Fall is finally coming to an end at our house and we are able to feel a slight amount of breathing room amongst all of the activities our kids are involved in. Just a quick recap of all of the activities that have kept us running around like crazy people for the last few months.
Bailey ran her second half marathon with a time of 1:51:15. That's about a 8:30 minute mile. Yep, she's fast. Caleb ran the 5k and took first with a time of 23:30 and Easton ran the mile with a time of 6:20!
Bailey's cheer competition season is about to begin. Each year the local cheer teams gather together to raise money and canned goods for Dixie Care and Share and show off their routines. We are going to miss her competition this weekend so I'm so happy I at least got a preview of the routine.
All three older kids participated in the Turkey Tri at Sand Hollow. Caleb and Bailey each took first in their divisions with Easton taking a close second in his. If he hadn't been afraid of the deep end we have no doubt he would had taken first.
Of course mixed in with each holiday season is the Jubilee of Trees. I finally stopped decorating one of the main trees and only choose to help the school's with theirs. The kids still needed a visit from Santa however.
Bailey competed in her school's annual Tri. There was some FIERCE competition this year. She was about the 8th person out of the water but must've pulled some sort of superman change in the dressing room because she was the 2nd girl to come out! She quickly made up the difference on the bike and passed the lead girl. Beginning the run she had a decent lead over the 2nd place girl but I worried knowing 2nd place's legs were about double the length Bailey's was. She was able to pull of the win coming in only 5 seconds before the 2nd place girl! She was more than 6 minutes quicker than her time last year and was only a minute behind the winning boy's time. Like I said, fast.
Easton and Caleb have each been playing competitive soccer. It's taken a lot of time and effort on both theirs and my parts. I was the team manager for both teams and it wore me out!
They finished their fall season like the champions they are! Both teams competed in the Dixie Invitational Thanksgiving tournament and both teams went undefeated for gold!
Bailey provided us with the turkey for an upcoming Christmas dinner with her geck-a-thon efforts.
Knowing we were going to be out of town the first week of December I insisted the Christmas lights and decor were put up before we left. Of course it was warm then...
So much to do, so little time, so much to enjoy.
