Little Fish!



This summer I had BOTH Treygan and Kyra on the city Swim Team. Treygan has been on the team the last three summers, but this was Kyra's first year. They both improved so much it was a great experience for both of them. The final meet of the summer was the county meet and all of the qualifying swimmers from the entire county swam against eachother. In Kyra's age group there were 17 swimmers. She took fifth place in backstroke and 10th in freestyle. Treygan took 11th place in his backstroke and his freestyle relay team was 5th. His age group was 9 and 10 year olds and had about 24 swimmers. He is looking forward to being one of the oldest in the group next year!

It's Official! We are building a new house!

For a few years, Evan and I have been trying to decide if we should leave our wonderful neighborhood and build a home in Elk Ridge. We have wanted a larger home for a while now, (3 girls in one room is just not so much fun anymore), but we love the neighborhood and our friends. However, the desire for a larger home has won the battle. (We hope our friends will still hang out with us!) We visited our lot today and found a very large hole in the ground! We are very excited! As this will be the highlight of our lives for a few months, you might see a few more posts about the house as we progress through this fun project of building a home.
