons

We know our Daughter wants to swim and we really think that she can do it but we still make her wear her Kitties(Arm floats) I'm just a little to nervous of her drowning you know you look away at the wrong time and they go under..... my Son did it too many times to me So we signed her up for lessons at Leahi Swim school that's where we took our son. So my Daughter lucks out and she gets one on one swim lessons the other kids seems to be very scared of the water someone forgot to check with the kid to see if he wanted to go to swim lessons. So the teacher tells Bella to do a certain stroke in the pool and she does it like 3 times then decides to do whatever kind of swimming she wants to do. LOL So the instructor tells her come on Bella we need to do this first then we can have free swim. But she doesn't listen but after she did a month of lessons she NOW can swim WITHOUT floats Bella!!!

Pink Pancakes (Fancy Pancakes)

The other morning my three year decided she wanted pink pancakes

and these days I'd do anything to get a few bites in her mouth.

So with Kaity's help we made hot pink Pancakes it was a huge hit

Jared wasn't too thrilled but I added his blueberries and it was

all the same to him. So I think from now on I will make

Fancy pancakes That will be the new name for it in the Tanaka

Household.

And my favorite part was My candy Bar It came out really nice.
