Swim Lessons

June 1, 2017

Like last year and the year before that, we did two weeks of swim lessons every day with Coach Laura. The first day Baby wasn’t quite so sure…

and there were lots of tears each time it was her turn. But she also figured out that getting to play on “the beach” in between turns was pretty fun!

Second day, still skeptical…

and still lots of tears during her turn.

Third day she was starting to doubt…

but then thought about it…

and decided swimming was really fun and there were NO MORE TEARS from that point forward! hooray!

Going every day for two weeks is a haul but it’s worth it – and lots of fun when you get to do it with some buddies!

Baby is a jumping, kicking, and almost-but-not-quite-swimming by herself machine. Spencer did fantastic as well and improved every day. Maxwell continued to be a great swimmer and was doing breast stroke by the end!

Also, kids in goggles are funny…

Firebombs!

May 23, 2017

I already told you about the great first game of the soccer season with the Firebombs. The season continued to go up from there! Spencer truly had a great time this year. He had some really good players on his team and he held his own with all of them. He hustled, went after the ball, scored lots of goals, and had fun! He even got competitive and managed to heckle the opposing teams a few times! ha!

Heading out to field looking fierce…

The most “fun” part of soccer is having to entertain Samantha on the sidelines. Most of the time she was content to sit in the chair as long as she had a never ending supply of gummies in the cup holder. But, when she did run, I was thankful to have Maxwell to drag her back some of the times!

Maxwell was actually a big help for Coach Robert by catching out of bounds balls and kicking them out of the goal. Samantha wasn’t so much of a help but she did think she was a member of the team and could be found at every after game break-down!

Spencer played so hard all season…
