Fun Stuff

 Above is Carter all set to ride in the St. Jude Children's Cancer Research Bike-a-thon.  Carter raised $37 dollars and rode with his classmates to support children who are not as lucky to be as healthy as he is.  He was so very proud during the race.

 Hailey was a prairie girl today at school.  They went to a country school all day to mimic the life of prairie children.    She was pretty excited about using slates, chalk, and packing her plastic free lunch with a tin cup.

 A good captain never abandons his ship.

 Friday night was Creative Expression night at Taylor's school.  We were lucky that Grandpa and Grandma were in town for the state tournament that they were able to come and hear her poem called "Smiling".  She did a spectacular job!

 Taylor and some of the girls from her class.  They were all quite shy during their presentations, but afterward they all wanted the microphone.

Macey and her family were also up cheering on SWC in the state boys basketball tournament.  It was fun going to a couple games.

 The ice rink next door didn't get much use this winter, but oddly enough my kids had the best time ever helping Josh take it apart.  The worked so hard and really stayed focused for over 2 hours.

The next day they were surprised when Josh showed up with cash to pay them for all their hard work.

 The tramp is up and the kids started where they left off last fall with their skills on the tramp.

Above is Taylor after a few "super jumps" from daddy.

 Hailey and Taylor had Hawaiian Day at school.

 These next couple of pictures are of our trip to NW Iowa to visit family.  While we were there, we enjoyed some 5th and 6th grade basketball tournies of their cousins.  It was so fun for the kids all to get together; it was the first we had seen of everyone since Florida.
