he is 8...

Cole had his birthday this weekend , on the 23rd. It's hard to believe our boy is 8. 

The night before I was putting  him to bed and with a bit of sadness in my voice I told him how I was saying goodnight to him as a seven year old and he would wake up an eight year old. With his sweet loving voice he took my face in his hands and said, "Don't worry mama, I will be be the same boy...I'll  be a little stronger, taller and smarter, but I'll be the same boy!" Oh how I love this child of mine...

 

this silly, fun, loving child of mine. I have a feeling we are in for treat with 8! Happy Birthday sweet boy.

There were a few pre-swim meet jitters this time around but those quickly went away after her first race. Ryan had 3 events on Saturday and 4 on Sunday. She did amazing! She improved her own times on every race...her daddy and I are so proud of our little girl. 

 Back stroke is still her favorite...getting 3rd in her heat and she even beat her "dreaded" butterfly time by 10 seconds.

Not being  a swimmer myself, it's really fun to part of the swimming community. Super fun to watch and cheer on our little Jeffco Hurricane.
