First Swim Meet!

Gryphon's swim team-The Lake Ridge Lancers-had their first swim meet today against the Ben Lomond Flying Ducks. The meet started at the ungodly hour of 6 am, but the Lancer's were bright eyed and bushy tailed, and ready to swim. (Lancer Mommas and siblings-not so much!) Gryphon swam in 5 races, including some relays, and she won her heat for breaststroke! Her friends April and Kaycee are on the team, too, and that makes it even more fun.

Go Lancers!

Birthday Bash 2007

The girls had a together party at a local pool. We set up the Hawaiian Luau stuff and the kids went on the waterslides and generally had a blast getting wet!

Gymnastics Season end party

Rowan's gymnastics gym had an end-of-season party last Saturday, and her team, The Shooting Stars, did a little program. They showed off their skills, and received trophies, and then played games and ate junk food.

Here is her whole team doing splits.

The best part-cupcakes!!

School is out!

We had a promotion-to-the-next-grade ceremony with the home school group last night, and it coincided nicely with our last day of school today! The girls got certificates for completing the 3rd grade and Kindergarten, and we had some cake and punch. Especially touching were the 2 home school group graduates- I can't imagine the girls ever being that old!

And, it's birthday time here! Rowan turned 6 last week, and Gry turned 9 today. We will celebrating with a Luau themed pool party on Saturday. It goes without saying that I can't believe how BIG they are!

Gryphon, 9 today and looking gorgeous in her pink braces.
