Chlorine Is His Cologne

Have I ever mentioned how cool my siblings are?  I mean, seriously!  Taylor is like the hot shot on campus, Austin is freakin smart and knows exactly what he wants, and Katie...well, you know all about her.  And to top it off, they are all on the Student Council.  So everyone knows them, everyone loves them, and they all love each other.  It's so much fun to hear their stories from school: guess who I saw today!!  ...and they were all, ya know your the only freshman I talk to.  your cool.  Or Austin talks about how most of the people he talks to and sits with at lunch are the seniors.  I think Taylor really enjoys the whole school (teachers included) referring to Austin and Katie as "related to Taylor."  Apparently, Taylor is known at school as "Webb" or "T Webb" Austin as "little Webb" or "little T Webb" and Katie as "little little Webb" or "little little T Webb".

So about Taylor.  He is a star swim champ.  A new High School in the area opened up this year and any junior or senior who wanted to go it, could.  So most of Timberview's swim team switched over to Lake Ridge.  The entire senior class at Lake Ridge is maybe 300 at most.  I think I remember Taylor saying something like 240 seniors.  And 12 of them are swimmers.  It's soo cool because this makes the most well-known kids on campus the swimmers.

Anyway, so districts was this last weekend and Lake Ridge made it to Regionals!!

But let me back up about three days.  The swim team began this journey by tapering.  Which basically means they didn't lift a finger for the whole week.  Besides going to school, coach tells them to sit around and do nothing.  Even at school --  they take the elevator.  Can you believe it??

Day of districts.  Practice starts at 4.  His two races begin at 6.

A good family friend of ours was afraid he wasn't going to do so well in one of his races then he took first.  Another family friend just plain out rocks.

As for Taylor.  Just amazing.  He did so well!!  As proven by the following pictures.

And just to note: Lake Ridge made it to Regionals as did a select few including Taylor and our two family friends.

Congratulations!!
