Andrew's Swim Competition

So today was Andrew's first swim competition and he did so wonderful. The first heat he did was the back stroke and we were sure what to expect in any of them especially this one. When it was finally his turn he killed it he beat everyone by a lot and won the GOLD medal!!! Then more waiting and then he swam the front stoke. He did so good in this one as well he got the silver medal and only lost out of the gold by a fraction of a second. We will get his offical scores Tuesday at swimming but no matter what he did excellent. The way this competition worked was if you got a certain time in your age group that got you the gold, silver, or bronze medals so it wasn't one on one so to say but personal goals. I thought this was great because it allows the kids to still be competitive but maybe not so much pressure with the other competitors. Anyway we are so proud of him I cried but whats new there. =) Here are the pics and the videos are on youtube I will post the link once they are done downloading.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

We celebrated Halloween a couple days late but still had a party. It was a blast we did trick or treating with all the rooms in our apartment and had face painting. I baked a ton of stuff we had brownies, sugar cookie pumpkins, witches fingers cookies, and chocolate cupcakes...Sugar overload. Here are some pics of the day.
