School Wrap up!

 
The last few weeks of school are always a whirl wind of activities.  I think I was at the school almost every day for two weeks straight.  I was able to go with Natalie on her Kindergarten field trip to the Children's Museum.  It is always a good time to hang out with my peeps.  Next year Natalie is going to be in 1st grade with Mrs. Hanson.  She is very excited. 

 
I volunteered to help during field day. That was exhausting!!   The 5th graders have a 5th grade tug of war at the end of their field day that is very fun.  Each class wears a class color to show spirit.   You know Cameron must have really been into the tug of war because his class color was PINK and he actually wore a pink shirt to school.  His class didn't win the tug of war but it was fun to be there and watch.  The last week EVER of elementary school for Cameron was filled with water balloon fights, kickball tournaments, and lots of fun.  This is a good thing because the last week was also filled with A LOT of tears and crying.  Half of the 5th graders will go to one middle school and the other half will go to a different middle school.  I think ALL of the 5th grade was crying on the last day of school.  Also to make it really hurt, Cameron's really good buddy moved out of state.  It was a tough week. 

 
Julia is excited for next year because she got the teacher she wanted... Mrs. Bennison.  She also has her good friend in her class again.  I sense there is going to be some girl drama next year, so I am dreading that, but hoping for the best!


Here is the final day of school ,walking to the bus.  Cameron and the girls will never all go to the same school again!  Middle school here we come!  

Trek Around the Trail


 
This year for our Stake fun run we had 4 runners!  Cameron and Julia ran the 5k, Natalie and Lucy the 1k. 
 
 
Lucy might be the cutest thing you have ever seen running.  Seriously.
  

 
Lucy's 1k was more like a 1/2k because mom and Lucy cut through to speed up the running.. just a bit.

 
Natalie and the 1k


  Cameron at the start of the 5k.  His outfit is really something.  Cameron just keeps getting faster-- He ran a 21:20 which is about 6:52 a mile.  He is loving running and is going to run cross country in the fall.
 
 
Julia decided that she wanted to run the 5k again this year.  She ran a 30:43.  I love how in this picture she is beating 4 boys in the background!


 
After three full years of being the Stake Sports Director Mitch was released.  He has done such a good job with this calling.  It has been a heavy calling that has taken a lot time and most of it  thankless.  It is hard to be yelled at by grown men on a basketball court week after week.
