JE Preschool Graduation

So my baby graduated from preschool this year, which means he's headed to TPS in a little over a month... wow! Valley View has been great to JE and we will miss his teachers Ms. Nan and Ms. Kim! They were wonderful! We were very blessed to have them! Graduation was great and JE was awarded the Good Friend Award! (makes this momma proud!)

Look out TPS, you have no idea what is coming!! :)

JE end of year Tball party and trophy

John Emory had a great year un T Ball! He was on a team with several buddies from school, met a couple of new friends, and had some great coaches! We had a great time with our Blue Jay Family and can't wait to play again in the fall!!The season ended too soon it seemed, but a great team party was organized complete with the Ice Cream Truck!! (what more could you ask for!)

Eric's first triathlon and best day ever

Eric entered his first triathlon this year, since he loves to do everything that it entails; swimming, biking, and running. We prepared for it by swimming at the bobby miller center, he was running track at school, and he rode his bike at home. The day of the triathlon was rainy and Eric was scheduled to play two tournament games afterwards. I bought him lots of Gatorade in preparation!

Ready to go

warming up

That speck is him... I didn't get there in time to get any good pictures!

Survived!

He had to leave immediately after he got done to get to his baseball game that was starting. We didn't learn until later that night, that Eric actually won his age group with a posted time of 13:33. We missed the awards ceremony, but picked up his trophy on Monday!

Eric's best day ever ended after two baseball games. He caught both games and got his first out at the plate, which earned him the game ball!

CHOM fun

John Emory had a blast at his friend's birthday party at CHOM! Nearly the whole T ball team was there! This night they switched from being ball players to running an Ice Cream shop!!

Shark Tooth Creek

The last field trip of the year was to Shark Tooth Creek! Jamie and I both went and we had a blast! It was a little chilly to start with, but everyone had a great time!
