Last Day of School

My babies are growing up WAY too fast!  Today was their last day of school and man has it been a year...  Highs, lows, challenges and successes - we definitely had it all.  I can't believe that next year we will have a 7th, 5th, 3rd and 1st graders.  Wow, time flies!

Memorial Day

Memorial Day at Ronnie and Chris's was a bit chilly this year, but we made the most of it with warm clothes, a fire and lots of bean bags!  We had fun as always and even got a picture with all the cousins (missing only one)...  Love this family!

Beau's Class Play

The 4th graders do a play each year about Laura Ingalls Wilder.  I got to go in and watch Beau play Pa this year in the play.  He did a great job and it was fun to see him and his friends do their acting...

Trap Team

Brody decided that he wanted to try out the Trap Shooting Club this year.  It is the first year that they have had a team in Sebeka and he didn't know a lot about it, but thought it sounded like a lot of fun.  They have been practicing and competing for the past couple of months, once a week.  He was really nervous to even shoot the gun when they started, very worried about the kick back that the gun was going to have.  Last night was their last competitive night and he scored his top score of 29 out of 50.  It is fun to see the improvement that he made throughout the season!

Brody's Track Meet

Brody had his 2nd and final track meet of his 6th grade year last night and did well once again!  He took 3rd place in the discus and tried out a 4x1 relay team this meet.  He was with 3 other boys and he started the first leg of the relay.  Their team took 1st place, with a super close finish!

Post Wrestling Season Awards!

We missed the wrestling awards banquet since we were out of town, but this kid had a huge smile on his face when he saw what was waiting for him in our entryway when we got home!  Most wins at the kindergarten level for the UNC wrestling team.  He ended the year with 23 wins and 12 losses.  What a great year for him!

Track and Field Day

This was the first track and field day that I was able to go to on my own.  Usually I am lugging daycare kids or at least one of my own kids (last year with Braxton).  This year it was me in the mom section, cheering them on and trying to find them all over the field! :)  Bella and Braxton had their time this morning, we broke for lunch (and a meeting for me) and then came back in the afternoon for Brody and Beau to do their thing.  It was a fun day, even though it was a little chilly to be hanging out outside and the kids were excited to do their events...

Braxton's Field Trip

I got to go on the Kindergarten field trip yesterday with Braxton!  They went to Olson's Custom Farm Services, here in Sebeka and then headed over to Hub 71 for a tour and some ice cream.  I think that the ice cream was their favorite part, but they had a lot of fun in both places and asked a lot of great questions...

Brody's First Track Meet

Brody decided that he wanted to try track this year, so he has been practicing for a few weeks on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.  His first meet was cancelled due to weather and he missed his second one due to his class trip, so this was his first meet of the season.  He ended up placing 5th in the discus, didn't place in the 100 meter dash and got 1st in the shot put.  Not too shabby for his first time out.  We'll see how next year goes - he is already talking about pole vault! Yikes!!
