Fun Blog Stuff

We interrupt the regular mutterings to bring you this fun blog post (courtesy of the SweetShoppeDesigns.com Blog




What Your Fridge Says About You



You like to be surrounded by things you love. You aren't exactly greedy, but you can be materialistic at times.
You tend to be a fairly thrifty person. You splurge occasionally, but you're mostly a saver.
You are a very adventurous person. You love to try new things, and you get bored very easily.
You are responsible, together, and mature. You act like an adult, even when you don't feel like it.
You are likely married, possibly with kids.



OK, not sure how much the "You act like an adult" part fits LOL! But overall, this is a pretty accurate description of our life at home.

OK, I'm trying to keep this more up-to-date (HAH!)

The boys have been swimming for the neighborhood swim team for the last few weeks. Neither one was a very good swimmer before joining the team. Adam was not comfortable at all in the water unless he could touch the bottom. 4 weeks later, both are fearless!

Geary's favorite stroke is the butterfly:


Adam's favorite stroke is the backstroke:


We won this week 291 - 256! Next week is the Division Meet, then we are done for the summer. Both boys are so happy swimming. It's the best sport we could have put them in. Since they are almost 2 years apart, the will never directly compete against each other (a good thing!), although they do like to compare to see who did better time-wise in their age brackets. I guess I have a couple of competitors :)

Last weekend we went to Texas Motor Speedway with Greg & Shari and their kids to watch the Truck and IRL races. We camped at the track, which made it a whole lot easie with all the kids. I think all the kids had a really good time (including the "big kids" LOL!):

The cousins:


The whole gang at the track:


Greg busting on me:


How Adam spends most of the race:



I'll be back in the next couple days to share some of my more recent layouts.
