Such Studs!

I'm so proud of my girls and how active they've become this summer.  They've always enjoyed being outside and running around, but they're both finding their niches with Brooklynn swimming and Chandler playing soccer.

Brooklynn is now in her 2nd session of swim lessons this summer, and we've seen such improvement in her skills.  She has no fear of water and will try anything new (unlike most other things in her life).  She has mastered back floats, torpedos, somersaults underwater, and braving the big waterslides on her own.

Her first time on the diving board, and she rocked it!

She even goes down the slide unassisted now.

Chandler has done a complete 180 from soccer last year.  Steve spent most games holding her hand, while she whimpered and cried.  This year she was so ready to get out there and score some goals.  She's always been extremely athletic and fast, so we knew once she was emotionally ready she'd succeed.  She has scored at least 1 goal in each of her three games and isn't afraid to get in there and steal the ball (even from her own teammates).

*See goal video below.  I couldn't figure out how to put it on the same post.
