Maggie's Swim Lessons

Maggie tried swimming lessons last summer and was terrified. This year we put her in with Miss Campbell where Sam and Sophie both took lessons. She LOVED it!! She wanted to be first for every dive and swim and was sorely disappointed when it was time to get out. Like father like daughter:).

Sam's First Concert

Sam and his fellow music students put on an end of the year concert on Thursday. They sounded great! It was fun to hear all of the year's learning and efforts come together.

This is Sam and his best friend, Isaac Lee. They are so cute together. They get so excited to see each other and be together. I'm so glad he has such a good friend.

Easy Come, Easy Go...

Even though she's gone, we thought we'd post a pic of the puppy. She was cute but most of us are relieved that she is gone. It was a good lesson for all of us. Someday.....

Maggie's Latest.....

Pictures from Maggie's 3 year old (okay, okay 3 1/2, so I'm a little late) photo session:).

It's Official, He's a Triathlete!!

This weekend Chris was able to accomplish his longtime goal of competing in a triathalon. It was the Toyota Desert Triathalon in La Quinta (Palm Springs), CA. He did awesome for a first timer. He finished in at 2:25. (Full Results)

Seconds before the race started in a sea of blue caps.



The transition from water to the bike area. I was really bad with the camera and for the rest of the day when it wasn't recording I thought it was and vice versa. So this is about the only video we got:(

On the bike.

Coming in for the finish!

We're so proud of you Daddy!

Down & Derby

Saturday night was the Pinewood Derby for Sam. We told him he could make his car into anything he wanted-he chose a Dialga from the new Gameboy game Pokemon Diamond. What a challenge! But Sam was excited about it (and that is rare:).

Sam & Dad working on the car in their garage "workshop". Dad helped with carving and assembly, mom helped with the painting.

The end result- Pokemon Dialga

The race is on! It looked pretty cool going down the track.

Was it a winner? In Sam's book it was. He won for Most Creative.

Wicked!

Saturday Sophie , Lainey , Rachel and I went to see the Broadway musical, Wicked! If you ever want to see a show, this is the one you need to see. The cast was incredible, the music, the story just so good. And it was both Rachel and Lainey's first show! They just loved it. We had such a fun girl's night out.
