2008 Dolphin Swim Team

Yesterday was our Dolphin Swim Team pool party. It was a great time! The parents finally got to jump in the pool. IT WAS WONDERFUL!! The goal for yesterday was to see who was going to Conference this Friday and who wasn't. Unfortunately we are not going to Conference this year. We are okay with that as we understand it was our first year. Brooklyn is a GREAT job for her first year on the swim team and we can't wait for next year!! We are SO VERY PROUD of her!!!

Brooklyn's "do"

Here are a few pix of Brooklyn's new "do" that her hairdresser gave her. She felt like quite the pop star as you can see. Now if she could only curl her own hair we would be set!!

End of Season

Last night was our last night of swim meets. It was a hot one. We swam against Taylorville and they had the most kids I have seen this year! All very good swimmers!! Brooklyn only competed in 3 events and did wonderful in all three. On Sunday the Swim Team is having a pool party and we find out then who is going to Conference next Friday.

Also, we would like to send a big CONGRATULATIONS to Ingrid Umbach who was crowned Jr. Miss Menard County last night. She is a good friend of Brooklyn's. We missed the event, but were glad to hear she won!! WAY TO GO INGRID!!

Brooklyn went to get her hair trimmed and layered today and Amy that cuts our hair styled Brooklyn's the same way she styled Ingrid's last night. She looked beautiful!! If I get some pix before she messes it up I will post them!!

Have a great week everyone!!

Way to GO Brooklyn!!!

We only have 2 more swim meets left and Brooklyn has done a magnificent job!! Last night was a home meet against Panther Creek. Due to the weather, Panther Creek did not bring many older swimmers. Therefore, Brooklyn was moved up to swim with the 15-18 year olds. She placed 2nd in two events and dropped her freestyle time by another 4 seconds!! She is nearly swimming the 50 meter freestyle in almost 1/2 a minute!! WAY TO GO BROOKLYN!!!
