KENZIE THE FISH

Now many of you know that Mackenzie is the biggest fish in the world, so we put her in swim team. So over the summer we followed Kenzie and her swim team around the valley to swim meet after swim meet. After the regular season the Country Club Swim teams have their championships. Kenzie had swam so will over the season that she was able to go and swim 4 events. At the start of the championships there is a field of 32 swimmers and our Kenzie ended up with 11th place in the 25 meter freestyle for her age group and received 2 other medals for her leg in 2 relay teams.
Kenzie was also awarded the top points award for girls 8 and under from out Swim club. We are so proud of all her accomplishments this summer.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

And so it begins, with the end of summer rolling along school is off to a full start. Riley is in the 5th grade this year and Kenzie is in the 3rd. The best part of school is the school bus, at least that is Eli's favorite thing about school. He loves to wait on the steps and watch for the bus to come in the morning and again we wait for the kids to come home.

VIVA LAS VEGAS

Between swim team and the start of football season, we had to find some time to take a family trip. So we jumped in the car and scooted on down to Las Vegas, were we stayed and the Planet Hollywood Westgate towers. Lots of sunshine and plenty of minutes spent at the pool, it was a relaxing time. The kids had a blast at the pool, it had a shallow shelf all the way around so it was great for Eli and for the kids jumping off the edge. In our hotel room they had the biggest tub, which makes for a great family picture.
