To sum it up.......

We are done with swim team for the year....yesterday was the last early morning swim meet we had to get up for. Hunter swam in Divisionals...he did so great this year, positive attitude, strong swimming...I am so proud of him.
Last night we had our awards ceremony and end of the season big dance called the Tuckahoe Ball. The kids have such a great time at it every year. Sienna loves it too. She loves to dance and all the sweet older girls are so cute with her.
I love swim team but man oh man I am happy we are done! I am so excited to not have to wake up and rush out the door for the whole day. Packed with pool bags, lunches, towels, goggles...seriously put a fork in me because I am DONE!
Football is starting next week but at least it's at night.
So here are some pictures from the swim season.....


The Whirlpool... they do it every Friday...they run around this little pool and then float and it swirls them around.
Fridays were Fun Friday. Every week they got to do something fun after practice. Pinatas one week, relays one week, doughnut eating, ice creme Sunday's, arts and crafts. The kids loved it.





Jackson and his cousin Henry.....



Lunch at a Pizza place for the 9-10 boys


This was at the Divisional relays which we won! Out of 6 pools in our division.
Very exciting! We actually didn't loose one meet the whole year.
We go back up to Division 1 next summer. Bittersweet.

The Ball....Hunter...I loved watching them all dance all night.













Some of the moms...we spend so much time together we feel like one big family.......
We decided next year we were going to do a spa day after everythings all over.

So it went really fast. My kids all had fun (except Cooper who is fighting me tooth and nail on swimming) and I am sad it's over in a way. Not ready for summer to end that's for sure! Good thing we still have a month in a half!

Oh and today at 4:30 am Conwey's sister Summer and her husband Sean had a sweet baby girl! Delivered by Conwey's other sister Sierra who is a midwife. Summer did it with no drugs if you can believe that and we didn't know what she was having. We were all surprised it was a girl for some reason. Luisa Betty is her name after their grandmothers. Can't wait to go hold her!!!
Congratulations guys! We love you!

What a fun summer! I am so envious of swim team families, we never belonged to a pool when I was growing up but Tuckahoe wasn't far from our house when we lived neat the Stake center off of Great Falls Street.

You all look fabulously tan from your long days at the pool. Enjoy the rest of your summer, school begins here in less than three weeks, yikes!!
