Swim season is underway!

Tyaan has had 2 swim meets so far in the new season. She is swimming the 100y butterfly and the 200y freestyle so far. This is a video of her first 200 free. Her time in this race was 2:29 which is pretty good for the first meet of the year. It was a close race between her and a girl from the other school. You can see that she comes up too soon after losing count of how many laps she'd completed and has to hurry when that allows the other girl to catch up. But she pulls it out and took 1st place in this race! Following is a video of her 100 fly from the second meet of the week. She narrowly misses first place but takes 3 seconds off of her time from the meet before which is great.

Waterpolo Picture

This is Tyaan's picture for Waterpolo 07-08 season. I finally got it scanned. I've had some requests for it, so here you go! She says the cute pose was her idea. I miss water polo already and am looking forward to summer league.

Backwards Photo

Here is the official Backwards photo. You can see her outfit better here. I was very happy, I think they are both adorable.

Jon ON his motorcycle

I was waiting for Tyaan to get out of seminary one day last week and Jon had to ride over to get something out of the car. It was the first chance I've had to see him riding so I grabbed the camera and got a few shots before he could ride away. It's been raining again this week so he hasn't been able to ride. He's enjoying riding when he gets the opportunity, especially since he gets home so much earlier.

Ready for Backwards!

It's finally time to head out for the "Back to the 80's" Backwards dance. This is Ty in her 80's outfit we put together with her date Russell who is a good friend of our family. You can't tell with the jacket on, but we cut the arms short and the neck wide on the t-shirt so it pulled a little off one shoulder. It looked really, really cute. The pictures they had taken came out really cute as well so I'll have to try and get them posted also.

It sounds like they had a good time. It was quite entertaining to pick them up and see all the teenagers in their 80's outfits. She said they had 16 candles playing on a projector, but they didn't stick to 80's music...

Rockband!

Jon just bought Rockband. The rest of us are big Guitar Hero fans but Jon's not. He enjoys Rockband because he likes to sing. We all have fun taking turns at the drums which are pretty tricky. Andrew and his friend Joseph were over on Saturday afternoon to play. They recruited Jon to sing and Russell (who was over waiting to leave for Backwards) to play bass. I took a picture of our house "band" while they were mid-gig. Andrew is on drums and Joseph is playing lead guitar. It's quite a fun game, and because you can play up to 4 at a time it's a fun way to get several people involved.

Powder Puff postponed

Well, I should be filling you in on the excitement of last nights powder puff game, but unfortunately due to weather it was postponed until next Thursday night. The dance tonight is still on and the preparations have already begun. I should have some cute '80's' pictures to post either tonight or tomorrow, so be watching!
