Crazy Life at The Warner's

Just a couple of fun things coming up at our house. They are mostly about the two big boys.

On Monday Avery is getting his braces off. Pictures will be coming because I haven't seen his teeth in a couple of years. He is also trying out for the High School Soccer Team on Monday. Avery never ceases to amaze me either. Today he didn't come home after school so I tried to call him and he didn't answer so I texted him. I found out by his long drawn out texts that he was trying out for the school play. Hunter Jr. is doing Music Man and they needed a trumpet player and so he tried out and made it. The play is in April. Good job Avery.

Austin is ready for another swim meet in Park City this weekend. About water polo though. He went last Saturday at 7 am and came home and told he how much fun it is. He said it is a lot like soccer and he was really tired from being in the deep end most of the two hours. Then Monday after swim practice he came home and told me he wanted to go to practice again on Wednesday from 5-6:30. I didn't think much about it expect that it would interfere with swim practice. On Tuesday when he reminded me out water polo I asked him if he wanted to miss swim practice for water polo practice and he started to laugh. I didn't realize that 5:00-6:30 was am not pm. Most of you know that I love mornings so much, I guess I forgot about that time of day. So this morning he headed out the door with his dad to practice. Good for him for getting up. We found out that a new rule came out that you have to be in 7th grade to play on the team, but the coach said he is welcome to come and practice anytime. During the summer they play water polo in the outdoor pool at Kearns. Austin also told me that he might give up soccer and swim and play water polo all year long. I guess we will see about that.

Oh ya, Brayden had his first pack meeting tonight. The Blue and Gold Banquet. We had pizza, salad and brownies. He had a great time. His first den meeting will be next Tuesday right after school.

It's amazing to me how time has flown by with my kids. On Friday we celebrated the baby's eighth birthday, which means he is not a baby anymore. He is super excited to be baptized and can hardly wait. He is being baptized on March 8 and it's not soon enough for him. Brayden is a super crazy kid and I think he is going to be in drama. He is taking swim lessons and his teacher says he is a great swimmer, so maybe I can talk him into swimming on the swim team. He is so fun to have around the house and I am a little bit sad that he is going up so fast. Probably because he is the youngest. Happy Birthday Little Guy.

I had an assignment for my photo class and I found the perfect place to take the pictures. We had to shoot action shots and so I took these pictures at Austin's swim meet. He did really well he had a second place, 3 third places and a fourth place. I love to watch him swim and he loves to go. He comes home from school and tells me he is ready to go. He loves to talk about swimming and his face lights up when he does (kind of like soccer). Today his coach told him to try water polo. On Saturday they have a water polo practice and he could maybe play on the high school team already. We will see what that brings about. Anyway the pictures I took are the three different strokes he swam. See if you can tell what they are.

If you guessed backstroke good job. He swam in the 50 and 100 m backstroke.



This is the breast stroke. He swam the 50 m. He took second in this one.



Nice in you thought this might be freestyle. He swam in the 50 and 100 m events.

He is doing super swell and he has another meet on the 22nd and 23rd of Feb in Park City. He is trying to cut his time in the freestyle so he can go to state in March.

Well I am not a big fan of guns in the house, but Avery and Austin received gift cards for Christmas and guess what they wanted. You got it Nerf Guns. I told them that they needed to keep safety in mind because I didn't want anyone getting hurt. The picture shows how they solved the problem.

They made up a game and where racing around the house and I go see what they are doing and I see Brayden peeking around the corner and they all have their dad's safety glasses on. I laughed so hard. I told them thanks for making sure nobody got their eye shot out. They have been having a lot of fun and I get a kick out of watching them figure out how to shot the other person without getting shot.
