Swim Team and Scorpions

Swim Team has become our life this summer. That or swimming. Basically you can find my kids in water most of the time. They Love it. We love that they love it, we are all happy!
Sera loves swim so much that she is begging to do club swim this year. She is a great swimmer and gets better each week. She also started diving this year. We are waiting for that to grow on her. She works very hard at swim and never wants to miss. She always wants to be the best and I love that.
Alexa shocked us all this year. Last year she cried every practice and never made it to one swim meet. This year she is coming out of the water with 1st and 2nd place ribbons and a huge smile to go with it. Way to go Lex! She has a great attitude and is VERY competitive. I wonder where she gets that from?
The Bos man. He takes competitive to an entirely new level. This kid works out with the older age group everyday (he was plowing down the kids his age). He recently competed in the Relay meet (coach invite). He raced a relay with his age group, then with the 7&8 year olds and then a kid for the IM left and they asked Boston to swim 2 legs. He did Backstroke and Freestyle. He was AWESOME! I hope he keeps this great attitude and desire to work hard at it!
All this swimming makes everyone tired. I had to put this picture on because Sera NEVER naps. Hasn't since she was 2, not even in the car. After Swim and dive I found her on the couch like this!


On the way out the door to our first swim meet, Frankie hurried and fed Beck. With no time to clean up his mess, this is what we came home to.....
Look close, not one but TWO scorpions eating off my kitchen floor....Are you Kidding me??!!!
And the very same night we caught this mom with 20 (that's what we counted) babies on her back!
