Namah's Visit

My mom came out for a week, and we put her to work.  Actually, I mentioned that I wanted to clean out two closets and she attacked them both.  We had a fun week of organizing, swimming, game playing and reading.  Kids always love company.  View Album for more pictures.

Swim Awards/Track meet

The swim team awards night was at our pool.  It was very informal with a lot of swimming and eating...and raining:).  All the kids received a trophy, and Cadynce was given a bigger trophy for her efforts in the Butterfly event.  So proud of both of them.  View Album for awards and track meet.

Stations

We were in serious need of some outside time and exercise.  We all worked together to come up with 10 stations to set up around our cul-de-sac.  Here was our list...

1.  Jump rope
2.  Squats
3.  Run in place
4.  Push ups
5.  Jumping Jacks
6.  Rest/water
7.  Step ups
8.  Froggy jumps
9.  Push press
10.  Lateral jumps

Our two neighbor friends saw us outside and joined our workout.  Each station was 30 seconds, and they loved every second of it.  View Album for more pictures.

Summer at Little Gym

Colbie and I did a month long class at the Little Gym.  It was so fun spending this time with Colbie...she had a blast.  I took pics at our last class today...and she was so excited that Daddy, Cadynce, Donnie, and Damon all came to watch her.  View Album for more pictures.

Birthday Celebration

I was so excited when Don told me he was taking the day off work for my birthday.  I quickly made arrangements to get away from the kids we love:)  I had my friend watch Cadynce and Donnie, and our babysitter come watch Colbie and Damon...we were planning to be gone all day.  We spent our day horseback riding through the hill country and shopping.  When we got home, we went out for dinner and cupcakes.  View Album for my awesome birthday:)

Championships

Cadynce and Donnie both swam at the championship meet on Saturday.  They both did an awesome job in their last race of the season.  View Album for more pictures.
