Field Day

Remember the 3 legged race or the potato sack race? The orange drink that will always remind you of that day if you taste or even smell it. I'm pretty sure that's not legal to give kids anymore.

Lucas had his first field day today. It's a little different at King's. First of all 6th graders are in charge of running it while being overseen by the PE teacher Mr. Berg. They were awesome. Kept it all under control and very encouraging to all the kids. I was quite impressed with them all. They split the girls and boys up for competition which is great idea. But they didn't have the 3 legged race or potato sack race. Bummer.

With some of his buddies at school

Lucas was awesome though. He's a fast little kid. He came in 2nd in both his races (the 50 and 400 meter). Yes, he ran the whole way around the track. I'm pretty sure he was 2nd in the baseball toss too but they don't give out ribbons so I'm not sure. Well, they give out participation ribbons but I got him a 2nd place medal anyway.

Our blest life is crazy but we have so much to be grateful for and a lot of great people to surround us. Lucas has 10 days of school left. Crazy huh? I can't believe that I will have a 1st grader. Teacher is winding down his 1st year of teaching. It's been super hard but they love him there and I think he does an excellent job. Nora has a few days of school left too. The kids are gearing up for a summer full of baseball and gymnastics, 3 different VBS groups, and we are going on 3 road trips. And a lot of time with Daddy since I will be working a lot. Good thing they have such a fabulous dad.

Our wild weekend

Mommy was away in Phoenix this weekend for the wedding of her dear friend Becky and celebrated with my other college best friend Trish. Lots of fun!
Taking a hike today. Lucas pulled this move on Nora.

I got in this morning at 9:15 after a long night of waiting for traveling (I had 1 hour of sleep)

Nora with her main man.

Ted got to go on a field trip with Lucas this last week to the zoo.

Catching up one more time...our computer is back (3rd time)
