I had dreaded today since we had to get up so early! 6am to be exact. I haven't done that since school was in session. Luckily, last night I got most of the stuff prepared for this morning. I choose to get a babysitter for the little boys and headed off across town for the 9am swimmeet. Since fighting with them wasn't my idea of a good time. My kids have had their fair share of babysitters, but they get really excited when Kirk comes over. I am sure it has something to do with being a boy. He is a really great kid! Since our family hasn't seen the kids swim. Here are some videos I took this morning.....Taylor swimming 25M freestyle
Jared 25M freestyle
I have no idea what he was doing after he dove off the side.
I thought he sank until, I saw him pop up. Hilarious!

Taylor 25M breast stroke. For some reason I can turn the video--sorry!
They had 2 heats and the other girls in her heat didn't show up, so Taylor swam solo.
I guess it really doesn't matter since you are racing against the clock.
This is by far Taylor's best stroke. (oddly, it was mine as well)

We have one more meet which is divisionals next Friday. Divisionals are when they compete against 7 other teams instead of just one. In order to move on to "All Stars" you have to place 1st or 2nd. This will definitely be more challenging this year since we moved up a division. Over all, the kids had a great time this season. They may not be the fastest swimmers, but they seemed to really enjoy it. Oh, and I failed to mention the other day Jared lost his fourth tooth. Looks like someone else in our family is going to become richer besides Taylor. Welcome to the ackward stage in life! Ahhhhh.
good deed: played a game with the kids.

I'm impressed your kids are such strong swimmers, it must be a thrill to see them in action like that.
That mouthful of teeth is funny, kids always looks so busted it's hilarious.
Cute picture of Jared! Thanks for sharing the swim meets with us. They are so fast. My girls start their first lessons in two weeks, very excited. Have a great sunday tomorrow! Thanks for all your comments on my blog.
Great swimming and CUTE smile!!
Funny that he only lost 1 on the bottom before losing the two top ones in front. My kids have always lost the bottom ones first.
Your kids did great!! They are awesome swimmers!
Gotta love the smile! Too cute!
How fun to have the swim meets. WE just don't get that here. My kids love to swim and I know they would enjoy that.
I love the mouth picture. Cameron is just starting that fun stage.
So you are such a cool mom for taking Taylor to see the Jonas brothers. My kids love them.
I love that your kids are competitively swimming. What a great skill for them to have.
That's a great toothy or not so toothy grin! Love the photo. I would love to have a photo of what my mouth looked like with missing teeth. Our kids are so lucky to grow up in the day and age of digital cameras and camera happy- blogging moms.
6am - ouch!
It is so wonderful to share something you love with your kids. How fun that you are a swimmer, and now they are too!
Love the teeth picture. And I'm continually amazed that you're so continually on the go with your littles. Very fun that they're so involved in swim.
The teeth picture is so funny- there is just something about those awkward stage pictures...
Very cool to do the swim meets. My sister did those growing up and it was fun to watch.
What a cute picture of Jared! It looks like everyone had a good day at the meet!
Hope you all are surviving the weekend. Talk to you soon.
I can't believe the regular swim meets are already over. They all did awesome. I still can't get my videos to upload to blogger. It is driving me crazy.
Jared is cracking me up with that smile. He is so funny. I dread when Maci starts loosing her teeth. She just is so little to have big teeth. She will join the funny lookin' kids stage then for sure.
