American Ninja Warriors

We went to Big Bounce last week to kick off our summer.  Isaac and Delia played "American Ninja Warrior" the whole time.  I think it's only a matter of time before the kids are asking Matt to build a warped wall in the back yard.

spring soccer 14

Another great soccer season- we are sad to see some of our fellow soccer families move away from Durango this year.  The kids love playing with their teammates, and we have loved spending time with their families. 

Mother's Day Program

One of my favorite things at the kids' pre-school every year is the Mother's Day program.  It always melts my heart!  Miles is always so happy to perform with Miss Melanie- he just had the best time singing.  (Please ignore the unfortunate haircut Miles has in these pictures.  Someday I will get good at giving the boys haircuts!)

Poetry Reading

Here is Isaac sharing some of his writing during the 2nd grade poetry reading this year.  He's not really one to get up in front of people and does not enjoy having a lot of attention, so I was really proud of him!  His poem was amazing, too, especially since he really dislikes writing.  So proud of him!

** He's wearing his Grandpa Robb's hat from Vietnam.  It's his new favorite hat that he wears everywhere!

Daddy Daughter Dance '14

This year's Daddy Daughter Dance picture.  Delia looks forward to this night ALL year.  There was a photographer from the Durango Herald there this year, and a picture of Delia made the paper!  After seeing it she said, "I wanted to be famous when I grow up, but I'm famous now!"

Random Pics from Spring 2014

Can you tell I finally figured out how to get pictures from my phone onto our blog?  Here are some random picts from the last several months.

I think Miles was sick in these shots.  I can't think of why else the cat would be sitting next to him allowing him to do this.

Because he's older than seven, Isaac had to write a letter to the judge in India saying why he wants us to adopt Avika.  I was so impressed with his letter and how quickly he got it done so we could send in the paperwork.  This one's going in Avika's book!

I think this is in Albuquerque during Spring Break...

Downtown Durango running errands with the boys...

Ice Skating

Another thing to finally cross of the list this past winter- ice skating!  Delia especially loved it.  She even got to wear Aunt Emmy's old skates.  It was hard with all three kids because they each needed to skate one-on-one with a parent, but they all had a great time. 

Old Stomping Grounds

This past winter we finally took the kids to a basketball game at my high school.  Miles and Delia were less than impressed, but I think Isaac had fun.  Once he figured out he could tune me out every time I said, "Twenty years ago when Mommy was in school here..." I think he really enjoyed the game.  It's hard to believe it's been twenty years since I watched a game there!
