The Oldroyd Family

I was lucky enough to get the chance to go to Colorado for 8 days (by myself!) to help Tiffany after the birth of her 4th little miracle. It was heaven! The plan was for me to be there for Aiden's birth, but he decided to make his appearance early so I missed that. But I got there just in time to relieve Grandma from the sleepless nights. I love new babies so it was heaven! Is there anything better than napping with a tiny baby? Aident James Walker

We decided to do swim team for the first time this year with the Long Meadow Farms Stars. Everyone was so excited! Here they are on the first of practice in May: Well... the water was cold and swimming was hard! Max never got back in. Alexa was a BEAUTIFUL swimmer and did awesome for the first 2 practices. But after one lane on the 3rd day, she was done. No amount to punishment or bribery could convince her to get back in the pool. I was so sad! Nathan stuck with it... Here he is on his first swim meet. He's such a good little swimmer - and fast! He continued to work hard and got better at each meet. On the last week before semi-finals, he FINALLY got Star of the Week! Nathan made the relay team for District Finals on July 8th and they got first place! It's off to All Stars now! (From left: Brylon, Nathan, Tripp, and Hayden) The boys had to get up early for AllStarts this morning and the pool at the Natatorium was FREEZING! But they swam their lit...

Last night was one of the BEST nights of my life. We saw the Garth Brooks World Tour concert with our good friends, Bart & Brooke Brooks. Garth didn't even come out until almost 11:30pm and the concert didn't end until 1:30am!  Instagram caption: "It's 11:16pm and I'm at a concern that hasn't even started yet. What am I, 20? SO EXCITED! #aintgoindowntillthesuncomesup") Garth Brooks is one of the greatest showmen that has ever lived. He's 53 years old and this was his 2nd show of the night and he ran around that stage like a rock star. I'll never forget it! It was so incredible. Many thanks to our awesome friends who invited us to go!

Happy 4th! And Happy 13 MONTHS to my baby boy!
