Unbelievable!

I can NOT believe my baby turned 9. How crazy is that?

Shayna's Birthday was on a Thursday this year. Thursday's are one of our busiest days. All we could do was hurry and open her present, eat dinner and then head our separate ways. Tyler took Britton to soccer and I took Shay to swimming.

Shayna decided not to have a friend party this year and we had a busy week so we told her we could celebrate her Birthday ALL WEEKEND long. Friday night Shay had a swim meet! This is the first time she swam with her new team. She had to swim 50's so her race included the flip turn. And she was swimming against 10 year olds. She did so good. She swam the Butterfly and Freestyle. She took 2nd in Butterfly in her heat and 1st in Freestyle in her heat. However overall she didn't place that well. I thought she did really well but she was so bummed. She even begged me not to blog about it but after talking to her she said it would be ok. She is very hard on herself. She took 11th and 14th. Swimming against 35 other girls I think she placed really well.
Saturday morning Britton had a soccer game. They ended up losing. so sad. But after the game we headed to the lake. Shayna loves to go to the lake with her dog! This is what she chose to do as part 1 of her Birthday celebration.

We were there ALL DAY LONG and had so much fun! We will be doing this a lot during the summer.....I can't wait!
Unfortunately Part 2 of the Birthday celebration didn't go according to plan. We were supposed to go to adventure dome but........

Shay got so sick. It was so sad. She was so excited to go to adventure dome. We will be taking her in a couple of weeks to make up for it. Poor girl.

Happy Birthday Shayna! You are such a special little girl and I am so thankful you are mine!!
