Future Olympian 2024?




One more post about swim team - mostly for my family-because they wanted an update. Coach "T" told us at the awards ceremony tonight that Reagan was the 8th best backstroker in the city (just under 2500 total swimmers!) for her age group. WOW! Next step, the OLYMPICS 2024???
The girls with their coach, Tammy.
All 4 kids with both coaches Coach "T" and Tammy.

McKinley filled in as an alternate and won two ribbons also.

Tanner competed with his relay team and they won 7th and 15th place.


As an aside: Don't feel bad for Jensen that she wasn't a part of ALLSTARS. She was so happy to be able to sit in the stands and cheer on her siblings. She realized that she liked all the long distance running the coaches were having her do as part of the conditioning and she has decided to go out for the cross country team at Middle School. Expect some running posts in the Fall!

How fun! It looks like you had a blast! It seems you have some great swimmers on your hands. What a way to spend the summer!

To answer your question, it was Taco Bueno. We also went to Buffalo Wild Wings with Jason. Two yummy restaurants that aren't in Utah that Walt and I love to go to now we're back in Texas.

I can't wait till Zoey's old enough to swim on her own and participate in sports/music and fun activities! I miss having you in the ward! Can you send me your e-mail addy? I'd like to send you an E-vite.

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.
