The Fun has arrived

My kids think this guy- Uncle Ben face - as they call him, is the funniest guy around and he came to town tonight!

Just a little taste of the state of my house tonight. Disaster zone!

We had a great time at Discovery Place together today! So many fun things to play with. So fun to have cousins around!

Party Day!

Sydney and Mrs. Poling

Spencer and Ms. Wunsch

I took Grace with me to Spencer and Sydney's end of year parties today and then we had lunch with Abbie. It was super fun! Thanks to Aly for staying home with the 1 year old crowd. The kids have had a great year and we have loved their teachers!

FHE outside on a beautiful evening

Fun times! So fun to have Aly and her kids in town! And... I LOVE my new camera : )

Another crazy Saturday!

Alyson and I ran a 5K this morning. Her first race ever! It was great and we both felt good about our times!
Spencer and Sydney had a piano recital this afternoon and both did a great job! Spencer played the Star Wars Theme and Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. Sydney played Sonatina.
Abbie and Sydney raced in another Triathlon this evening. Abbie improved a TON on her swim and bike now that she doesn't have training wheels on. She is a great little runner too! Nice job Abbie!

Sydney had a great race as well! A super fun day!

Swim team fun meet

Sydney is AWESOME at breast stroke!

Spencer and his relay team - Matt, Dylan, Spencer and Riley

The kids had a fun meet tonight with another neighborhood team and they all did great! Swim team started last Tuesday and has been rained out at least 3 times so they have really only been in the water a handful of times. Abbie wasn't scheduled to swim tonight but was so excited about it that when an 8 year old got too scared to swim, she jumped right in and took her place. Abbie is still working on getting across the pool without stopping and she did a great job - especially swimming against 8-9 year olds. Sydney and Spencer both were on relay teams that won their heat and got ribbons. A fun meet for sure!

Econ day!

The kids got to sell the products that they made today to the other third grade classes. Each student got $12 of play money to spend and they had a great time! Both kids sold out of their products pretty early and had to raise their price to meet demand. Fun learning experience!
