State Fair

The third grade presents the State Fair every year.  Connor, Eliot and Ben presented a fantastic presentation about Alaska.

Then a singing presentation - it is great to see what the kids have been working on and getting to see all the kids interacting.

Opening Day Game

Who is the opening day starting pitcher for the Nationals Triple AAA team?   Number 1. That would be our man Connor.   As the youngest player on the team, what a remarkable accomplishment.  

Two innings well pitched and also the lead off hitter.  We love to watch you play and love seeing that smile on your face.  

Opening Day Parade

Spring baseball has finally arrived and we were ready for the Opening Day Parade.  I may be biased but my boys are looking sharp.  

Emily is the boys biggest supporter and she couldn't wait to cheer them on.

Hi Daddy and Garrett!

Connor almost made it by us before we saw him but look at that smile.

I think the kids are somewhere in there.  It was a beautiful day and definitely fun to celebrate the start of another baseball season.  Good Luck boys!

Derby Time

Another Saturday and we were off to all the sports games for the kids.  Once again, we watched Emily have a stellar performance in soccer.

But the kids weren't the only ones having fun today.  Brian and I headed out to a Kentucky Derby party on this beautiful day.

A great event and a superb fundraiser!!

Elsa Anyone

The boys are off running their race and Emily is off to a birthday party.  So excited because it is an Elsa party.  Can you tell?

Third Grade Mayrathon

Connor did a great job asking for pledges from all of us.  He called everyone and personally asked and I am proud to give him donations because of his determination and professional way he raised his donations.  Now time to hit the course and run.

All the grade starting off and he is right next to his buddy Harrison.

Connor cruising through his third lap.  

Heartbreak Hill was tough but look who comes up it again. 

And now for the finish. 

All five laps completed.  Connor should be celebrating because he was worried he wouldn't be able to finish.  No problem.  

Celebrate!

And of course we found Emma too!

Super job - even with an untied shoe but that is your style.  We love you!

Marathon

Today is Mayrathon day at school.  This is a school fundraiser where the kids called all their family members to ask for donations for each lap they run.  This year we are all excited that they are raising money for Melonoma research which is near and dear to all of our family.

First up, Garrett and his first grade classes.

It didn't take him long to find a rhythm and take off. 

Two laps down.  

On his third lap, G is still cruising. If they complete five laps around the school it is a total of 3 miles.  That is quite an accomplishment for anyone.  

Garrett flying in finishing his fifth lap to the finish line.

No problem and loving his treat.   Now time to celebrate with his buddies. 

Congrats on a great run and for raising money for such a great cause.
