Swim Team

Here is some pictures of the boys swimming last week. They haven't gotten their ribbons for last week yet, so I still don't know how they finished. They did pretty good though. We went to Emmetsburg last night for an indoor conference meet and Forest City was there as well. You can tell they are year round teams because they are in a lot better shape than our kids. With that said, I still think Jordan and Zach did awesome and we are so proud of them last night. Forest City has a 13 year old girl that is ranked 14th nationally. You can tell, she was awesome. It was a lot of fun to watch her swim. At least the boys had good competition last night and it will be a good preview of what's in store for the Iowa Games. There will be some great swimmers there and they are all from big towns like Urbandale, Ames, Des Moines, Oskaloosa, and so on.

Before I forget, I do know their results from last. Jordan got 1 first (25 breast), 3 seconds (free relay, medley relay, 25 butterfly) 1 third (100 m free)

Zach got all firsts (medley relay, free relay, 25 m butterfly, 100m individual medley, 50 free)

Who Doesn't Have Fun with Bubbles?

The boys saw how much fun Riley and Gavin were having with blowing bubbles that they had to do it as well. It sure makes for some fun photo ops. I think the little ones would blow bubbles all the time if they could.

Not much going on here. The boys are in full swing with swim team now and did really great at their first meet on Wednesday. There wasn't tons of competition except among their own team, but I guess at least there were kids to swim against. I think out of 10 total events between them they had all firsts except for 1 or 2 seconds, and that was for relays. Very proud of them!!

Riley and Gavin are enjoying the summer as well. They love to be outside and are loving the pool as well. Now we just need to get rid of those annoying mosquitoes, we have already gone through two cans of bug spray. They especially love Gavin, poor kid!!

Noah In Da House

Hi all, I know it has been a while since I last blogged, sorry for that. The mood didn't hit me last week to make a post. Hopefully these cute pictures of Noah makes up for that. My kids are so excited that Noah is finally able to go out and that we get to watch him during the day when needed. They love him to pieces and I do too. He is just so adorable and loves to smile as you can see in the pictures.

Memorial Weekend

This Memorial weekend we went to a graduation and it was at a park. So, of course, I had to take plenty pictures of that. The kids had so much fun. They got to play on all of the fun equipment, blow bubbles, have a watergun fight, play kickball, and play soccer. Believe me, they were very tuckered by the evening. To make it all better, they got to spend all of this time with their cousins from Aberdeen. And they also got to make a fire in Grandma and Grandpa's back yard and roast marshmellows. Talk about a fun day!!

Memorial Weekend, more pics

Jordan's Spring Concert

Jordan's concert was last week and it was long and hot. When Jordan only performs for about 10-15 minutes out of one and a half hours it tends to get a little long. And of course it was a warm and beautiful day out and so it was very warm in the gym. But, we made it through and enjoyed watching him do his thing. Jordan didn't bother to tell me though that he was one of two people who had a speaking part, I almost missed that photo op. Jordan even got to do tininkling which is when they tap two long poles together on the floor and people dance around the poles. He did really good and didn't miss a step, he was a little tired and winded though when it was all done, as was the rest of the class.

Zach's Spring Concert

Here are some pics of Zach's Concert. He loved playing the instruments and did a great job using sign language for the songs. Every concert they do sign language so it is becoming pretty easy for Zach to learn the signs. Great job, Zachy!
