We had fun at the pool party yesterday.  Donna did come (yeah!) and we all swam and had fun.  Kalyn nearly drowned though.  She ran outside to swim before Heath and I did (I didn't even know she had gone outside...I am a terrible mom) and jumped right off the diving board without wearing her life jacket swimming suit.  I guess she thought she could swim.  Anyway, it was a good thing there were other kids out there who did know how to swim.  Apparently Kalyn kicked a little after entering the water but then went under.  A young man rescued her and she immediately changed into her swimming suit with the life jacket.  She wasn't too sure about the diving board after that for a while, but eventually tried it again.

The more I think about it, the more upset I get.  I could have lost my precious daughter and not even have been able to help her.  That is a terrifying thought and my heart hurts today thinking about it.  It was really scary and I have to keep a closer eye on this headstrong little girl when I know that danger is around. 

Around 7 pm, the girls and I left Heath to watch the fight and we went home to have a 'girls night.'  I put Keali right to bed--she was asleep by the time we got home anyway.  Kalyn and I ate some dinner then started watching The 10th Kingdom.  One of my favorite shows of all time.  We both fell asleep 30 minutes in.  Heath woke me up when he got home so that I would put Kalyn in her bed (for the record...had the situation been reversed, I would have let him sleep.  I don't know why he always wakes me up when he knows that I have a hard time falling back to sleep.) 

I eventually fell asleep again and slept until this morning.  Now I am getting the kids ready for church.  I love that my kids love church.  They have a bit of a problem with sacrament meeting (I can't blame them though; I had a hard time with sacrament meeting until I was a teenager), but they LOVE nursery and learning about Jesus.  Kalyn comes home singing wonderful songs.  This week Heath and I have been teaching her "Latter Day Prophets."  She almost has it down 100%.  She has a sweet singing voice and I am so proud of her!
