Cody passes Kumon Reading Level GII

Cody passed level GII for reading today. He scored 100% which is the first time either one of the boys hit the mark.

Perfect score

Cody makes his first state meet and Tyler goes as well

As luck would have it, the Colorado Swim State meet and the RMSG badminton competition was on the same weekend and the same location. This meant that I could attend both events and watch them swim. Siew Gin got to take them to swim on Saturday and Sunday, but as they were swimming late in the afternoon I could see them after setup and competition.

Cody got a few PB's. Tyler only managed a relay PB, but overall they had a lot of fun.  We were particularly proud of Cody as the time standards are for 10&U and Cody qualified when he was 8.

Badminton at Westminster Rec Center

We started Boulder Badminton Club back in 2002 with just a few players.  Today we had 70 people show up to play/practice.  Over the next few months the floor will be replaced at the rec center, but hard to believe how big the club has grown.

Need more courts!

Hardwood floor upgrade

We finally got rid of our bedroom carpets and replaced them with hardwood.  Siew Gin and the boys were away so it was the perfect time to get it done.  The boys helped me empty all the bedrooms and I ripped out the carpets, underlay and trim so we could save a few dollars!

Damith also installed fans in the boys bedroom with a little help from me. So overall a big improvement.

USA Tri 60

The Rocky Mountain State Games has a lot of events and athletes.  This year I again was commissioner for badminton, but it just so happened that the indoor triathlon was held a few weekends earlier so all 3 of the boys (Alan, Cody, Tyler) could take part in this event.

For me it was a 10 minute swim (500 yards), 30 minute bike (15.8 miles) and 20 minute run (2.92 miles).

For Cody 5 minute swim (300 yards), 15 minute bike (6 miles) and 10 minute run (1 mile)

For Tyler 5 minute swim (350 yards), 15 minute bike (9 miles) and 10 minute run (1.18 miles)

I finished first in my age group, Tyler also finished 1st, and Cody (same age group as Tyler finished 2nd.

It was fun and we will try and do it again next year depending on schedule.

If only my flip turn was better
