Volleyballin'

Volleyball season is underway!  Nicole made the JV team and was selected as one of the co-captains with her friend Rachael.  She also gets to practice with the Varsity on occasion and even played briefly on Varsity when one of their Middle Blockers had to miss a match for her sister's wedding.  The JV is undefeated so far and looking great.  Should be a fun season.

Here she is being introduced at "Meet the Eagles" an annual event where all the fall athletes are introduced prior to the season.  She's so purdy :)

We'd love for you to come see her play in the awesome Prosper High Arena.  Click here to see the 2010 schedule.

Cool Cupcake Cozy

I ran across this really cool idea for making a reusable cupcake cozy.  I have seen/made the paper ones, but never thought of embroidering one for long term use.  To find out how to make these super cool cups click here!

Maybe I'll be able to find some time to make some once the kids are back in school - only a week away!

Swim School Is "Way Cool"

Nicole was recently asked if she could teach swimming lessons to an adorable little preschooler.  I know... whaaaaaaat? We Romneys can swim, but we're not exactly known as having exceptionally spectacular swim skills.  It turns out the little guy just needs some one on one water time a few days a week, so Nicole dove right in and accepted the offer!

They have been doing the usual holding on to the side of the pool and kicking, practicing treading water, and he can even swim a short distance to get to her.

But what they really like to do is jump in

I'm hoping they'll come up soon!

Phew - they made it!

But of course her little student had a better idea. . .

You may think he was super brave and jumped in himself. . .

No, he gave Nicole his bestest little grin and got her to jump in with him on her shoulders!!!

Of course she did it, because they have a little mutual admiration thing going.  He told his dad that he has a new swim teacher named "way cool" (awesome! sounds like Nicole right:), and that she is "weally pwetty."

I know, adorable!
