What a Weekend!!

We had a really good weekend!! On Friday night, Scott worked on his 4-wheeler and then decided he needed to wash both vehicles!! Our neighbor across the street invited us over to sit by her fire and we ended up staying way to late. On Saturday morning, Scott headed to Tea, SD to help is granmda get ready for her auction. The kids and I rode our bikes to my brother's house for my nephew's birthday party! The kids had a blast playing on the slides they have. After the birthday party, the kids and I headed over to the Hillcrest Acquatic Center. After being there for a short 20 minutes, I decided to jump in the pool and play with the kids. Right as I was jumping in, the lifeguards blew the wistle saying they saw lighting! So needless to say, i got wet for nothing! Since we had ridden our bikes, I figured we needed to head home fast in case a storm was coming! We made it home safe and sound. That evening Scott's brother Matt and his wife Jill came over to visit and sit by the fire! It was a beautiful night!! On Sunday, all 4 of us went to the pool. Boy, were we all exhausted when we finally arrived home! I told Scott I needed a vacation day after the weekend we had!! But all in all, we had an awesome weekend!!

Some other news, Hunter started his wrestling camp today. He will be riding his bike from the boys and girls club to the high school and then from the high school to the pool. He made it ok from the boys and girls club to the high school. But I guess he got lost from the high school to the pool. But he finally was able to find the pool! It is scary letting Hunter ride his bike by himself!! But he seemed to make it ok to both places!! My little boy is getting bigger!!!

Swimming Lessons have Ended!!

Today was the last day of swimming lessons for Hunter and Mackenzie. They spent most of the time jumping off the diving boards. Hunter was in level 3 and Mackenzie was in level 2. Next summer they will both be in level 3. Hunter did not pass and Mackenzie did. (Which really surprised me on both!!) So needless to say, Hunter was in tears this afternoon. I tried making him feel better by telling him this way, they can both be in the same level and swim together. But he wasn't liking that idea to much. He will get over being sad, but it might actually take a while this time. He is so sensitive!!!

Summer Activities have Started!!

Well its official, summer has started, or at least my kids activites have. Today is their first day of swimming lessons! They will be going Monday through Thursday until June 19th. Mackenize will start cheerleading on June 12th. T-ball practice for Hunter has started and his games will start on June 10th. The end of June, Hunter will attend a 4-day wrestling camp. In July, Mackenize will attend Safety Town for 2 weeks and Hunter will get his first opportunity to have golf lessons. Both kids are very excited about all the activities they get to be to involved in. Me, on the other hand, I tend to get a really anxious about how I am going to get them to each event. But we always seem to manage it each summer!! We hope everybody is able to enjoy their summer and I will be sure to keep you updated on how the kids summer activites are going!!
