New video coming soon...I think
A lot has happened since I last posted but none of it seemed interesting enough to actually mention. Before I mention any of it (assuming I can remember it), I need to mention that I have some great plans for some fun videos. Now that they are all crawling and also because the summer Olympics are in just a few months, we have decided it is time for the Quint Olympics.
This is where the babies compete in various events. We have noticed that some of them compete a little bit already. Rustin feels like it is his duty to take any toy that any other baby has. Often he will crawl over whatever is in his way, including the faces of other babies, to fulfil his duty. He almost always does this with a big smile on his face. I have found that they almost always have big smiles on their faces when they are doing naughty things. Many of them can't resist pulling the hair of the other babies while wearing big smiles.
Now, what else has happened? My dad spent the week with us last week which was nice. Rachelle made the comment that it is amazing that he would be willing to take a week off of work to go and babysit a bunch of babies. Here is a picture of him with them:
Riley is doing swim team right now. They compete every Saturday in a meet and I was nervous the first time I went because I hadn't actually seen Riley swim all the way accross the pool. When I saw him swim all the way accross I was so excited for him. He usually swims 5 events and I was really impressed because last week he did the butterfly which is not an easy stroke. I was in swimming in high school and I didn't ever actually swim that stroke in competition. He never comes in first...or second...or third but I am totally proud of him. My dad took some shots of him jumping off the blocks. In general, he does really well at this. At the sound of the starting buzzer, most of the kids just kind of roll off the block or else jump in feet first. Riley actually dives although he has that pesky leg that sort of sticks out underneath him:
Something else interesting that happened was that I got a facebook thing from someone that I graduated from high school with (Standley Lake High School Class of '92). I had actually known her since second grade but it was a long time. Her name is Amie Walton and I actually knew her since 2nd grade. Here is a picture of second grade:
Here is a closeup of Amie and I (two of the shortest kids in the class):
She started an organization called Hope House of Colorado that helps teenage moms deal with pregnancy which I think is really admirable. It is good to hear that there are people I graduated with that are doing some good things.
Aside from that, I had my 34th birthday a few weeks ago. When I got to work, Jessica, one of my coworkers, brought me a cool badge that said birthday Jedi on it. I wore it all day.
Well, that about sums things up. I hope to be making the first of the Quint Olympics in a few days and have something by next week if I can.
