These are just random shots from the Gymnastics day... some were taken by me, some by T. But all were lots of fun. I'll just let you enjoy them.
Love and... we just miss you.

Track and Field competition
I took some random pics from the final Track and Field day to share with you. She felt good about her performance, and we were all proud of her too.
she ran the hurdles in 6 seconds... very fast!
note the family support in the background for the javelin throw.
I never heard her distance... but her tape was furthest for the standing long jump.
look at that perfect form in the shot put.
And uncorrected red eye aside... I love the look on her face, while showing off her very nice medal.
and a shot with her coaches.

The boy's day...
The last post featured the girl... so this time I thought I'd show some things the boy keeps busy with.
enough of that. Lets go this way...
never mind, he wants to go the barn
After blowing bubbles and wondering aimlessly for a little bit.... We go inside to wear cooking pots on our head.
And that is about it.

And that is about it.Love and simple things
busy from sun up to sun down
Saturday morning I woke up and took the dog out... and the sunrise was so beautiful.
We ate breakfast, then left for Track and Field practice. Today they ran relays.
Threw the "shot put" with baseballs as substitutes.
And learned how to pass the baton.
After Track and Field. We ate lunch, then returned home to enjoy the beautiful weather.
Oh, did I mention that we bought a kite today? She is a champion kite flyer... 
We really missed having you here for this honey, It doesn't seem right to fly kites without you around.
After we were done with that, we decided to start some seeds. We have about 8 weeks until time to plant in the garden.
There will be plenty of tomatoes and peppers this year. We started daisy seeds too, just because I love daisies.
After staying outside all afternoon, we came in for supper and to relax before bed.
When I took the dog out one last time. I noticed the sunset, it was the perfect end to this great day.

When out in the Kitchen there arose such a clatter...
I sprang from my computer to see what was the matter.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear?
But a sweet little boy all tangled and stuck in my Pampered Chef entertaining plate holder. 
Okay so the poem loses a little something in the adaptation. But it was kinda funny to walk out in the kitchen to find him stuck tight. I don't know how he got in there, but he was like the proverbial turtle stuck on his back. He couldn't get up, or move anywhere really. He was just waiting for someone to come rescue him. After I finished laughing, called in his sister so she could laugh, and took pictures, I carefully dislodged him from the tower. It was a rather complicated operation, but he hasn't tried to play with it since... so lesson learned.
Love and tight places.

Track and Field updated
Okay blog followers. Here are the first week pics from Track and Field classes.
They began by running lots of relay races, sometimes running, sometimes skipping or hopping. K tried really hard to come in first every time. (I see a competitive spirit in her.)
Then they learned the finer points of the standing long jump.
She did very well... it brought back fond memories for me. I loved the long jump when I was in track.
On to week two...

Here are a few shots of Track and Field training held every Saturday at the YMCA. 
We help set up the "hurdles" so the kids can run a race.
While big sis practices throwing a javelin. She is really quite good. She threw the farthest in her group.
Here she is running the hurdles race. There is another kid racing off to her left. She beat him a couple times.

Love and.... (wait for it, wait for it.)
Hurdles (heehee that one is for you Jessy)
It occured to me....
That you haven't met the newest member of our family yet. This is Snicklefritz, he is our new cat. He lives in the barn.
Please don't feel sorry for him, as the weather is nice and he has all the amenities. And he is WAY better off than the place we rescued him from.
I believe he has been getting more attention than the indoor cat lately. We all want to be outside while the temps are in the 60's and 70's and "Snick" is never too far away.
He is so happy here he is smiling.
Love and Meow.
