Two Birthdays and a Swim Meet

A {quick} update.

Things are still crazy.  Non-stop.  Whirlwind-ish.

In the middle of all the commotion, I have to take a moment (or two) to commemorate a few events.

Bill
My main man.  My hero.  The ketchup to my fries.  The ade to my lemon.  The float to my root beer.  

He's another year older (and wiser, too).

We celebrated with a trip to Five Guys, per Lexee's suggestion.

(Yes, the cake was ugly.  I am definitely NOT at the top of my cake-decorating game.)

Lynnea had a birthday the same day.  She's exactly half the age of Bill this year.  How cool is that?

We had to send our Birthday wishes over the phone and via the postman.  (AND via blogspot.)

Happy Birthday, Lynnea!

If you were here, I would have made you a cake.  Maybe it's good that you weren't, given my attack of uglycake-itis.

AND on the same day, Shilo had her final dual swim meet of the high school season against a cross-town rival.  Here's her first event, the medley relay:

I think they lost the race to the rival, and they were a mere .02 of a second away from a state qual time, but they handily won the meet AND the Pride of Parker trophy, awarded when one school defeats BOTH in-town rival schools in a single sports season.  Shilo also achieved her best times yet in her 100Fly and 100Back.  She has one more chance this upcoming weekend to make a personal state qualifying time.  She is sooooooooo close in both events.

Here's her 400 free relay team, already headed for state:

Nice job, girls!

That's all I got {time} for today.
