First Summer Swim Meet

First Swim meet of the summer so the results are mostly in and our kids did really good in the summer swim team meet that was held today. Of course the weather was really good all day long until just one hour before the meet. The clouds started rolling in and the wind started to blow around us lightly. The weather held out good enough for most of the meet… Half way through it started to rain and it was really chilly. I just can’t believe this summer it is driving me almost crazy I miss my boat. Anyway, Bowdee took 3rd in freestyle 50, 3rd in backstroke 50, and 5th in breaststroke 50. I was so happy for him in doing so wonderful.
Then Matia this being her first year on the team took 6th in backstroke 25, and she got disqualified on the breast (because I forgot to tell her what stroke it was, and she swam the freestyle), then she finished off with the freestyle and got 7th. I am so proud of both of them for the hard work they have put into this sport. I know it can be exhausting to swim 45 minutes every day but wow you two are amazing and I appreciate all your hard work. Keep it up cuties!

Baseball Playoffs!

Bowdee has been playing baseball for the Padres Little League this year. He has learned so much about baseball it is amazing. He even got to pitch a few games and did suprisingly great. Even though he still favors soccer it was a good learning experience for all of us. Bowdee’s team played in the playoffs on the same day that Matia had her dance. It was scheduled at 1:30 and Matia’s dance was at 5:00 so we thought it will be tight but doable. Well he played half the game and they were tied when the lightning and thunder lite up the sky. And only in this June would we have to worry about this crazy weather. Anyway they cancelled the game and rescheduled to start again at 4:00. And only in Utah can you predict the weather to be completely changed within 2 hours. So we went to finish his game and they were playing really well. I didn’t get to see the end of the game because I had to take Tia to get dressed for her dance. But he hit a great hit way out in the outfield and played his best. They ended up not moving on in the playoffs but I was proud of him for giving it his all. Good playin’ Boyfriend.

Matia's Dance Performance

I just have to say I love to watch my daughter dance. Well I love to watch her dance, swim and do gymnastics. Well really I just love to watch her do anything. She is so cute and full of personality! She was in two of the dances the "Unbirthday in Alice in Wonderland" and the "Mamba" and oh how she filled the Mamba with spunk she really got into her grove on that one.

At the end of the performance they even handed out trophies! This was her first trophy ever and oh how excited she was. It was a big moment in her little life. One I was glad to share with her. I love you Tia and I love watching you excel in all that you do. Good job Dancing!

Lovin' my Job

So I just have to do a little shout out loud about how much I love my job. Treg just ran outside to play football with the boys and it was not even a full minute he runs back in screaming pretty loud. I was thinking a bee was chasing him or something and he comes to me and announces he just got a sunburn. Huh I didn't even know that was possible to get a sunburn in 30 seconds. He was even pointing to the exact spot. So I figured he just didn't want to be outside and laughed it off. Then he wanted to go back out but insisted I put sunscreen on him first. Man I love being a mom. So cute!

Then Bowdee comes in to me and asks me to fix his dragon slayer necklace he was wearing. Of course I said no big deal just put it on my desk. He said "Mom I feel like Orvill Wright because he thought his mom could do anything and I know my mom can."

Then as Matia was out picking strawberries with me she said "Mom your the best, I love being with you." Just out of the blue, I love being with my kids I love being the one they turn to for help, I love being here for them! Thanks Terry for making this possible.
