'Nuff Said

Soaked!

The first balloon was from Coach Dan. A dad from the other team caught this moment for us. Just had to share it...

Field Day, Fun Day

Wolf Creek Field Day was today. The Cardinals vs The Pirates was at 9am. Then we had field day activities including a coach soak. Dave was a trooper and soaked to the skin after his team had a shot at him.

We've had major improvements this season and have many an inning now where the cardinals score their 5 runs or keep the opponent from scoring all of their runs.

Going Green!

Happy mothers day to me. Dave got me window tinting for a M's day gift! Super sweet!
Ian, the photographer, staged and shot this one. You can tell how short he is by the angle!

The new job brings new challenges - namely, the car, the territory and all those miles of premium gas in a V8. My super SUV days are over. Hello Hybrid! Meet Midori - my new Lexus HS 250H. Car. Man, it's strange to say that. It's been nearly 8 years since I have been in a CAR. She's sparkly white and gets 35 mgp. On Thursday/Friday I drove 420 miles in 24 hours on ONE TANK OF GAS that I paid $32 for. Welcome to the days of going green!

Titan Run 2010

First Grade hitting the field On your marks, get set, go! (Nate, far right with one foot on rocks)

Staying focused

Mom joined in for every 5th lap

Finished! Not so bad!

Titan Run 2010 was held Friday! First grade was super excited and lead in fundraising efforts. (doesn't help that first grade moms were the committee, including yours truly). It was a perfectly sunny, 60 degree day.

The first graders ran for 1 hour. Nate the Great ran 21 laps. Let's keep in mind that 5 laps make a mile. Astonishing! No way mom or dad could have kept up with that. We are super proud and thankful to every one who supported this Holy Trinity Fundraiser. All funds go to support the school, pay for books and other items necessary to make HT a great place to learn.

Easter, a little late

The long and winding...birthday

And on the 7th day, we rest. Almost. 7 days later were are almost done celebrating being 7. Nate had a very, very small birthday party yesterday that was like a breath of fresh air. I took he and 2 school friends, and Ian, to see Diary of a Wimpy kid. 6 bags of candy, 2 jumbo tubs of popcorn and 4 Slurpee's later we brought this week long celebration of being 7 to end. And tomorrow - tomorrow everyone goes back to school. Whew!
