Wait Until You See This!

 Friday afternoon we headed over to Paradise Valley Country Club for our second spring swim meet. Miss B. begged to wear her team suit that one of the little girls gave her last summer.  I caved this time because at our last swim meet she made us all crazy with her constant whining. I figured if anything, she could get wet during warm ups of at least stick her feet in the water between races.  Well apparently SHE WANTED TO SWIM! We kinda laughed thinking there is no way she would really get in and swim a race, after all, she has never really swam across the entire pool during a practice. She begged and pleaded so Jeremy and I said "why not."  We warned the boys that they needed to be ready and willing to jump in after her if she only got half way across the pool.  They agreed and the fun began.  

Brody was so excited that 3 year old Miss B. was going to swim her first race.

This girl could hardly contain her excitement.  She was ready to swim.  

The first race was breaststroke.  Apparently Miss B. missed the memo on that because after she jumped into the water, she swam BUTTERFLY!  Not only did she swim butterfly, but she swam the entire length of the pool without stopping to hang on the lane line.  

She was like a little inchworm swimming across the pool.  He little bum was so stinkin cute popping up just like her swim teachers have taught her. I could just hear Miss Carolyn her swim teacher saying, "Bottom Up!" "Get Your Bottom Up."

As you can see, I was sooooooo excited for my little lady.  Obnoxious I know!

After she got out of the pool, Jeremy was there to get her.  She won a third place ribbon and you would have thought she won Olympic gold!  Hilarious!

Are you kidding me?!?! DANG CUTE!

The second race Miss B. swam was really butterfly, which by now she was a pro at! She got first place in this race, but not really.  Here's what happened.  She jumped in with the rest of the girls in her heat. 

The other girls in the heat butterflied across the pool and got out.  Miss B. kept right on going and when she was about half way across the pool, they started the next heat of girls.  Because of this, Miss B. thought she smoked all the girls she was racing against because she was way ahead of them. In reality, she was just behind and the next heat was catching up to her. It was AWESOME!

Did I mention that Brody swam in the meet too? Here he is showing off his breaststroke.  It's really probably his worst stroke but he still likes swimming it and is improving each time he swims.

Brody is an amazing backstroker.  He  glides across the water when he's on his back.

Proud 10 year old swimmer.

Case swam tonight and did great too. That's a mighty big breath Case-Man!

There is a reason we call this boy, "First Place Case."  He is competitive and has the drive to WIN!

Let's not forget Ledger.  This boy is just funny.  He is becoming quite a good little swimmer too.  If he could get the dive down he would be even better!:)

Happy little man!

I have to say that tonight will be a night we will continue to look back on and laugh about.  Watching the boys get so excited for their baby sister tonight was priceless.  Watching Miss B. giggle with excitement over finally getting to race....THE BEST!!
