TRACK AND FIELD DAY

Every year the elementary school has a track and field day. Parker was sooo excited! He has been "training" all week for a relay with three friends. His relay team tied for first place. He couldn't have been more pleased! He also participated in the long jump, 60 yard dash, obstacle course, rock wall and some water fun, too.



This was Everett's first track and field day...he was a little unsure about what was in store. All morning, he kept saying that he didn't want to go. He refused to put on shorts and left the house a little stressed. Parker's reassuring words that it was going to be fun didn't ease his nerves. Luckily, he had a blast!! He dug for gummy worms, played in the water and loved the obstacle course. He received a purple ribbon for participation.

T BALL HERE I COME

Everett is signed up for T-ball this spring. He is soooo excited! Dad is kinda excited too! Branden just went and bought a bat, 5 balls, a helmet, & batting trainer. Everett wanted to get right on practicing. So, out to the back yard they went. Branden thinks that Everett will be the best T-ball player on the team.



**On a side note:
To give a brief update on Everett's recovery is to say THANK GOODNESS he is finally starting to feel better. It has been a grueling week and a half. He has been very mean and I have been tested beyond human limits in regards to patience. So, that being said...he is finally starting to feel better.

BRACES ARE OFF!!

They are off!!! She is sooo excited and her smile looks great! Dr. Larabee is very pleased with her results. Now, she is just trying to get used to her retainers. I remember those days...the slobbering, sucking and clicking of the retainer. Who can forget?

She looks just gorgeous! Congrats sis!!
