Carson's athletics


I just thought I would share Carson's soccer picture for the Spring. We did not get to go to the actual pictures so I just took one myself. I think it turned out better than his Fall one made by the professional. This Saturday was suppose to be our last game, but with the rain we have make up games Sunday and next Saturday. Carson still is not very good, but he loves running around with everyone. Maybe we will try t-ball next.
Carson has swimming lessons today. He really loves the water. As a matter of fact, he always has. It is the one place where he has never really been timid. He was swimming short distances the summer he was one. He was always cautious, but would swim out to you without any flotation device. Most of the other kids his age have caught up with him in the skill level, but he really loves lessons. The place we go for lessons has certificates with 10 stickers. He has 4 right now. To get 10 he basically has to swim every stroke-including butterfly-the entire length of the pool. But, the kids is determined. He does not want to quit until he has all of the stickers. He is doing well with free style and is working on breast stroke and back stroke. Once our pool opens for the summer I will have to get a video for you. Where he has lessons, I can not sit close enough to video anything.

Wow...Carson looks so old! No, Caroline doesn't have the matching sweater...she has a little white sweater that might match, but I don't think it came with it.

I can't believe how grown up Carson looks. We'll have to go swimming sometime together this summer. Maybe Carson can teach Bryce a thing or two as he's not "swimming" yet but certainly is on his way. By the way, I LOVED his cute Thomas shirt.
