Utah Senior State Championships 2024

Ready or not state championships are here. This is the second year of it being moved to December instead of February. It still seems really weird and I'm not convinced that speeding the season up helps the swimmers. Well, I am not in charge or even have a voice to give an opinion. So I get on board and support our swimmers.

It's time to get the show started!!

The kids all gather around Mike
listening to his instructions.

Men's Relay Team

Being on deck makes it hard to take pictures. Our kids set such a good example by cheering for every team member plus everyone else around them. Everyone worked hard and achieved many goals that were set at the beginning of the season. Ryder has worked so hard with his injury to achieve his goals. 

I am exhausted and starting to have a reaction to the chlorine with coughing, sneezing, and sore throat. I feel fine but sound awful. It's going to be a busy month with a lot more chlorine. Suck it up and enjoy this season.

Hard work & determination is his game as he continues to heal. We continue to support him, feed him, and watch him go to bed by 8:30 exhausted from working hard.

Black Friday

It is Friday for sure but there isn't much shopping going on at our house. Instead it's time to get ready for Christmas.

Watch Out!!
Who knew that Rubbermaid storage bins could fly.
Neither Dave or I as we watched the new storage bins
fly out of the back of the truck.
Time to dodge the cars on the highway that in turn were
dodging the bins as they flew out.
Good news we only lost 3.

Christmas decoration
Go right along with the storage bins.
Empty them and then fill them back up.
I am exhausted just thinking about them.

Ranger snuggling down in the decoration.
He didn't want to move.
He could be a cute rather large ornament.

Love decorating!!
Dave found the cute flamingo hat.

It moves
or rather baubles back and forth.

Decorating can be exhausting we finished up before dinner. Now it's time to sit back and enjoy the twinkly lights and Christmas smells. Time to enjoy the holiday season.
