Busy few weeks...


Lots has been happening over the past few weeks. Above, Jackson at his awards ceremony at Midvale Elementary. Our little guy made the honor roll, excellence in art, and perfect attendance. He looked quite dapper in his shirt and tie!

Steve's new tri bike!

Here are the kids on Jackson's last day of 1st grade...

Jackson, in front of his school on the last day. He was thrilled because there were no book bags allowed on the last day...

Abster playing with a ball after Catie took over her car.

We headed to Tallahassee, FL over Memorial Day weekend to visit our friends Wendy and Josh. Despite a forecast of rain and storms, the weather turned out to be great! We checked out two different pools which the kids all enjoyed. After much deliberation, Jackson finally tried the slide, and as usual, couldn't get enough of it.

Catie had a blast playing with Naomi or "Sister" as she frequently called her. They were big into the face painting. It took a few hours to get her "lion face" above all washed off.



Jackson started his swim season. We had our first meet last night... I guess this is payback for all the years Grandma and Grandpa Stien spent with us at the pool as kids. The meet went until after 10pm. Jackson swam 3 events, the medley relay, 25 yd free, and 25 yd breaststroke. Above, Jackson and his friend Matt. Two peas in a pod... notice they are both missing the same front tooth!


Here he is, waiting for the breaststroke leg of the medley relay. He actually made the whole 25 yds without getting his hair wet!

And now, the 25 yd freestyle. He was thrilled to win his heat!!
