This is our daughter, Lexi. She is a competitive swimmer...in the pool 4 hours per week for practise...swim meets at least 1 per month, sometimes two. This is her first year swimming in competitive meets. She was nervous at first, but is coming home with ribbons from all her meets now. Which is awesome!
Jonah, our second son, plays every sport he can. Hockey has always been a favorite of his, and mine. In this picture, they just won the International Silver Stick Tournament (C division). This is huge for them...sort of like winning the Stanley Cup in the NHL. Now, regular season play is over, playdowns begin. Practise every week, plus an average of 3 games per week (during playdowns).
They won the Basketball Championship for the Christian Schools in our district (about 8 different schools)...this is the first time our school has won this in about 10 years, so it was very exciting for them. Sorry about the quality of the pics...the gym was very dark, and it was hard to get good pics. So, practise twice a week, and two games per week. Playoff games for the right to play in the Catholic School Championships begins this week.
Soccer practise has already begun for Jonah. Lexi will not start until May (thank goodness). School hockey practises begin next week (yes, a second team!). Lexi starts school basketball in the next couple of weeks as well. Josh (our oldest son), plays competitive paintball...practises once per week and a tournament per month. Also...we are hoping to be able to go to Chicago in June for a big tournament. His team is very excited! No pics of this, as winter paintball is always indoors, and it is impossible to get a decent pic without giving away his position to the "enemy", or getting myself or my camera covered in paint! Hopefully, I can get some this summer, at the outdoor tournaments.
I'm tired just writing it out....but I love it all! It is so much fun to see them having fun at things they love! How do your children keep you busy?
Thanks for reading! Shirley.

Wow Sirley or should I say superMom!!Your kids are really lucky to have such a dedicated taxi driver/supporter/coach!!My kids keep me busy by creating a force 5 whirlwind of a mess wherever they go-they also have tin whistle lessons,choir practiseand camogie and athletics training in the Summer.
You must be very proud that all three of your children are doing so well in their own chosen sports!
