Swim Conference 2013

Swim Conference was Saturday, July 27th at Knox County.  Which meant we got to get up really early, 4:00 a.m.!  The boys swam in the morning to qualify for finals, which were to be swam in the afternoon.  The top 16 times got to swim in finals and place 17&18 got to be alternates.  Both boys qualified to swim in conference finals.  Yay!  The Rays placed 3rd overall.  Great swim season!

They both got sticks that said "I cut my time!" and then got to get a prize out of the prize box.

VBS - Catch Up Part 4

Our church did VBS a little different this year. We had VBS for one night, July 19th, from 5:00-midnight.  I think we made it to around 9:30.  Here are a few pics from that night.

We finished our All-Star season last weekend.  Between swim and baseball, we've been very busy.  Here are a few pictures from the season.

So proud of our MVP
Will got MVP of the 2013 Battle on Green River Tournament
He was chosen by the people who hosted the tournament.  Great Job Will!

Had to throw in a pic of Walker.  Here is Walker batting for the Parent/Coaches vs. All-Stars Game they played one day at practice.  They had so much fun, and Walker was glad he got to be part of it!

And as always, we must take a goofy picture.

Swim Catch Up Post

We've had a VERY busy summer, and LOVED every bit of it!  Hard to believe school is starting very soon.  Will and Walker were both part of the Rays swim team again this year.  And since they are early birds we opted for the 8:15 am practice M-Th.  They have both improved so much!  Here are a few pictures from random meets.  Saturday(the 27th) was the conference and swim will be finished for a while.  Pics from conference coming soon.

 

Walker with his RAY on his back.  Now he's ready to swim!

Cousin Alexa also swam this year.  These two are a mess!

Will and Walker both got Star Performer Ribbons at the LWC swim meet.  Great Job Guys!  Mom and Dad are so proud of you both!!!

Summer Catch Up - starting with WKU baseball camp

July 8-11th Will got to participate in the WKU baseball camp.  He had a great time, learned more about baseball, and had fun with his friends.

Walker asked me a million times, "I get to do this next year, right?"  So he relaxed, enjoyed the very hot weather, and learned some baseball from the sidelines.

 Will's friends that were also at the camp;  Clay, Weston, Will & Benjamin.  They always want to take a silly picture.

And Will's favorite part of the camp was the last day when they practiced their sliding technique on the slip and slide.
