Summer Catch Up - Dream Mile

May 2009

At the end of the school year the school has a race called the dream mile. In the boy's division it is for any of the boys who throughout the school year during p.e. ran the mile under 7 minutes. Trevor qualified for this race and was so excited to participate. He is built like his daddy and is a very good and fast runner.

It is pretty cool to go and watch. The entire school comes out and stands around the track and watches the kids participate and cheer them on.

My memory isn't the greatest with times and things like that, so I am not quite sure what his final time for running the dream mile but I think it was like 6 minutes and 43 seconds. Or something like that. He is such a fast runner. Good Job Trevor!!

Jenessa was really bummed because she missed qualifying for the girls division by 6 seconds. Maybe next year Jenessa!

Summer Catch up -- Trevor's Birthday!

May 22, 2009

Trevor's 10th Birthday! It is so weird to think that my baby is 10. I can still remember the day/night that he was born. It does not even seem like it was 10 years ago. We are so lucky to have Trevor in our family!

Trevor is such a nice big brother. He shared his breakfast in bed with all of his sisters! They had so much fun eating together!

For school the kids have to read 20 minutes a day. Each day we put aside this window of time for them to read their books. Sometimes one of them will read out loud to me for practice but the majority of the time they are reading to themselves. Which is why I didn't notice Trevor's school library book that has been his choice reading material for the past couple of days. So tonight I caught a glimpse of his library book and this is what I saw.

The entire NON-Fiction book is all about Poop. It even has many illistrations of many different kinds, sizes, reasons, etc. Anything and everything that you could ever want (or not want) to know about this subject matter. The only thing going through my mind is why on earth would my son pick out that book???? The only thing I could come up with is boys will be boys. I could never picture a girl checking that book out.

Pinewood Derby

Trevor's cool car


Trevor's first cubscout pinewood derby was last night. His car took first place in a double elimination tournament. Trevor was pretty excited! He went up against another car that was undefeated as well and was barely beaten by that car. So they raced again. If that car beat Trevor then the race was over but if Trevor's car won then they would switch lanes and race again. First car to beat the other one twice would win. Trevor and the car's mechanic (Ryan) were very pleased with how the car turned out.

2 new members of the family

Babies, babies, and more babies!









Ryan and I have two new nieces in the space of 5 days. My brother and his wife, Derek and Julie, had baby Addison and then Ryan's sister and her husband, Tawni and Scott, had baby Lily. This is Trevor holding Lily. My kids are so excited to have more cousins! Especially on my side of the famiy because there aren't very many cousins. We can't wait to be able to meet Addison and to be able to hold her.

Uncle Fun

Whenever Uncle Troy comes over Trevor likes to wrestle with him or play tag or just play around with him.






Boys will be boys, what more can I say!
