May we keep moving forward.

Jo and I made it to one of Derian's last track meets and, my, oh my, is she a good distance runner!

She threw the mini javelin and ran the 400 with a heck of a good kick on the last straight stretch which gave her a personal best.  And an Aunt who now owes her an ice-cream.

Cold and wet day but worth the trip.

Lit the Fire Pit!

Hot dogs and smores with Ian (neighbor).

Love eating outside as the hotdogs just taste better.

Sunshine & Rain

With a little rain and sunshine the kids played a bit outside.

Cole jumping his bike while Jo hand painted a stick with mud.

(Yeah, we don't know why either other than it's her imagination and she is just darn funny)

Doug too is enjoying the sunshine.

And the fact we are all outside more often.

Baseball Season.

Cole at 3rd base and batting.

Jo doing things she loves during a game.

Walking around and doing anything else but watching the game.

Cole is really playing well at catcher this year.

Always hustling and working hard behind the plate.

He is very serious this year too.
Cole: "I'm mad at my team, they are in the dug out laughing and smiling!  Don't they realize we lost again!!!"

4th Grade Track Meet

The kids participated in a track meet and did very well.

Cole: 2nd in 50m, 3rd in 400m & one participation ribbon.

Jo: 2nd in 400m, one 3rd, two 4th & one 5th in I don't know what.

Year 10 just around the corner for these two!
