Maxwell got the opportunity to go to the lake a few weekends ago with his friend, Gray. Let’s just say he’s ready to go back!!
He also got up on the ski board on his first try!! Go Maxwell Go!
Loving that lake life!

We got to go to our first official in person swim meet last week! Last year, all of the swim meets were virtual which was great and easy but we are back to in person meets this year. This was the first one of the season and it was at Country Club of Birmingham. My two swimmers were ready to go!
So many cute friends on the swim team!
The whole team was ready to get warmed up…
and then the lightning alarm sounded. Ugh. After a 30 minute wait we finally got to swim! Samantha was up first in a freestyle relay. She swam so hard!
Unfortunately they came in last but they were in an 8 and under category so competing against kids two years older than them! I was so proud of her!
Spencer was also in a freestyle relay…
They ended up getting 2nd place!!…out of only 2 teams but, still! They’ll get that 2nd place ribbon. So proud of my swimmer!!
Unfortunately Spencer had to leave right after this to head to a baseball game. We were hoping it get at least one other event in but the rain delay messed that up.
Samantha then did her individual events – freestyle, breaststroke and backstroke.
She was the heat winner for breaststroke!!
She ended up getting disqualified for doing a scissor kick at some point but that’s ok. She still got that heat ribbon! She didn’t win the heat ribbon for backstroke but ended up 3rd place overall so will get a ribbon for that! Woohoo!
A really fun night and a great learning experience! Can’t wait to do it again tonight!
All 3 kids are doing swim team again this year. It’s back to regular schedule with both a morning and afternoon practice. You can go to either or both – there have been many days my kid have gone to both! They really enjoy it and it’s so great for them so I am happy to get them up there for it! Friday is popsicle day so that’s always an extra incentive to go at the end of the week…
On Friday they also give the award for Guppy of the Week for the younger kids and Swimmer of the Week for the older kids. Guess who got Guppy of the Week last week?!
Go Samantha go!! She has worked so hard and was at practice twice a day I think every day that week! Hard work pays off for sure. We also did a mock meet to get some practice in for the first real swim meet and all 3 kids did great. Samantha was even a heat winner!
We love swim team!
I’ve mentioned it before but tennis is my newest obsession. I’d play everyday if I could – and practically do! Having the kids home this summer is sort of cramping my tennis style but I’m making it work. 😉 Before school was out I did play in the Member Guest tournament at Vestavia Country Club with my friend, Angie. We had a lot of fun and ended up the big winners!!
Woohoo!
I’ve also been doing cardio tennis a lot and each day the winning pair gets to be “Queen”! It sure is fun to be queen!
I even earned queen one day with no partner! Woohoo!
I’ve had so much fun with my 2.5 group but our tennis pro just moved me up so I get to start practicing with the 3.0 now! Woohoo again! It’s been fun with the 2.5 ladies. We’re a match set! ha!
Finally, it’s time for my protege’s training to begin. Have you ever seen a cuter rookie?!
Tennis fun for all!
Rewinding it back to last month before school was out…
Maxwell’s class finally got to go on some field trips! They went to Vulcan and also to the zoo…
Fun! Spencer didn’t get to to go on a field trip but the zoo came to him…
Whoa! School sure was fun..but summer is more fun!
