Action shots

 looking back at my pics I thought it was interesting how similar my big two are in their dramatic catches

 I caught the end of the sprint for pics, if you blink you would miss these races, my big 2 finished well

This one is for Lindsay, I wish I could have gotten a close up of Mason's face, he got some air and rocked this race!

 I think they have learned by this age not to line up with the fast runners

Jude told me he finished almost last in the sack race, I love this pic with Mrs.Sandmann cheering for him, he still visits her daily for starbursts

 Thanks for the pics Kitra

Field day favorites

 wrapping up 4th grade for these good friends

 and the soon to be second graders, I LOVE Jude's class, such great boys

 and he loves the girls as well with 2 of his faves Sienna & Claire

I think you can tell by this picture, Monroe's class has quite the personality

Dance Out Loud

 How is it May already? We wrapped up another fabulous dance season this last weekend. We always go watch the big girls on Friday night & then the littles on Sunday & I am not sad that next year Roe will be on Friday night. Less stress with getting tickets, or maybe Im fooling myself:)
 I do LOVE watching the little girls though!

 After watching the older girls stage faces, these girls were all over practicing them, thankfully they didn't bust them out on Sunday, not quite there yet.
Monroe had a class full of her friends, so that is always fun, she scored with cute costumes & songs this year but I am super excited for her to be challenged next year with the older girls.

Roe's favorite was jazz & was thrilled to show off a little gymnastics in it, I personally have a heart for & love watching ballet.

We are missing Stella in this pic!

 We had a little after recital dinner at Wabash rooftop. It was the most gorgeous night. It would have been more perfect if a couple wasn't sharing a cigar next to us.

King & my dad walkin the ville. 

I Can't Do That

Old videos, love them!

Promenade

 We went to the promenade again this year, lots of pretty dresses! Looking through old pics for 6th grade slideshow thought this was a cute one of Kenzie & Xander.

A Pain in the Gut

Xander swam last weekend in Topeka both days & had great races on Saturday winning 3 out of his 4 heats & not getting disqualified on the butterfly (this was his goal;)

 We braved the storm on Sunday when it was hailing & flooding in Manhattan, Topeka just got a 30 min lightening delay. Unfortunately we had to head home after he swam great in 2 events because he appeared to be in labor after eating a breakfast sandwich. I will learn to plan better and pack healthier next time so hopefully we don't have this issue. Poor guy, it took 3 hours for him to feel better but no appendicitis or baby birthed, so this was good.

110%

 I don't know if it is the age or the kid, but Jude has been amazing lately, giving 110% to everything he does.

 Or maybe it is because Kingston has been such a handful, it makes Jude seem all the better.

 On Saturday, he played I think his first real soccer game and was so hoping he was going to get to play goalie, he hadn't gotten to play this position yet in his scrimmages..

 He played his little heart out, diving for every ball and lets just say our team was beat by  several goals, but he stopped several.

 Jude got to stay in as goalie & played the whole game & then came home & practiced after when we got home. This is the same kid that was playing with the flags & in the net not too long ago.

He practices piano, reads, wants to learn his math facts, practice baseball & soccer all in a day. Best of all, he makes me laugh, when I've wanted to cry at least 6x a day with my 3 year old.
