Ky's Jetboat Fieldtrip

Ky and his 3rd grade class went on a fieldtrip up to the Klamath Jet Boats. Aaron took the day off to go with him. They had a blast! It was great weather and the boats were jammin'. They rode way up river and saw lots of wildlife. Ky said the best part was the 360's! What a great fieldtrip!

Caitlyn's Songflute Concert

Yes, we called them "recorders" when I went to school....but now they are songflutes. Caitlyn was taught songflutes in class and she was invited to play in the Spring Concert. She was so excited! After a few song she was even chosen by her music teacher to be a student leader while he played the piano. We were all very impressed. Now she has the music bug and wants to play the flute next year!

Family Bike Ride

A few weeks ago we took advantage of the non-rainy day and went on a family bike ride. We went out Elk River and rode our bikes up the the old town of Faulk. We also stopped to see the sights and throw rocks and sticks into the water. It was a great afternoon, topped off with ice cream at Fresh Freeze!

A quick, but Awesome track season!

Blaine ran track this year for the first time. He only had 4 track meets, but he was awesome! Yesterday was his final meet. He got 1st in every event he ran: the mile, the 800m, the 400m and the 200m! He bettered his times in each event everytime he ran! He did awesome! He is excited about running, and we might have found a new spring sport! (it is hard to take running photos!)

We finally did it!

The progression of becoming a Big Boy!

All smiles at first...

Shouldn't this be on my head?

This lady is really gettin' on my nerves!

The fun is quickly wearing off..

A big boy..yes, that is Luke!

Ok, with much regret I must report that Luke had his first haircut. He is still absolutely adorable, but all the curls are gone. I took him to the mall and the lady cut it all off. I saved a bag of curls, but we still miss them. He looks so "big boy!" Here are the photos of the event. Notice there aren't many at the end, that is when he was sitting on my lap kicking and screaming! But the cookie at the end made it all better.

Christian Outdoorsmen

Aaron took the two younger boys, Ky & J, to Christian Outdoorsmen for a weekend of fun and fellowship. They stayed in the cabins at TLC and shot guns, played paintball, did archery, and hung out with lots of other guys. They had so much fun. They won lots of "cool" guns, sleeping bags and "boy things." It was a great time for the boys and dad!

While they were gone Caitlyn and I redid the laundry room. It is so cheerful and bright now. A joy to do laundry (hee hee).

Kyler's Baseball

Ky is playing baseball this year, it is his first year. He is really loving the game and doing awesome. He is in coach pitch and just loves hitting the ball and making outs. We are only 1/2 way through the season, so I'm sure we'll have lots more exciting games!
