Swimming Around!

Jared has been super busy with coaching swimming for the past 3 months. It has taken up a ton of time, but he really loves being so involved at the school and especially with the swim team. Tori and I try to make as many meets as we can to support our Coach! Most of the boys on the team call Tori "Baby Allen" and she loves all of the attention she gets from the kids and their parents, too! It has been fun for us to step into a team and I have really enjoyed all the things I learn at the meets as well! It is amazing the wealth of knowledge I pick up from all the Swim Moms - basically all of the great gossip, such as who the team heart throb is! Most of all, I love watching Jared as a Coach - he is so great with the swimmers and helping them to get better! And Tori absolutely loves looking for her Daddy during the meets!!! Hope you enjoy the pictures we have gathered through the last few weeks... it is a good way to picture how Tori keeps herself busy and a few of our Coach Allen!

Tori loves sitting on this little ledge at the Pike Natatorium.

And sometimes she loves to sprawl out on the same ledge!!!

This is not the first soda pop she has lifted from someone else - at least this one was empty!

Tori loves to play in the puddle from the drinking fountain!
Dancing on the garbage can - it's a good thing Daddy was right there!

Tori loves running along the bleachers - especially the top row, which makes me super nervous!
Here is our Coach getting ready for the meet to start!
Tori loves Daddy's water bottle - it is the only way she will drink plain water!Coach Allen hard at work!
Tori loves it when the meet is over and we can go find Daddy!!!

Our future swimmer...

All ready to get up on a block!!!

Tonight Tori apparently wanted some pretzels - they ended up everywhere!

Pretzels anyone?

And then we had a reading break!

Hard at work, again!!!

Finally, the last relay!!!

Yeah Coach Allen, you are the best!!!
