Swim Team Update

Swim Team is over. Hunter and Hayden have improved their swimming abilities dramatically! This has been really fun for them. Hayden has already told me he wants to be signed up for next year. Hayden won four of his heats, 3 freestyle and 1 backstroke. Hunter was able to win 1 heat and we were surprised he did it in backstroke!! (They kept putting Hunter in the same heat as Hayden and physically Hunter can't beat Hayden. Poor big brother, it is so hard to have your younger brother be bigger than you.) I was just so happy Hunter was able to win at least one. They had a banquet last night and gave out trophies and special awards. Hayden got the award for most improved in the boys ages 7-8. He was so proud because his coached said he always worked hard and whether he won or lost he was a good sport about it. It was fun while it lasted but I am glad to be done. They had practice every M-F at 10:00. Anyways, I just want to say GOOD JOB guys, you made me proud.

PIZZA!!

Colin had to have his own big piece of pizza because he has to do what his big brothers are doing. He would open his mouth so big to get as much pizza as he could in it.

Questions

My friend Nichole sent me some questions to answer on my blog. So here are the answers.
1-If you had an extra 3 hours a day what would you spend it on?
I hope this is an extra 3 hours that the kids are sleeping because I could get a lot more done. I would love to spend that time by being creative (exp. making cards) getting a spa treatment or reading an actual grown up book. I would definitely want to spend that time on myself. But I know that I would probably use it to just clean the house like I do all the time anyways.

2-What's the one thing that's changed most with having kids?
The very first night that we brought Hunter home from the hospital, Ryan and I got ourselves ready to go to bed and then we realized that the baby was still awake. We looked at each other like "OK, how do we put him to sleep?" That is when I first realized I would not get to sleep anytime I wanted too for a long time.

3-If you were given $10,000 and had to spend it on travel, where would you go?
Fiji. My favorite vacation is always laying on the beach.

4-What's your favorite restaurant? What's your favorite meal?
My favorite restaurant in called Timbermine Steak House in Ogden UT. They serve my favorite meal shrimp scampi. I'm craving it just thinking about it.

5-What will your life be like in 10 years?
In ten years my oldest son will be preparing for his mission. I don't want to think about that. My youngest son will almost be a deacon. I will have been married to Ryan for 21(I'm sure wonderful) years. I'm sure that we will be crazy busy.

OK Nichole, now it is your turn to answer the same questions on your blog.

The Fourth

OK, I forgot my camera on the fourth so I thought I would post this picture so you can see how much fun we had. (We partied at a friends house) I don't know what it is about this ottoman that draws Noah to sleep on it but it does. When we walked in the house I went and put Colin in his crib and I got Noah's pajamas so I could get him changed. I looked all over the house and couldn't find him. I know from now on to just look on the ottoman. The thing I love most about this picture is the white thing in his hand is ribs wrapped in a napkin. We had to pry it out of his hands to put it in the fridge. This boy Loves his meat. Hmmm... could he be just like his dad?
