Swim Team

This is the second summer that our girls have been a part of the local swim team. I think for the most part they really love it!! The program starts the first week in June and runs through the second week of July, so it keeps us busy and gives us a reason to get dressed in the morning. I could only imagine what our days would be like if we didn't have that. The girls both have lots of friends that are also on the swim team, which is probably why my girls enjoy it so much!


The girls both participated in three different meets, which means we have lots of ribbons!!! This was the first year we participated in conference. The girls did really well. Makayla was a part of a relay and her team got 4th place. Marissa was in an individual heat and was also in a relay. Her relay team got 2nd! I have to say conference was a really long day, I'm glad we participated in it, but wow....that was a long day!!! Conference was about 30 minutes away and the day started with a thunderstorm and down pour, which delayed everything back about an hour or more. The things we do for our kids.....and this mom and dad wouldn't have it any other way!




Here is Makayla jumping/diving off the block....

Welcome to our home at Christmas. When I heard that Boomama was going to be having a Christmas Tour of Homes , I thought that sounded like so much fun because so many of our family and friends aren't able to make it out to visit us during the Christmas season. So here are a few pictures of our home decorated for Christmas. As you walk in our front door we have this little tree sitting in our entry way As you can see I really like snowman! This is leading into the family room... This tree is in our family room and it is decorated with all of our family ornaments. Each year we buy the girls an ornament that represents something from the year for that child. It is a tradition that I have continued from my childhood. My favorite ornaments are the ones that are homemade by the girls! This is our big tree that is more formally decorated and is in our living room. This is our third year with an artificial tree which is definitely less messy but we have had lots of fun with the pre-lite l

1 Year Later

Just the other day I was looking back at some of my posts and realized that I started our family blog 1 year ago this month. I can't believe it has already been a year. My first post was about celebrating the 4th of July at Mark and Jane's. On Friday we will be heading out to Mark and Jane's for another great 4th with our friends. I have really enjoyed keeping up with our family blog. I hope that you have also enjoyed reading each of my posts. My main reason for doing this blog was to keep in touch with our friends and family through various postings. I know that there are many of you who at one point or another have said to me that you have read our blog, I am just curious who is out there and reading this. So....in honor of our 1 year anniversary if you are reading this....please leave us a comment letting us know.
