Ye Haw

I got this hat in Spain last month. I have to say that it looks much cuter on the girls than it does on me.

Ouch!

It's has been about a month since Caden fell and did a number on his elbow. The scabs are gone and most of the skin is back. He is such a tough little guy. He took this spill at about 5:00 while out on the playground. He was upstairs playing basketball just a few hours later. And of course he HAD to go to school the next day to show off is battle scars.

Newest skill

The following clip is a surefire bore to anyone except grandparents and maybe a few aunts and cousins. It is a clip of Avery counting. That's it. I would like to get her on tape doing more exciting things, but she doesn't get the concept of the video camera. Whenever she sees it she wants to watch a video on it. So most of the footage I have of her contains her reaching out to the camera saying "watch Kayla" or "watch Avery" and crying because I won't let her. Because of this the following clip shows the back of her head. A lot.

Avery can count to ten. Most might not care, but her mommy is very proud.

Sports Day

Caden's school had it's annual Sports Day yesterday. For our little athlete, it is the best day of school. The fields are set up with numerous events for the kids to participate in. I got to go and be a volunteer and snap a few shots of Caden in action.

Wheel barrel

Volleyball

Hurdles

Parachute

End of the events. Heading in for lunch.

After lunch the kids, teachers and moms had races. I raced last year but Caden asked me not to race this year. It's all or nothing for him and he knew I wouldn't win. I didn't take any offense because I am not a runner. He had a great time and crashed hard last night. Way to go Caden.
