Champs 2013

After a long day at Championships for swim team we gathered at our home pool for fun, good food and closing ceremonies.  This is backtracking a bit...July, 2013.




Georgia's swimming peeps.  Kate Mulliner and Isabelle Macdonald.  
 
 
 
 
 
This is my oldest son.  How is this my son?  He's almost 5'6 and he's truly a young man now.  What's happening?  Life, I guess.  :) 

 
The ceremony begins...
 
 
Meanwhile...she is wowing the crowd with her finesse.  She always has me put my earrings on her ears and she thinks she is "wearing" them.  I have to hook them on to the upper part of her ear.  She's something else, this one.
 
 
 
Finn and Shane...great friends.  I asked them to smile and this is what I got.
  
Congratulations to these swimmers.  Kalen and Reece both made MVP for their team and age group.  Georgia medal-ed for the medley relay race.  She swam as the anchor and pulled her team from fifth to third place, which put her team in the top three.   Reece placed 1st for his butterfly stroke out of 65 boys at Champs!!!  First!!!  And Kalen placed in the top three in every race he swam at champs.  Gwyneth took two first place ribbons.  She is not in any of these pictures because she stayed home from the after party.  After swimming all day at champs, as soon as we got home she fell asleep on the couch.  I was not going to wake her up.

Great job to you kids!!!  You have your awesome dad to thank for the gills that you've inherited!!!!!

PS. When we go home, Gwyneth was still asleep.  I don't know how these kids do it.  :)

  2. Look at your little champs! That is so awesome!
    Love all the picture of your kids with their swim friends, especially the one of Finn and Shane. Can't believe how old they're getting! I pretty much think of kids as the age they were when I move into a ward, so in my mind, Shane should always be a toddler. :)
