Swim Team and Axel's first concert

Almost every night we are at the pool. Phoenix practices from 6:15 to 6:45 and Axel now jumps in the pool after Phoenix until 7:45 pm. He did great this week going to the middle school practice Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

 Phoenix and Rubix have been getting in the habit of having a popsicle after Phoenix's practice. It is pretty unbelievable that Rubix is able to eat 90% of the popsicle without help.

 Rubix is becoming more interested in books, story time and building. Here he is after story time this past Thursday. He also wanted to do the little art project afterwards which was also a big progress in maturity for him.

 Phoenix likes to go to practice every day. This week she had to miss on Thursday because Axel had his first band concert. We had Monica come over to watch Rubix and Phoenix. It was nice so Keith and I could focus on enjoying Axel.  We invited Tyler, Cynthia and the twins Jade and Zoe.

Here is a very short clip of the jazz band playing.

 Jade and Zoe wanted to get a picture with Axel. They looked especially cute with their hair put up in little piglet buns.

 Rubix continues to like to be outside. He is becoming more independent in his play. He likes to look at bugs and he often brings them to me squished between his fingers. He then is sad when he puts them down and they don't move. I think he is finally understanding that when he squishes it they get hurt. I am hopeful that he will learn quickly not to do this. Here is a cute picture of him climbing on the big rocks that Axel enjoyed climbing on when he was little.

 I realized that I have not been taking very many photos so I grabbed an opportunity to take a picture of Axel reading. He has really gotten into every dragon book there is.

 Keith sent me some photos from his phone. Here is a picture from a few weeks ago after my ride.

Here are pictures from Phoenix's Spring concert that he captured. Phoenix has a Tirmisu hat on because that was her favorite treat. 

 Here is a picture with Adella and Kyla.

 Ms. Angelina and Ms. Naleeni are her two teachers.

 Here is Axel with green hair before practice yesterday after they had spirit day at school. Axel did a 21 second split on the first half of his 50 yard freestyle. He got a 47 second overall time because his transition was slow. He either needs to learn how to quickly touch and push off or he has to want to master the flip turn. Phoenix did a 1:03 25 yard free style yesterday with only 2 stops. We are super proud of how well the kids are swimming and how they are both trying so hard.
