Sportin' the Doo-Rag

Here's Wyatt! Uncle Matt tied this Bandanna from the LR Marathon around Wyatt's head...he seemed to think it was pretty cool!


 

Little Rockers' Marathon!

Kylie trained this year and accumulated 25.2 miles over the past 6 weeks then rand her last mile in the Little Rockers' Marathon along with 1200 other kids aged 7-12! She ran with her friends: Ella, Ethan, and Adrienne! They had a great time, and I'm pretty sure they RAN the whole mile! Great Job!


 

Little Rock Marathon!

My brother, Matt, and I ran the half marathon relay this relay which amounts to 6.6 miles each. As a team I'm pretty sure we finished just under 2 hours - Yeah!


Here's my good friend, Angela. She ran the full 26.2 miles in about 4 hours and 14 minutes - You Go Girl, Awesome!

Here are a couple pics of Matt and I in front of the State Capitol! 

More Upward Basketball!

Here's Kylie! This was her first year to play, too! She played awesome the last quarter of the last game. She shot about four times, then got to shoot a free throw and made it! Great Job Kylie!

FYI - to teach the kids "who to guard" they have five different colored wrist bands and the kids "pair up". So all they have to do is find the child on the other team with the same color wrist band - pretty cool!


 

Upward Basketball!

We had the last game of the season this past Saturday! Bryce had a great time learning how to play!
It can be so frustrating trying to get them to understand the basics of the game, but Upward did an awesome job! Bryce learned and improved a ton in the ten weeks he got to play!
Great Job Bryce!

 

Valentine's Day!

We made our annual heart shaped, sugar cookies again this year. It just wouldn't be Valentine's Day without them. It looks like we had some red Kool-Aid, too!

Bryce is proud of the cookies he made!
Notice Dayne's Black eye...he was trying to run between the open pantry door and the counter...he didn't quite make it. He hit right on the corner of the counter top...OUCH!







Here are the last remnants of Wyatt's cookie...YUM! 

Reptiles!

Kylie's class at the Home School Academy got to go the the Arkansas Children's Museum for a field trip. At the time they were having a Reptile Exhibit. This is a Leopard Gecko.

Okay...yuck...a gigantic snake...I think it's an albino something or other...yeah...just a big snake! She thinks they're pretty cool, but show her a spider of any kind and watch out...she'll jump up into your arms to get away!
A couple more snakes! They learned quite a bit about snakes and were even on TV for about a half of a second - pretty cool!
