Our New House!!!

As some of you may know, we are having a house built for us. We are very excited!! It should be done in September sometime. Here are just the basics: 1472 sq ft ranch with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths on main floor and main floor laundry. It has a triple garage. Once the basement is done it will have 2 more bedrooms and one more bath with a large family room and a nice size storage room. Kaitlyn is ready to do a Olympic swimming theme in her room and Kristin just wants blue walls with hot pink ballerinas.



Once the basement is done, the girls will move downstairs and we will have an office and a guest bedroom. Take a look at the pictures of our home.

Swim Meet

Swimming her 200 free only 2 events after her difficult 100 fly!!! Go Kaitlyn!!

On Kaityn's 9th Birthday she had a swim meet. It was her first swim meet swimming in the 10 and under group. She had some very hard races. She had never swam more than a 50 butterfly and had a 100 butterfly to swim with a 200 free right after that. She also had to swim a 100 free the same day.

Here she is with her coach right after her 100 butterfly. She knew she did well because Nancy gave her a hug, and Nancy does not give hugs freely!

She did well and was very happy with her swims!! She is definately a fly swimmer!!

The first day of the meet was warm and sunny, the second day, cold and rainy!!

But we all had fun!!!

June 15- 17th our family went to Camp Metigoshe for Family Camp. It was a blast!! We did lots of activities and spent a lot of time together. The girls said their favorite part was being together as a family. We canoed, did crafts, sang camp songs, did adventure corcee, and just had a lot of fun.

Enjoy the pictures of us enjoying our time.

February 4-6 Kristin had Brown Bear with her. We had to document what Brown Bear did. We took pictures of his activities. Here he is with me, Kaitlyn and Kristin voting at the Super Tuesday Primary. Besides voting, Brown Bear went to swim practice, out for supper, and hung out at home with dad and listened to stories. I think Kristin thought it was pretty cool to share her stories with her class about what Brown Bear did. we had fun documenting it.
