Swim Team's over

Sunday night the kids got their trophy's. Ashton got Most Improved! Coaches said he swims an awesome breast stroke.

 Sierra was hoping for another Coach's Award but I told her she can't get it every year. :)

whew!

Whoa! It's been a while since I've posted. Life has really thrown us for a loop but hey, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. :)

I'm not even going to try to back track. So much has been happening and I can't even keep up, I will just mention the most frequent events. With minimal pictures, geez I need to get my act together.

The kids both did their end of the year presentations on Monday. I snapped a picture of Ashton but just got Sierra on video. They both did so great and made Daddy and I proud. :)

Monday the kids also started swim team. Ashton is not thrilled cuz it's hard but, too bad! He also started summer basketball this last week too. Sierra enjoys swimming, good thing. :) 

 Last day of school was on Friday!! YAHOO!

I'm done with school for the summer too! Won't find out my grade till mid summer. What's up with that! We are going to enjoy and ENJOY the warmth of the summer and the time together!
Sierra went to Sadie H. surprise birthday party last night and Jake and I took Ashton to Chili's. Fun stuff! :)

End of the Season

Tonight we got to go get trophy's and it was really exciting stuff!

Sierra got Coach's Award


and we are SO happy that we made it through the season...ready to enjoy the rest of the summer! :)

Day #2

This is Ashton's first year being on our neighborhood swim team. Today was his 2nd practice. He LOVES it! Yesterday we got to the pool and he stood next to me and very matter of factly said, "I'm not getting in the water."
mom: Yes you are!
A: "no, I'm not."
mom: YES you are!
A: Nope
(then the bribery)
mom: if you get in the water I will give you your money that is in the cupboard.
A: okay where do I get in
He has NEVER used a kickboard before and it is so cute! He looks all around to see if he is beating the other kids. He bobs his little booty up and down to try and go faster. He's competitive just like his sister! :)

it's only the 2nd day and coach Patrick moved him to the lane with the faster kids because he said he was doing good. I don't know if he's ready for THAT, but he seems to be fine and it's great because he is being challenged.
He gets out of the pool and asks me, "mom, did I do good?"
"Yay, you did SO good!"
He says "I went to the deep end lots of times without you!"
"mommy is SO proud!" :)
