Swim team ROCKS








Well we had our first swim meet today and boy was it fun! We are really enjoying it especially since so many of our friends from our church family are on the same team. The Morleys and Fergusons are great people and we have a blast carpooling and hanging out with them before, during, and after practices. One of the highlights was that my little sister, Lindsey, came to watch since we were so close to her office. She was a real trooper watching in the heat on her lunch hour. Here are some pics from the fun today.

Well, well, well! Brent & Shahna
Argyle are alive and well! This is Rebecca McCumber Layton from the good ol' Matrix Marketing days and Lakeview Manor Apts. How are you guys doing? I was 'blog stalking' and saw an Argyles in Texas link and thought, What are the chances? Can't believe it's you! I've got 5 kids, too, been married 18 years this August and we've been in Vegas for 17. I'd love to hear from you!

Hi again!
I don't know anyone on your blog...just someone who knows someone who knows someone, etc. I was just clicking on links and stumbled upon yours. I was the girl at Matrix that did all the hiring. (I was a bit of a b-word when I worked there...sorry!) I started out in QA and then moved on to do the hiring. I hired Brent, in fact. Also, I was engaged to the VERY creepy Gary Riehle for awhile when we were all working there. Ring a bell yet? After D & I got married we lived right upstairs from you guys at Lakeview Manor.

Shahna--If you show your girls a crash test video of Booster seat vs...seat belt alone I bet they won't complain anymore. Or you can show them the the 5 criteria they have to meet before a seatbelt alone is safe. P never complains (of course he is not in school yet....) But he sees other kids in nothing and says I guess they don't want to be safe. He has seen the crash tests and understands:) thanks for the support....you make me feel less neurotic!

You guys look like you're having way too much fun this summer! I never was on a swim team, but my best friend Carly was. I remember going to her practices in the morning, then hanging out at the pool all day with her. So much fun! It's fun to see a picture of Lindsay too! I'm glad to see she's doing well.

I think swim team is such a great sport for kids. I would choose that over hot days on a soccer field any day.

Builders vs. Wreckers

Image
A little poem I heard from John Bytheway on a BYU fireside (on BYUTV) today. Makes me stop and go "hmmmmm....." I might have another resolution to add to my growing list..... Builders vs. Wreckers I passed one day through a lonely town And saw men tearing a building down. With a ho-heave-ho and a husky yell They swung at a beam and a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled- The kind you’d hire if you had to build?” “Oh no!” he chuckled, “No indeed- The common laborer is all I need.” “Why I can destroy in a day or two What builders have taken weeks to do.” I thought to myself as I went on my way “Which of these rolls have I tried to play? Am I the builder who works with care Strengthening lives by rule and square, Shaping my peers to a well made plan- Helping them do the best they can- Or am I a wrecker who walks around Content with the labor of tearing down?” -Author Unknown

Surprise McKinley!

Image
A week ago, McKinley's best friend, Caty, texted me and asked if she could throw McKinley a surprise birthday party on her birthday.  The girls had been challenged by their Young Women leaders to do a 10 hour project for Individual Worth and she thought it would make a great project to plan a fun party for her! She invited 14 fun friends to join in on the surprise. I wish I would have taken the time to take a picture of the cute chocolate fountain and home made cupcakes she made.  She had blown up about 20 balloons and when McKinley walked in to the house they jumped out and showered her with shredded paper. Then they went swimming.  Yes, in November and NO, they had not heated the pool. kiki and  Lexie   with Emily  and Molly  and Mallory  and Kylie H.  and Kaly   the Lloyd twins and Abbey  Megan  Kaylie W.  Michaela  and Kylie P who had celebrated her birthday with a party the night before.
