Early Jumpstart

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.
