Wow this week has been a busy one. Of course we are always super excited to have a baseball game but lately our little team has been struggling. Jacob has been in a bit of a batting slump and was VERY frustrated but last game he was first at bat and the first pitch he hit a homerun! He ws sooo excited, he hit the ball the other two times up to bat as well an got a double and a triple. Our team lost again but I think Jake's confidence at the plate is back so this weeks game should be fun! Thomas had a swim meet in Logan and so we spent the weekend freezing beside the outdoor pool. He did great, he won 4 out of 6 events and got his best time in a couple. He starts long course training this week so to do that we his first long course meet with no long course training is awesome.
The other day his coach made him swim a 5000 which is 3 1/2 miles. He got out of the pool and his coach told him that he better go home and get a good nights rest because he was going to swim it again in the morning and he was going to do it in under an hour. Thomas was not thrilled about this, in fact he was down right angry. But, he got himself up at 5 a.m and drove to the pool and swam it again and h did it in under an hour. So he swam 7 miles in less than 24 hours. Ouch!
Last Sunday Maddi helped Jake make a solar eclipse box so he could see the eclipse. We didn't think it would work but they got it to. Wow college kids and 4th graders are so smart.
Today was Memorial day and so we took the family on a hike, it was really fun and we had a picnic after. Only 4 more days of school. I know some mom's hate the end of school but I can't wait for it to be done! I love having the kids home. I love summer!!!! I don't want to wish the summer away but I can't wait for August 15th!!!
Also, Mitch was transferred and he will be emailing on Saturdays now so if you read his blog, watch for his updates on Saturdays now.
