It's been a week and a lot of stuff has happened.
It won't surprise anyone to know that Taylor won three ribbons at her first swim meet. She is having a blast and the ribbons are just icing on the cake. She won the 50 m back stroke, she got second in the 25 m breast stroke, and fourth in the 50 m freestyle. I think she would have done better in the freestyle but she lost her goggles and it threw her off. She had a coach help her at practice to keep her head up and goggles on....so hopefully it won't happen again.
After her Mesquite meet, we drove down to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway to meet a guy about a train. He was selling a big 8 foot wooden train online and I bought it, but instead of shipping it (expensive), I told him I could meet him...so we drove down and picked it up. It was Scott's Father's Day present...it is now above our front door on the plant shelf and it looks just perfect. (Scott will post a picture soon.)
Tuesday Bella came to stay for a couple days and today we have another friend's daughter...her parents are in China for two weeks and they've farmed out the kids every couple of days or so. It's been fun to have more girls in the house.
No swim meets this week, but next Wednesday she has one here in St. George. Shaylie is finishing up her lessons this week, and she is much improved, but I am thinking of signing her up for another session. She'll love it and it can't but help. It depends on if there are any openings or not. We have to wait and see.
As for me, I am having a good summer. The kids haven't been too bored and we've had lots to keep us occupied. I could probably use some alone time, but that will happen soon enough. Scott is having a good time with his trains...he had train meeting again last night and he and his friend James are coming along with plans for their business.
More news soon...
Hey thanks again for watching Bella. I hope she had a good time. You guys really saved my butt once again. Thanks. Love ya.
ReplyDeleteHope Scott is OK with the bleeding thing... Yes leaving Shay is still good, looking forward to it....Congrats Taylor what a girl... I am thinking of coming to St.George Monday next week. Anissa has been here helping me with Greats house. She is expecting Pam and Cheryl so we have been helping her with the house.
ReplyDeleteShe also has been helping me with the patio.Although not as fast as I would like . Dad got a diamond blade to cut the blocks and it really does work better so we can cut faster and much better. It was way to hot today....Well then again you do live in ST. George, but you
Papa has also had some problems. He is on oxygen and has to take it easy. he also has home health care coming in to the house to help. He said when all his friend had their oxygen and home health they were goners.
