Father's Day

Happy Father's Day! To two of the kindest, most supportive people I know. I love you both so much!

Sadee Has A Boyfriend?

After attending a barbeque with some friends last night, Dave and I discovered how extensive Sadee's social skills are and what adventures we have to look forward to with her in the future... or maybe now. After meeting my the kids of my friends family, Sadee decided to go and play with not the one her age (6), not the the older one(8), but the oldest boy, 12-years old! And you should have seen it. She was giggling in her little peach skirt and flip flops with her blond curls just bouncing around, all the while supporting this boy in his baseball game. Her dad and I stood back, speechless, as she smiled and teased this poor kid. Derek's dad said it best when he looked over to us laughing and exclaimed "That cutie is quite the flirt!" To make a long story short she chased him, tackled him, and even tried to kiss him, and after all the fun while walking away, said "Bye boyfriend."
Anyone up for rally forces with me when this kid starts dating??? HELP!!!

Memorial Day Adventures

Alisa and Ryan and Jeff and Brianne came up to visit over the weekend so you can imagine how excited our girls were. Sadee opened Nina's Pretty Princess Nail Parlor and gave Brianne and Alisa both manicures and hair treatments while Ava will do anything for Uncle Ryan's attention. They love their aunties and uncles so much. The kids had fun hiking and 4-wheeling today with family up in Spencer. We figured Sadee hiked more than anyone there today (and also had a 3.5 hr. nap afterwards).

Are You Watching the FUNNEST summer show??

Silly Sadee

I couldn't have captured a more authentic Sadee than with this picture. She is the giggle in our lives and finds everything funny! She says her eyes look like Igor's. :)

5K Run

Did I mention that I am coaching track next year? My new job as a 7th grade PE teacher includes helping with track which I am ultra-excited about. Our sixth-graders dominated in the district meet this month with our school taking first in almost half the races! I had a student run the 1600m in only 5:28! Last weer, having only ran a mile ever, four kids came out and joined me for a local 5K race. They all finished in under 25 minutes and some even placed. These kids were meant to run. So I couldn't be more proud as their mentor this year and look forward to seeing what they will accomplish next year in JH. I have the best job!

School's Out For Summer!

I officially have only 3 days until school is out for summer... horrah!! I am a list a mile long of things I am going to accomplish in the next 12 weeks like potty training Ava, swim lessons, organization of EVERY room in our house, yard work, training for races, t-ball games, becoming an aunt :), and much more. I know most people use summer for sleeping in... I am thinking I am going to continue to be up by 4:30am to get it all done. I am excited for summer though. First year we'll have a yard to play in. That alone has the girls shouting with energy. They want to be out there all the time.
