Ultimate Sports Camp

So with the kids out of school for the summer what do we do. The community we live in has this cool camp for kids 1st grade to 8th grade to get involved with different sports. The camp is four days from Monday to Thursday 930am to 330pm,the kids play three sports everyday.The boys play baseball, basketball, football, the girls play softball, basketball, and volleyball. There were 117 kids in the camp, they all got shirts, backpacks, and water bottles.

We had asked Becca and Aidan if they wanted to play. Becca did, Aidan did not. We told Becca she needed to listen, not get mad, try, and have fun. For Becca this is hard sometimes because she doesn't understand or gets overwhelmed easy. We wanted her to have chance to learn about the different sports and be involved. Out of the four days Becca only had one issue. All the coaches said they were surprised about how well she tried and gave it her best. Her best sport was volleyball!

We love Becca for trying and having FUN!

Bikes

So this year the kids keep asking for bikes. Since we are not moving for dad's work anymore we decided why not. This year we got lucky and only had to buy one bike instead of three. Thanks to the our friends the Queens, they gave us a bike for Kaliska. I was able to get a free bike for Becca for her birthday from Disney Movie Rewards. So we only had to buy Aidan his bike.

Becca said she wanted training wheels for her bike. I told her she was a big girl and didn't need them. Within half an hour she was riding her bike without training wheels and no help from mom or dad. She is just a silly girl.

Here is a few video's of the kids riding(except the Kaliska)!

Aidan's Kindergarten Graduation

My sweet boy Aidan graduated from kindergarten last night. The theme was Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. They used the the letters in Kindergarten. All the cute kindergartens did a wonderful job sing and giving there lines. Here is a few videos from last night. Enjoy!

May Day

On Friday the 13th we got to enjoy our first All Schools Day, it was 98th annual! Dedrick and I did not realize how big all schools day was. There is no school for all the surrounding schools in a 50 mile radius. Everyone meets in McPherson on Main Street, for the 8 blocks of the parade route. Aidan's kindergarten class made a float for this years for the parade. So our silly boy Aidan was in the parade this years.

Sorry the video is a little jumpy!

Becca's 9th Birthday

Last Saturday our oldest child turned nine! I can not believe our sweet girl turned another year older. She has grown up so much and makes everyone around her smile. She invited a few friends over for a make-over party. We went to Creative Hairlines for makeup, and to polish their fingers and toes. After that we came home to enjoyed cupcakes and ice cream.

When everyone went home, the girls and I drove to Wichita to meet dad and brother at Chuck E Cheese for dinner! We had a girls weekend since dad and brother were at a camp out.

Becca wants to say thank you for the gifts from family living far away!
Grandma & pa Lund: the Rebecca doll and books
Grandma Pavageau: the pillow pet Unicorn
Uncle Z & Aunt C and cousins A&R: the jewelry box














Here is the gift from Mom & Dad!

First father-son campout

Aidan and I went with other fathers and sons from our church down to Mulvane, KS, south-east of Wichita, and camped out overnight. Aidan really enjoyed being outdoors and playing with the other boys in the ward. We walked around the pond at the campsite and caught a frog Friday evening. Saturday morning we caught a good-sized toad. After the campout Aidan and I went with Brother Stark and his son to the Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita and had a great time seeing the animals. We got to see the penguins get fed. The grizzlies were especially "active" and Aidan said he thought the way they were "hugging" was really cute. We moved on quickly and saw lots of other animals. Then we went fishing for a little while at Sedgwick County Park and then to a playground at that park. Aidan and I had a lot of fun just having a boys day out together.

House

We are buying a house!! After we accepted the job here, we talked about renting for another year or buying. After church one Sunday, Dedrick and I felt it was time to be in our own place. Our intent was to move to McPherson which is about 5 miles from where we live know and closer to Dedrick's work. We looked at least 30 house and nothing felt right. One day the lady who was helping us find house called to say she found one in town about a mile away. Lets say it's the right house for us! If everything goes well we will be closing the end of June.
