Brennen's First Swimming Lesson

Today Brennen had his very first swim lesson. It was actually the second week, but he missed last week cause he was feeling very sick.

He was very apprehensive about going to swimming lessons going so far as to say "I don't want to go to swimming", "swimming sucks" and "I hate swimming". As you can imagine, I was thinking great this is going to be a disaster. The hardest part was getting him into the pool, after that he sat on the wall and then he thought it wasn't so bad. As you can tell by the pics, he was even laughing and smiling for most of it.

It was so funny after his lesson he didn't want to get out of the pool and couldn't stop telling everyone how much fun he had at swimming. Now we're dealing with the constant, "when can I go swimming" and he's asking his brother to go with him too.

Here are a few more pics of the day, and they're not the best, I only had my point & shoot today and as we all know, they don't always do so well inside without the flash!

Weekend Recap

This weekend was a little out of control for us! We had our Sharks soccer game at noon on Saturday & then B had a basketball tournament after that. 2 games were on Saturday & 1 on Sunday.

The Sharks were victorious once again and his basketball team came out ahead in the tournament as well winning 2 of the 3 games. The only challenge we had over the weekend was that B went to a sleepover on Friday night with one of his good friends and ended up only getting 5 hours of sleep. 5 hours doesn't go a long way when you've got a soccer game & 2 basketball games the next day. He played very well in his soccer game & first basketball game. After that he was a bit tired for the rest of the weekend.

I'm proud of how he played and he had so much fun on Friday I don't feel bad for him at all!

Catching up

I have been such a slacker lately with the blog! It's been so busy since soccer season fired up, we're busy coaching & organizing for that and I'm heading into one of my busiest times at work. We've already planned most of our Christmas season, I'm already tired of December and it's not even October yet.

B started school and is loving his class thus far. He has a few of his really good friends in the class, I'm not sure who unleashed that punishment on the teacher! I'm hoping it's a good year for him and he enjoys his split class through out the year.

As for soccer, we're quite busy and have been since the last 2 weekends in August with tournaments & the beginning of the season. The boys are doing well and we're off & running with our Sharks again. GO SHARKS! In addition to the sharks this year, B's playing with ECBA again on a select basketball team, he loves basketball so much! He asked if he could do cross country with everything else and we just had to say no, I think it would've sent us right over the edge.

Anyways, here are a few pics from some soccer tournaments and the first games of the season. I promise I'll put up a post very soon, I won't wait as long!

Seriously, he is such a trooper, going to all of his brother's stuff.
