Finally warm enough

75 degrees and life is good! The boys have been itching to play in the water and today was the perfect day. Water balloon fights and cups of water have never been so much fun! Even Celie joined in the fun. She didn't get much water to throw, but she hung right in there.

Celie is 2!

Celie's birthday. Two years old! Most evey comment was, "pretty" or "yeah, baby".

This is her camera smile mostly these days. I really hope she outgrows it soon.

Tea and cakes with the brothers....

AAHHH, Watermelon

First watermelon of the season. FYI, I have never really had a "good" watermelon up here. They certainly seem to loose most sweetness by the time they reach our shelves. But the idea of having a watermelon on a sunny day was enough for the kids. Not too many seeds to spit either.

Wrestling Season 2010

Wrestling has come to a close. With the two tournaments of the year right during the time we were moving from the house, Brad and I each took a turn at a tourney. Below are pictures of Avery's first tournament. He pinned his first two matches and lost the third. He still won third place! YEAH!!!

Now that is a tough wrestler!

So today was the State Tourney. We arrived at 8:30 am and we left at 9:30 pm! What a long day. But totally worth it! Isaak won the first three and lost his last two, but still took 4th place for his weight class for the state! There were 16 kids in his bracket and he took 4th! Considering that we were able to make only about half the practices this year because of moving, Isaak did pretty well. I know one thing is for sure, state tourney takes a long time. Also I know that 10 year old boys are VERY smelly after 13 hours of wrestling. We drove home with all the windows down and it was raining. HA! Very proud of my wrestling boys. Ready to sleep in tomorrow.
