Summer's Here!

It was Mac's last day of school today! I'm so excited for Summer and not having to wake up my night owl for school every morning! Not that Mac actually stays up late, but the kid is a bear in the morning. He likes his sleep...and I like a relaxing coffee that doesn't entail a deadline, so Hurray for Summer!

Here's some end of the year pics. Some are of the boys in their first bike races (there's a series of bike races over the Summer here, the boys got whupped by some serious roadies the first race), and the rest are of Mac's last couple days of school.


The boys getting ready for their first bike race...racing around the oval at CSU


At the starting line...


Nate's got a headstart w/the curb option...Mac actually couldn't get on his bike right away, so Nate had the right idea. The kids with the racing gear and road bikes won...oh well, we like the look of scrappers. :)


I loved watching Mac cross the street to school. He loved the independence of doing it himself...he would wait for Mr. Frank to put up his sign, then walk across, as soon as he got across, he would sprint to his class line.


At the end-of-the-year awards ceremony. Mac got a student-of-the-year and P.E. award for his class. He was so excited for his medals and we were of course, were very proud of him.

Monkey #1


Monkey #2


Monkey #3....Elly is starting to make me very nervous. I've had to sprint to her twice this past week at parks with her hanging from a high spot. It's hard when her brother's are on a bigger playground...and they encourage her. She's not as bad as Mac has, so hopefully she can make it to 5 without a broken bone
