Just wanted to check in and let everyone know what we're up to....
It's very hot here in St. George. We've been keeping cool by heading to the pool nearly everyday. We also have our backyard pool to splash in, which is nice as always. The kids and their friends love to come cool off! Shaylie is doing very well in her swimming lessons! I am no longer afraid that she will drown in the big pool...although sometimes she looks like she might go under and not come back up....it's just her swimming style. She can actually swim quite far in pretty deep water.
Taylor had her second big swim meet...she didn't win any ribbons I think...she was swimming new strokes. She did the 25m butterfly, the 25m breast, and the 100m IM. That last one was hard for her...she crawled out of the pool with her last bit of strength. I was so proud of her...she gave it her best shot. It's good experience and I can't believe how well she is doing in this first season!
We are heading up to Holden this weekend for the Fourth of July...Grandpa Heath is celebrating his 82nd birthday...He is amazing! Mom says he is not doing so well, but this is definitely a milestone birthday for him. His actual birthday is on July 10th, but Aunt Pam is going to be here for the 4th and Mom will be in California on the 10th so this is a good time to celebrate! I hope he is feeling better soon....Our prayers are with you, Grandpa! We love you!
Hope everyone has a terrific Fourth of July weekend! We are glad to be escaping the heat...Might even get some rain...Love it! Love to everyone....
Hi, just getting caught up with everyone's blogs (I say, optimistic that everyone is blogging!) I am so proud of Taylor for being so competitive and enthusiastic about the swimming. We are studying her schedule and trying to figure out how to get down to a meet. It will be fun to go swimming with both Taylor & Shaylie. I am so glad to hear how well Shaylie is doing. Keep it up & you will get even better.
ReplyDeletePam & I just got back from Orem. We took Papa & Viola down for 3 wedding receptions in the old ward. His old bishop's son got married on Fri, his daughter on Sat, and the next door neighbors daughter also got married on Sat. We went down on Fri and made the 1st reception, got up Sat and went to visit Papa's sister-in-law and her family, Pam's cousins from AZ. Later we went to the two receptions. On Sun we had a big BBQ with all of Dede's family and then home today. (I hope we didn't wear out the old people, Pam & I are beat!!).
No plans for the 4th except to do nothing & then try and keep up momentum.
Love to everyone from Dad & Pam (Oh, tell Clyde Happy Birthday from us. He deserves one of the best birthdays ever!! - I hope that he gets to feeling better soon)
