District Track & Field

Jacob had a track and field event today at Mtn. View. It was the district meet. This is a new thing for us. Jacob absoultely loves it. We didn't do so well, but we are getting there. Our 7th grade boys/girls are competing against 9th graders!
Doing the shot put. He threw 31 feet and 7 inches. NOT bad!
The long jump...12 feet and 4 inches...
Relay race..the 4x4...finished 5th.
Tonight was the end of track season. It's been great experience and good excercise!

Easter Time....

Yes, my 19 year old son and 13 year old son colored Easter eggs!



A PINK egg!
Easter bunny even made a stop! You are never too old to get an Easter basket. My boys look forward to this...

My folks came up Sunday for Easter dinner and to watch the boys "hunt" eggs. We had a wonderful meal...steak, veggies, purple hull peas, baked potato, OR cheesy potatoes (whichever you wanted), cole slaw, green bean casserole, rolls, and some "Honey Baked" ham. Dessert...stripe delight, strawberry cobbler, and strawberry shortcake. ALOT of food for 6 folks!
After lunch we hid eggs....some eggs had candy, and some had money. Roger and my mom hid most of the eggs.

Michael is very SERIOUS about finding his eggs!
You never know where you'll find an egg!
Michael and all his "goodies"....
Jacob and all his "goodies"...
After the egg hunt, it has become a tradition to use the hard boiled eggs as balls and splatter them with a bat.
It was a good day...glad my boys will still do the egg hunt! I pay a "high" price for that....
