Henry's Swim Team Party

Henry had his end of season party at Southern Trace a couple days after the City Swim Meet.  The party was at the pool, they received awards, and played games.

Thankfully, Amy was able to take Henry for me because my dad was having a defibrillator placed at the same time.  Thankful for friends who help me so much!  

Sadly, we weren't there for our boy.  I am so sad about this.  We needed to be there for him!  

Henry with his medal and 14th place ribbon.

He thought the ribbon was a 4th place, but who cares!

Way to go!

Thanks to Jenna for taking these fabulous pics for me!

We are so proud of you Henry!  You tried something new and didn't give up!

Henry's City Swim Meet

We are so proud of Henry trying swim team and finishing strong!  He shaved over 50 seconds off his freestyle score from the first meet to the last, won his heat for backstroke at City Meet, AND won a 14th place ribbon for the freestyle relay!  Gooooo Henry!

Rocking that speedo!

Pops came by to watch him

His ready stance kills me

Swimmers take your mark...

YEAH!

wooohooooo!  Heat winner!

This cute picture is the one I saved from ShreveportTimes.com

Henry's 3rd Swim Meet

Henry had a great 3rd meet in Minden today.  He rocked that swimming!  His first race was a freestyle relay.  He was the 1st and 4th swimmer!  So cool!

Since we are the sharks he wanted me to draw a shark on his back this week.  I'm not artist that's for sure!  

It looks pregnant!

He loved the blocks!

Good jump, Henry!

4th swimmer on the relay!

Our girl was having so much fun at her friend's house while we went to the meet!

Look who came from Ruston to watch!!  Woohoo!

Henry's 2nd swim meet

Henry really improved from his first swim meet to his second one!  He shaved 53 seconds off his freestyle score!  I mean WOW!  All this practice is paying off for sure!

He did swim backstroke the entire way down the pool, but turned over on the last stroke and did freestyle. :)

This is Megan who was waiting for him to get back so she could swim.

Getting ready for backstroke!

He won this certificate!!  He really wants to win ribbons so badly!

Henry's first swim meet

Henry and swim team is a nice match.  He tells Amy (his swim coach) that it's fun and he loves it.  He tells me that he doesn't want to go and it makes his legs hurt.  All I know is we aren't quitting!

His first meet was a success!  By success I mean he swam in 3 races and finished each one.  He was Disqualified on each race, but I am just so glad he swam!  He did the freestyle relay, 25M freestyle, and 25M backstroke.  All the kids in the relay did something to make us DQ, not sure what he did on his 25M free, but he swam freestyle on the backstroke.  

His ready stance is BOSS!  Bennett taught him that!

YES!

Good looking dive

He loves the writing on the back!

He got this sweet certificate for his effort!  Way to go, Henry!
