Spring & Start of Summer

Kyle, Knox, and Benjamin at Kyle's wedding - It was the most relaxing/non-stressful wedding ever (plus, lots of fun!). Great job Kyle and Kate.

Wow! I can not believe we are into summer. This spring has flown by. We finished baseball with a pain staking loss in the quarter finals of the tourney. Both our boys had a great final game so they were okay with it. Plus, we were in the middle of swim, so we just moved on to the next sport. For 3 weeks, we did both, it was crazy having b-ball practice 3 x per week and swim 4 x a week. Our lives slowed down once we just had swim team. The only thing I can say about swim team is " I LOVE IT"! Our whole family is involved and it is great. We practice 4 days a week and then meets on Saturday. We have had 2 and the boys are doing great. The both compete in the freestyle relay, both weeks their team placed 2nd. They each do freestyle and Carter tried backstroke this last meet. B is trying breast this coming meet. Ryan and I are zookeepers for the 6 and under boys, we have a blast trying to keep up with them. Ryan even competed in the parent relay. His team won, you should have seen the boys cheering him on. During swim team, we have to write their race and heat number on their back with a sharpie. When they found out that Ryan was racing they had to draw on his back too. Ben wrote, "my dad swims faster than your dad", and Carter drew a Stingray (our mascot).

I can't believe Kinder is already over. Ben's teacher retired, so we are starting over fresh with Carter next year. His teacher drilled in him not to have the "summer slide". So we are reading every chance we get! We have lots of activities planned this summer; plus, we will spend countless hours at the pool for my little fish!
