Lovin' It!

The weather I mean! I just wish I was able to do my job outside. Then life would be great!

Josh brought home 5 ribbons out of 6 events from the swim meet last weekend. He got a 9th, 10th, two 14th, and a 16th place. (Yep, they ribbon for lots of places). He's going on a scout camp-out tonight up to Strawberry and they are going to do a service project up there, too. He was "in charge" of getting it all set up (which is why I got to make the phone calls, etc). They are going to pick trash up at one of the day areas - I think they decided on "the Ladders".

Marlin is coming home today and staying until next Weds. I think. He's got a job here to do (yahoo). The job in Idaho is going well enough I guess that he can take the week to do this job then he's back up there to finish the other job up. I'm not sure when he's planning on going to the cabin to work on it but I know that's coming up pretty soon, too.

Oh, Happy Mother's Day to all the moms that I know out there that read my stories here. I hope you all have a great Mom's Day! I think we are going to have a bbq and enjoy each other's company and the weather.

Swimming update

Well, another weekend, another swim meet. We are in long course now and Josh swam in 6 events this weekend. He swam the 50 freestyle, 100 free, 100 back, 100 breast, 100 butterfly, and 200 free. He was able to knock 5 seconds off his 50 free, 11 seconds off his 100 free and 18 seconds off his 100 back! He is having to swim the longer distances now that he's in an older age bracket so he had to establish times in the other events he swam. But, we were able to have steak once again for dinner! (For those of you who don't know, each meet he is able to better his times in all of the events that he swims, we have steak for dinner). If he keeps this up, he will definitely have state cuts this course.

He's still looking for donations for his fund-raiser, too. We're only about 1/3 of the way to his goal this year so if anyone is looking to help, please let me know.

I had to get him some more tennis shoes and he's now wearing a size 9! I can't believe how big his feet are getting (maybe that's why he swims so good).

Today we celebrated my bro's birthday. He's 32 today! Can't believe that either! Gosh I'm getting old! He's been doing really good in school and should have his computer graphic degree really soon. Some of the stuff he's done is awesome!

I have some pictures that I need to get on the blog so as soon as I can, I'll get them there so keep you're eyes open.

Bye for now!
