Fun visits!

It was sure fun to have Justin's dad and Shani visit us for a weekend!  Saturday morning they went with Justin to see his work and probably hear a million and a half things about it.  Then we went up to Sundance to have a look around!  It was sure rotten weather and we got all kinds of rained on!  Then we went back to their hotel and had pizza and let the kids swim!  It was a great weekend and we were so glad to see them! 

 Justin loves to tell a story so I couldn't resist posting these pictures!

So much fun :) 

Track Season :)

Track season - I loved track season watching Max.  He started track to condition extra for soccer and then found out he actually likes track and he's pretty great at it!  He loves long distance running.  He ran the mile all season and the 800 leg of the medley relay.  He started the season with a 5:50 mile.  He ended the season with a 5:24!  Holy cow that is a lot of getting faster!  But he practiced like crazy he was running everywhere all the time.  Taking times and writing them down and running it again to see if there was improvement!  It was so awesome to watch!   He ran with drive and heart and I loved watching it!

 His track friends became some of his best friends and they cheered each other on and had so much fun!  These 2 girls and boy (with the afro :)) were so good to each other and cheered and cheered and helped each other so much to be better.  I loved it.

Turns out you never know if you like something until you try it!  Now he is excited to run cross country in the fall and track again in the spring.  He still loves soccer but he loves more things than he thought!  

Baseball is here :)

Jake has been pitching in baseball and he loves it!  I managed to snap a few pictures the other day at the game!

I had on my big zoom lens so I could back up far enough to get the whole picture!  It's ok though it was a good picture.

Here he is up to bat and he did great but took "walks" both times!

What a handsome little baseball player!
