Aubriella made it clear to Zac and I from the beginning of August that she wanted to be enrolled in gymnastics. However, being that Zac is going to school full time there was no way we could afford to enroll her in that this year. We get a Y membership for very very cheap this year. Also, we are able to enroll our kids into lessons for about half of the normal cost of the class. Thank you YMCA for helping us out this year! As an alternative we offered to her to take up swimming lessons. She started lessons in November. She is all smiles during her entire lesson. Her teachers have been so kind in leaving comments like: Briel is just my favorite! She swims very well and learns very quickly. Beautiful and talented young lady. Keep up the good work. Great student to have.
I do not list the comments to boast about Aubri but rather just enjoy that she can shine in her own setting with others. Sometimes I think she falls into that typical middle child mold and it is such a blessing to see her enjoy herself and see others enjoy her outside of the home. Swimming has become a great outlet for her while she gains confidence in herself and works on a strength of hers. She has recently asked to take a month off because it's just too cold to go outside after she has been swimming!
We have currently enrolled her and Micah into Tumbling Tots on Tuesdays. She has her class from 9:00-9:45 and Micah has his from 10:00-10:45. Although she enjoys it I think it is not as challenging for her as swimming was. Aubri said she plans to return to swimming nextmonth. Being that she is not in preschool and Micah is not in anything, Tumbling Tots is a nice compromise to get them out of the house and interacting with people their own age in a structured setting.

Brag all you want about that cutie! All of your children have wonderful smiles--you are raising joyful children and I'm sure they bring joy to those around them!
Glad that Aubri is enjoying swimming lessons! She's a cute little fish!
