SummerTime 2011

So far, this summer has been a blur/whirlwind of juggling daily swim team practices, weekend swim meets, vacation bible school's, lot's of library time, swimming at Lifetime, lot's of playdates, friday family fun days, board games, daily chores, behavior charts, bike rides, slip and slide, gardening, magic shows, dental work, errands, legoland, flash cards, math homework, reading logs, cookout's, s'mores, crafts, outdoor concerts, walks to the park, gym time, churning lot's of homemade ice cream, birthday parties, church, with just small dose of rest and relaxation in the mix. Whew.... we've only been on summer break for 2.5 weeks! But hey, they are only young once, right? Once swim team is over for the summer, that will free up some time for us... and they both have a camp coming up in August: Lincoln chose to go to a Mad Science robot camp, and Lawson chose to go to a Lego camp. And they both get to do a gymnastics camp! We have a family reunion/trip in July... which is the highlight of our summer.
Here are a few pictures of the boys swim meet this weekend. They are such good swimmers!!! I'm such a proud mommy! And Lennox loves the water, too... so he will fit right in with our family!

Lawson!!! He is the only 5 yr old boy on their team. He keeps right up with the big boys, and has won 2 1st place blue ribbons in the 25meter backstroke!

Lennox vs Lawson

It's always fun to take a stroll down memory lane and see what my 1st 2 boys were doing at the exact same age as Lennox is now. When Lawson was the same age as Lennox, he had broken his foot and was in a cast! Here is a video of him, cast and all.... Amazing how much he and Lennox resemble each other at this age... I kept thinking I was watching a video of Lennox! One big difference is that Lawson had a lot more hair than Lennox does now!
Watch here to see for yourself!!!
