Tied up..........

Track meets, track meets, track meets............ Atleast once a week I have a track meet sometimes twice a week. This past weekend we hosted our home Invitational. Fourteen schools attended the meet. Our girls team brought home a 2nd place trophy both Jimmy and myself were very pleased with all the girls performances. We ran tough relays as well as some top performances in individual events. We are looking forward to a very successful season. Here are a few pictures of my sunburned face at the meet.

Spring is in the air.....

This has got to be my favorite thing! I love my close line! Especially for my sheets. It is such a nice day today that I have torn the beds apart and am washing everything! I love it! Tonight is going to be a joyous night in clean sheets. Kade and I are going to put the tramp up as well, hopefully we have seen the last of the snow. I will probably jinx myself but I cant wait and neither can Kade.

Charlie bit my finger - again !

Oh my gosh, when I need a good laugh I just pull this video up on youtube and watch it. It makes me laugh so hard! Enjoy if you have not yet seen it.

Flash Back.................

12 Years ago during high school I attended the simplot games in Pocatello Idaho with my team. We ran the 4x800 meter relay. This is the largest indoor high school track meet in the nation. (left to right...... Sinika, Me, Lindsey and Angie. The picture is a bad copy but I am excited I found it.
This past weekend I took 11 of my athletes to the Simplot games in Idaho. My girls team ran the 4x4 relay as well as my boys. It was fun to be there and participate from a different standpoint.

Parent teacher conferences........

Yesterday was parent teacher conferences for Kade. For those of you who, who do not know, Kade is in 1st grade. He will be 7 in April. The reason I am explaining all this is because his teacher informed me yesterday that he is above grade level in all his academics. However................ He is struggling in social. Not that he is shy or does not get along well with his classmates. He is a social butterfly with the GIRLS! or as the teacher would say, "Kade cannot keep the girls away" UH OH! He has to be moved everytime he is seated next to a girl. The teacher thinks it is hard on Kade because at first she thought it was him doing all the talking and distracting, however after she observed and listened to what Kade would tell her she realized the girls just like to talk to him. Long story short he has received FOUR valentines already from girls in his class. This is what most of them say..........


I am only posting this because the teacher was concerned for Kade because he is being distracted in class. He tries to ignore the girls and now his teacher is well aware of the situation and steps in when she needs too.

Big Lips!

100th Day of school

January 26th is the 100th day of school for Kade. His teacher had his class do a homework assignment that consisted of finding 100 things around the house and sharing them with the class or making something and sharing it with the class. I suggested sugar cubes to Kade and he loved the idea. Last night we glued the 100 cubes to a file folder and used food coloring to spice it up a little. I took Kades picture this morning before he left. He has had a cold and he looks a little sick but this is his project.
