OUR SPORTS LIFE
Alexa and Thomas have been swimming competively for 7 yrs.  They both really enjoy swimming and are pretty good at it.  They both swim all 4 strokes.  Alexa's best stroke is the breast, where Thomas' best is freestyle.  Today they competed in several events, too many to mention.  Alexa won 1st in the 200 IM and the 200 breaststroke.  Thomas finished 1st in the 100 freestyle and 3rd in the 100 butterfly, they both placed in other events also.  We are very proud of them both and enjoy watching and cheering them on not only at competitions but also practices.  Here are a few pictures I took today, they are not very good because I had a 4yr old (Nathan) attached to me!  I also have pictures of Thomas playing football, which he loves, that I need to post soon!

ONE BIG PRAISE TO OUR GOD
Mike was on the way home from work one day this week and God really prompted him to go inside a casino he was driving by.  Feeling very odd about the whole deal, he obeyed!  He walked around waiting on God to lead him and of course He did.  He was lead to witness to a gentleman playing a slot machine and was able to lead him to Christ.  His name was Cody, please keep him in your prayers that he was sincere and that he would grow in Christ!

Girl, you're crazy! These pics are GREAT! My nephews in Arizona swim on teams and love it. I think it's a great sport for the kids.
