Swim Team

We had three in swim team this year - Ethan, Jamie, and Laura!

Laura qualified for every relay this year! And, tonight, their relay won first place in butterfly!!! She was very excited to win her first "first place" ribbon! They miss their last meet next week, which is their favorite - breast stroke - because we have to go out of town. But, they sure did great this year - I can't believe they do it!!!

Dive Team

Ethan did Dive Team this summer, and I finally remembered my camera last night and this morning to get some pictures. It was his first year and I think he did really well. I think his best (and favorite, I think) is the back dive. He also faced some fear and accomplished the high dive - jump and dive - woohoo! His neat one last night was a forward somersault, but, of course, my camera won't snap that fast so I didn't catch it last night and all I caught this morning was the splash. Good Job, Ethan!

Well Checks

O.k., yesterday I took Kelcie and Talin in for well-checks, and I just had to share their stats:

Talin: 15 mo.; 26lb. 14oz. (80%); 34 1/4 in. (97%)

Kelcie: 4 yr.; 29 1/2 lb. (8%); 38 1/4 in. (15%)

Could they be more extreme on the scale? People are going to wonder if they're twins pretty soon, and they're 3 years apart!!! Funny. My baby boy is going to be my tall one, I think :)

Summer Orchestra

As one of the Summer activities, Jamie started playing the Viola in Summer Orchestra! She's wanted to play strings since she was 5 and she's finally old enough to take at school! I think she enjoyed it and today was their little "concert". She's done well and I hope she continues to enjoy it - Good Job, Jamie!

Ethan's Birthday!

Today is Ethan's Birthday - 11 years old!!!!!!!!!!! Wow, can you believe that? He's so excited because he knows that Grandma gives a sleeping bag for the 11th birthday! Ethan is such a great kid! He loves playing the alto sax, the Wii, reading, and anything on the computer. He is so thoughtful and really smart. He tries hard at everything he does, and has decided this year to be Mr. Positive - it's wonderful! Of course, this also means he goes in to the New Boy Scouts - I can't believe my little boy is in a Scout Uniform!

Happy Birthday, Ethan!!!

I'm a Princess?

You Are Cinderella!

Dignified and hard working. With a gentle and soft-spoken manner you have something many people don't. Patience. Even through the moments of heartbreak you're still able to hold onto all of your hopes and dreams. Bide your time; your dream will come true.

Which Disney Princess Are You?">

My sister-in-law had this one her blog, and I couldn't help but be curious!

Fit City - Month 5

It's that time again - Fit City Challenge! This month they partnered with Cartoon Network and had a bunch of activities out at a Recreation Center. We had a lot of fun as a family - the kids were most excited about the Rock Wall, and they all did great! Ethan made it to the top for his first time ever, and then came down still shaking :) They all did really well.
