Family Fun

I can’t remember what started this crazy idea, but it is a fun family memory.  For family night one night we each wrote down titles of our favorite books and then divided up in to three teams of two and drew the titles out of a hat.  We then had to create an edible sculpture representing the title we drew.  Can you guess the books?

Team:  Carson and McKenna

Peter Pan

Team: Austin and Mom

The Hunger Games

Team:  Dad and Tanner
The Jungle Book

Congratulations, McKenna

McKenna applied and was accepted into the National Junior Honor Society this spring.  

You go girl!

Carson’s First Track Experience

Carson has a real talent for running.  But, can you imagine following behind a big brother who has run on the world’s stage. What expectations everyone would have... well, Carson didn’t want any of that.  

Tanner supporting Carson at his home track meet.

But, being the good parents that we are, and wanting our children to have as many life experiences as they can, we told Carson he had a talent and needed to try using it before he decided what he was and was not going to pursue.  

The Starting Line

Last Lap Mark

We also told him that it would be a good time to try running before he entered high school and there was a lot more pressure associated with it.  Yes, we forced him to participate in track.  He did quite well.  I am not sure if he liked it or not, but he didn’t hate it.  He was able to make it all the way to districts.  Way to go, Carson!

The Big Finish
