My amazing little SWIMMER...and DIVER!!!

Kelly LOVES swimming!

She is in the middle of swim lessons right now....and loves staying after lessons to swim for a little bit with my team. My team just got pink swim caps for our upcoming breast cancer dual meet with Hempstead. Since Kelly's favorite color is PINK...she HAD to have a pink cap!

She really LOOKS like a swimmer!!!

Kelly can also dive off the diving board now!!!!! Here she goes...

....in the air....

....perfect entry!

WAY TO GO KELLY!!!!

KINDERGARTEN

Kelly is LOVING every minute of KINDERGARTEN!!!

Here is her school picture!

Czipar's Apple Festival

We went to the Czipar's Apple Festival on Sunday.....the girls had a lot of fun (and we did too!)

Sisterly LOVE! They can be so cute sometimes!!!!

Looking at all the different apple things....the girls both got flower barrettes at the festival.

Kelly is REALLY blurry in this picture.....but Molly is so adorable I had to post! The loved the painted pumpkins!

Kelly LOVES getting her picture taken!

BOO!

We met up with the Herrig family....here are all 5 kids playing in the pool of CORN!

My girls loving playing in the corn!

Myles and Molly didn't want to get out.......I think they would have stayed in there all day!!!

Papa Bear's birthday

We celebrated my Dad's birthday a little late this year! (His "real" birthday is Sept.13...but I had a swim meet & it was a school night for Kelly!) On Saturday afternoon we brought Papa Bear an angel food cake decorated by the girls!

The girls singing to Papa!

Kelly made Papa a present (a foam door holder)

Fridays at Kelly's school

I volunteer in Kelly's Kindergarten class every Friday morning for 1.5 hours. I LOVE my time in the class getting to work with the kids. We do something different each day......it has already been a great experience again this school year!

TODAY....they were working on "M's"

So....

We did MARBLE painting of the letter "M" with MAGENTA paint

I took the kids back one at a time to do the marble painting....the kids LOVED it!

Here is Kelly rolling the marbles around!

Kelly was proud of her final "M"

(They are making an ABC book.....they painted the "A" with APPLE SLICES!)

Future BECKMAN girls?

Today is HOMECOMING for Beckman Catholic High School in Dyersville.

It is an out-of-uniform day as they get to wear green and gold to support Beckman...and they also get to watch the parade at school!

Ellie, Sophia, Kelly, and Maria waiting to line-up at school.

(Ellie just got to school and hadn't taken off her Xavier fleece yet!)

Kelly IS a swimmer!

Kelly started swimming lessons again last week! She LOVES the water!!!

Since it's the middle of my coaching season right now.....swimming lessons are right before my team practices. Here is Kelly right after lessons and before my team got into the water!

Here is her dive.....and her first 25 backstroke!

She is doing AMAZING and makes the swim coach in me SMILE!
