Busy being busy!

    The Dork Dots have already been busy this summer. They've been swimming every day, and Jax, Xan, and Ace are running track.
     If you're following us on Facebook, you already know that Ace likes the 50 yard dash (he kinda lopes :), loves throwing the javelin, and does the standing long jump. Xan runs the 100 and 200 (if forced). She also long jumps. Jax runs the relay (he likes to run the last leg), the 100m, and the running long jump.
     The kids are taking swimming again. Although Jax & Xan tried out for swim team, there were a limited amount of kids allowed on the team. We didn't get them on the list soon enough (we didn't realize how important early sign up was on the day sign-ups opened). They both swam well, but there just wasn't enough spots in the pool! Of course, because they are all fish, they adore being in the pool.
      Ace and Max are both playing baseball. Ace is playing coach pitch and Max is playing t-ball. We're at the field every day watching some sort of a game. Both boys get to wear yellow t-shirts, which is fun to have the same uniform.
     Other exciting things that have happened were that Jax turned 12! He's been excited to be a Deacon and pass the sacrament. He had nightmares about passing (in one his tray had both bread AND ham, YUM!) His first Sunday went very well. He's even been out collecting fast offerings. It's great to be a 'tween!

      Jax and Xandri have also had fun with friends having late-nights. Everyone (but mom) is in love with Daisy the Dog. We're still trying to train the beast. :) I guess we still have most of the summer, right?
