Swim Team

The boys had another meet and this time it was breast stroke. Tyler did really well he got 4th place! We were so excited for him. Underneath is his big finish! Hunter didn't want a picture. He finished 1st, but was disqualified for not touching with both hands. He was so upset. Doesn't like to lose.

The girls are bored at the swim meets so we take pictures of them and show them their pictures. I love the digtal age!

Summer 2009

Well I can't figure out how to move the pictures. So I will just leave them the way they are. It usually lets me move them around. Oh Well! Here is Tyler at his swim meet. He is getting ready to get on the block.
Here is Hunter with his first place ribbon. He won in Butterfly. He was so proud of himself so was the rest of the family. Way to go Hunter.
I got to go to Girls camp for the second year in a row. It was so much fun! I love fanny packs!
Tyler patiently waiting his turn.

This is Hunter swimming his butterfly.
This pictures go backwards Hunter waiting his turn. He was right in front of where I was sitting.
Before the meet the boys were messing around in the speedos. I am really glad they made those long shorts now. I am not too fond of the underwear version.

Keeping Kids Busy

Swim team for the boys. Lesson for Lucy! Gracie is still to young to be without me and seeing as it has been in the 90's here I will wait to get in the water with her in the morning! The boys had their first swim meet on Thursday. They did good for them. I had to miss it. I had my Sister's baby shower. It was quite the zoo I am told. Four schools were there and lots and lots and lots of parents. Not really so sad to miss out on that part of it. It was hard to see the kids too with all the people there. They were excited to show me their ribbons.

Keeping 5-6 kids busy this summer has been fun and exciting (my 4 + babysitting 1-2). We have had a lego contest. See who could build the coolest creation. Here are the 3 boys results. I think they turned out pretty awesome. Top on is Tyler's, next we have Hunters and last but not least is Will's!

Travis has been trying out the balancing act too.
Lucy has been experimenting with my makeup! Gracie too sad to say I didn't get a picture of that one. It was just as good as Lucy's though if you want to imagine it.
One more week down a couple more to go... I get a break next week and get to go to Girls Camp!! Bring on the teens!

Sir Tyler

He is always turning junk into treasure! I love the eyes peeking out! Root beer anyone?

The Emperor

It was really cute. The food wasn't too bad either. It was buffet style and very kid friendly. We had a blast. This summer they are having Jungle Book for kids with the lunch buffet. We might have to check it out and take Gracie and Hunter along.

On Wednesday I got to go on a field trip with Tyler's class. We went to the Desert Botanical Gardens. It was really fun to go with Tyler and other than it being really hot it was great. They have a lot of glass art there. It was really fun to look at it all. We were able to go into a tent full of butterflies too. It was nice to hang out with my little man!!
On the bottom picture it is hard to see, but there is a bat on one of the name plates. It was so small and cute.

It was a great day! Thanks Mom for watching the girls!

Hunter's class did a play this year. They were all cowboys and sang a couple of songs. Mr Oliver was the star of the show. He is such a fun principal! Hunter is the very back row smiling big for his Mom!
