Jack's first swim, Nikki's last game, and more...

We had a very busy weekend and I was so exhausted Saturday night that I wasn't sure I would have the energy to go to church today at 9 am, but I made it. First of all, on Friday night we went swimming at the Rec Center and then I had 4 of my nieces spend the night. We had an early start Saturday morning with Nikki's soccer game at 9:20am. We then went over to the high school where my niece Rebecca found out she made the drill team. Yay Becca! Then we went down the road to find a spot to watch Parade America. Then I dropped off two of the girls at their home and took the younger two with me back to my house where we ate lunch and then loaded back up to go to Nikki's 2nd soccer game of the day, final soccer game of the year. Poor Nikki was tired too and didn't try very hard in either game today. She even sat down a couple times. I think we've decided that soccer is not for her. It was fun while it lasted but we won't be doing this next year. After dropping off the other two girls I went home and tried to relax the rest of the day and ended up watching two Harry Potter movies. Thank goodness I got in bed by 10:30 and Jack let me sleep all night so we were able to get up and go to church. But as usual, we were a few minutes late. I first wake up thinking I have a lot of time and I feel like we won't be late and the next thing I know, I'm out of time. Oh, and right before we leave (as usual) I have to change Garrett's diaper. Then right after we got to church, Jack's diaper needed to be changed. I ended up missing the sacrament because I didn't want to wait to change Jack because he usually leaks. No leaks today though. I think it made a difference in changing him from size 2 to size 3 diapers a couple days ago. He's already 16 pounds! Anyway, there are lots of pictures today, enjoy!

Nikki LOVES her soccer trophy and medal. Had I known this was all she wanted we could've just bought her a trophy instead of signing her up for soccer, LOL.

Her team had an ice cream party and before her 2nd game she got her face painted.

Everyone also got a soccer shirt.

They had an astro jump thing that Nikki and Garrett had fun on.

Jack in the pool for the first time. He loved it! Ok, well he didn't complain. He was just relaxed the whole time. His cousins are the ones in the photo. We had a big group there; all of Jeanie's girls (my nieces), Stillman and Michelle and kids, Tamara and Chris and Katie.

Nikki's helping Grandma water her garden Monday afternoon. She loves to plant things so I better get moving on getting some more flowers and stuff for our yard so she can help me.

Tree hugger!

Jack started to bite his lower lip this month. I love the look on his face.
