Wiregrass Peanut Invitational - Day 2

Final day and AK did great! She took time off of two of her events, and competed in the 50y breaststroke for the first time. GOOD GIRL!!!! Afterwards, we headed to Longhorn's for a very much deserved lunch, where we shoveled our food in so as to get home before we fell asleep. Tired doesn't begin to explain this Lee Party of 3, but we couldn't be more proud of AK and EWR!!!!

Wiregrass National Peanut Invitational Meet - Day 1

Photobucket Pictures, Images and Photos

Left the house at 6:45 this morning, stopped to pick Anslee up, who AK was beyond excited got to come watch her swim, then breakfast and a splash of gas...and off we went to our second USA Swimming meet.

AK started the day off perfectly by knocking two seconds off her 25y freestyle and earning her C patch!!

AK and her relay buddy (and biggest competition) Mary Helen

The breaststroke is by far the most entertaining event for our girls. AK and Mary Helen are constantly trying to beat each other, complete with friendly smack talk and intimidating jumps and 'Emily Munn arm flaps'. AK had her beat today until she started looking to see if she was ahead or not.....take a look. {click the link below}

Did you hear Anslee cheering on AK? :-)

AK did her first 50y backstroke and flip turn, finishing second in her heat! The WaveRunners  had a great first day!

But the best part of a swim meet is the relays. It's so much fun watching the kids support and pull for each other :-)

Check back tomorrow for day two and final meet results. We leave the house at 6:15 AM...........

Brief Visit from Ohio

My parents came down for a quick visit over the MLK holiday. While here we played all the games AK got for Christmas, including Headbandz. It's so much fun and funny. Take a look..... (sorry Mom :) )

LOLOLOL! It really is a fun game.

Mom also helped me learn to use my new Cricut. Thank goodness, because that thing was on its way to under my car....

Here are a couple of my first projects
Photobucket
There's a tiny little wrinkle, but overall I'm proud

Photobucket
Jeff wanted his username for the AU football board on the golf cart. Won't I be cute when I'm driving the golf cart????

It was a short visit, but a good one :)

Just in the knick of time!

See, I did manage to update again before the month was over :) LOL!

A few weekends ago, Anna Kate went to her bff's birthday party at Fun Zone. It was AK's first time rollerskating, and I have to say, she did very well. She was VERY determined to get it, and of course, there were multiple moments of frustration, but she never gave up. I was proud of her! However, I got in some serious trouble for laughing at her....I just couldn't help it. You'll see, just watch this video...



Tell me she doesn't look just.like Tim Conway on the Carol Burnette show!!!!!!!! Skating to Michael Jackson. Bwahahaha!!!

Photobucket
AK's expression is priceless. She totally doesn't trust whatever Anslee is telling her. LOL!

Photobucket
But then she gave it a go

Photobucket

Photobucket
And gained some confidence

Photobucket
But she wanted a quick break, so my mom pushed her on the skooter for a bit

Photobucket
Aren't they cute in their laser tag gear? :)

Photobucket
Bumper cars!!

It was great fun!
