Last Month or So

The last month has been a busy one for the clan. Tanner had track and field. juggling the practices and also Tae kwon do kept this guy pretty busy. He enjoyed the practices allot. He decided to challenge himself and run in the longer races. 1500 and 800 meters. he hung in there pretty well though and did okay being just a 6Th grader, i think it gave him great experience for the following middle school years. he's got the sprinters body and the sprinter in me would of loved to see him try the 100-200 meter races as well as the 4x4 relay. he said maybe next year he was a little shy and maybe intimidated by the older kids. he also gave long jump a try...The season was over within 6 weeks and we just ended it last week. I had a blast going to the meets and watching all the events.


Jake played T-ball. we had 2 games per week. here he is playing catcher. He loved being on the pitchers mound the best. he's a pretty good hitter but kept asking me when he can be pitched to instead of hitting the tee. In due time little guy. We had allot of rain so some of the games were actually played on the soccer field, because the b-ball field was too wet.
This is the art room i made for Jake 3 years ago when we bought this home. It was the closet in the kitchen living area. I painted a chalk board added the molding and decorated with Jake and tanner's hand prints. (that was such a fun project for us. they loved dipping there hands the the different colors of paint and plastering them all over the walls. i should try to get a picture of that side of the wall. There is a small art table and chair behind Jake and a book shelf with books and art supplies. All of there art work is displayed in this room along with favorite photos..
