New Year, New Blog

Welcome 2015! The Andersons are ready for you! This year I am going to blog and share pictures of my great little family! Finally! lol! So many people have asked, so I am finally ready to do it. With 2014 finishing up, we were super busy. Ryan qualified for AAU Cross Country Nationals in Lawrence, Kansas. He and Shawn made the trip the first of December. They had a wonderful time! Ryan ran great and got to experience the "Big Stage". He came backed super pumped and hoping to go again in 2015. I am so proud of him. He is a dedicated little runner at the age of 10. Running 3 days a week. Now that the official Cross Country season is over he will be doing several road races. I can't wait to see how he does. Kit Kat is training HARD right now. There are just 2 more short course meets of the season. She is hoping to get an A time (USA 10 & Under cut) before the season is over. She just might do it. She is determined! I think her best bet is in the 100 free. She is just about 1/2 a sec. off. She qualified for her first BIG usa swimming BB & UP meet this weekend. She is just one of a handful of 8 year olds that made it. You had to have at least 3 BB times (she has 6.) So since this is a 10 & Under division she will be the youngest and also get to swim some events that are new to her. The 500 free is Friday. She is ready! I look at that and she Amazes me that she is so driven at such a young age. Both Ryan and Kit Kat are. I guess since Shawn and I are competitive people they just naturally get it. lol! Wish us luck this weekend. The meet is 3 days long. That is a long time for Ryan to come and support his sister! lol! I did find him a friend to hang with on Friday and then he will be going to Cub Scouts & church Sunday with my brother-in-law so he gets a break from the Nat. I think he can handle one day there. :) That is one thing that we do stress in both Ryan and Kit Kat is to be there and support each other in their sports. Ryan has spent many of hours hanging at various pools and Kit Kat hanging early in the morning on her days off at races cheering each other on. :) Happy New Year to you all! Bring on 2015!
