Berry Creek in the Summer

Summer time Berry Creek is the absolute best time of year.

Our Country Club has a lot of different activities all summer long, our favorite is the Dive In Movies.

I recently started playing tennis and Drew has expressed a lot of interest as well. 

So he enrolled him in tennis camp and he is having a blast!

We love hanging out at the pool. 

No matter what, we can find a handful of families there to play with. 

Our Dillo

As our summer swim season comes to an end I have to admit, I'm kinda ready for it.

We have been swimming straight since October & I need a break before club team starts up again. 

The great thing about Drew swimming is that it is something HE chooses to do. 

He even likes to wear his "swim underwear" instead of jammers. 

We had our Division II Championship meet last Saturday against Brushy Creek & Steiner Ranch.

Drew nailed it!!!!

He placed 2nd in freestyle, 1st in backstroke & 4th in butterfly. 

                     The three of us got together and had custom swim shirts made to support the kids. 

At the end of the championship meet there was an award assembly where the high point scorers were recognized and given trophies. 

Our little Dillo was one of those!

Swim Mom's

Drew's club swim team has an adult league that a few of the parents participate in. 

These are parents who were swimmers in college. 

The rest of the participants are much older and were also collegiate swimmers years ago.

A few are swimming just for the workout.

Then there is us. 

Allison, Jami & I.

We are just swim moms.

Our resumes do not include anything aquatic. 

Although Jami was a lifeguard in high school. 

So here we are at 5 am attending our swim practices.

We find ourselves doing the EXACT drills that our 6-7 year old boys are doing. 

Lesson Learned:

1. If my child wants to take his goggles off between rounds, I will let him. It really is hard to see out if the water with those things. 
2. If he needs to take a longer breath on his side, I will let him. Breathing is HARD!!!!!!!
3. If he wants to play around on the kick board drills, I will let him. Who can resist the temptation???? 

Georgetown Aquadillo 2014

My second favorite time of year is Aquadillo season.

We get to spend every Saturday catching up with other families and making new friends each. 

The beginning of home meets are extra special because all the Georgetown kids get to shout out the Dillo Chant to get pumped up. 

The 6&U boys are especially cute, and I'm not saying that because my kid is one of them. 

I love to hear their random conversation topics while in line at the ready bench. 

Tailgating on a Saturday morning has taken on a whole new meaning.

The great thing about the Aquadillo team is that we get a lot of support from Southwestern University. Two of the swim coaches at SU are Aquadillo coaches. They also have a couple of collegiate swimmers that coach as well. 

Coach Adrian is Drew's coach this year & the two of them are peanut butter and jelly. 

Every race thus far Drew has come won his heat.

The boys: Drew, Jackson, Asher & Aiden

Here's part of the Aquadillo team, my lens would not allow me to get the full team.

Ainsley's moving on up

May 6th was Ainsley's pre-pre K ceremony.

They called it a "graduation" however I'm not a big fan of celebrating my

 3 year old "graduating" from her class and moving into the room next door.

But I put on a happy face and went with it. 

We are going to miss her teacher Mrs. Asfon.

She is retiring from Eagle Wings & GISD this year. 

Congratulations Ainsley! 

You have successfully moved up into the next class.

Lake LBJ- High School Reunion

Over Mother's Day weekend we got together with Andy's high school friends.

We planned this weekend trip last summer and hopefully we can continue it's tradition. 

It was our first time to see Lothery's new baby girl Savannah. 

She is the most laid back 6 month old I've ever seen!!!

We played A LOT of "pass the baby". 

The boys played.

The kids swam. 

The girls laid out. 

The '99 MacArthur Brahma crew:

Andy, Laura, David, Brent, Blake and Sean.

The entire crew.

We loved that the house had this huge table so we could all sit and enjoy dinner together. 

An added plus, an outdoor fire place for s'mores.

Thanks to Sean who set everything up and made it easy for us girls. 

May Fiesta's

We had several "Fiesta's" during May. One of them was at the Round Rock Express 

game with the Grissom's.  Our school through a fundraiser event there so we hung

 out with lots of friends and teachers. 

We were lucky enough to have Spike stop by for a quick visit. 

We threw together a last minute Cinco de Mayo party at our house with the Grissom's & Bocella's. 

Thanks for the photo bomb Jackson. 

The boys had fun hitting golf balls outside our fence which is a real treat!!!

Thanks to all the BC golfers for hitting 100's of golf balls in our yard. 

It allows us for endless opportunities like this.

The best thing about having Fiesta's is the heavy sleep the kids get to have.
