Our Active Children and Oh, by the way, "Happy Birthday Mom"

Happy Birthday to the best darn Mom in the world (and she's a pretty good wife too!).

Griffin and McKay have been spending time in the valley on the dirt bikes. It was Griffin's first time riding the range. They both came home with a huge mud stripe down the back of their shirt and pants. No injuries, just plenty of fun!!! Today Griffin bit the dust for the first time.
He made it through the hard part but he fell prey to the deep, deep ruts. He couldn't get out and it flipped him off the bike. But, like a good sport, he hopped back up and sped away.





Also, Abby's first track meet came and she triple jumped 34'6". She got back to school and looked at the records for the school. The school's record for triple jump was 34'6"! Not too shabby for her first track meet. She is looking awesome.




















McKay has been training for boot camp with the Marines. Last Thursday he had a test and had to do 4 pull ups for every wrong answer on the test. Too bad he missed just 10 questions. Let's see . . . . a mere 40 pull ups! His arms are killing him right now and all we can do is think about what is to come in 4 months as he heads off to boot camp. It may not be as "fun" as he thinks it will be. Time will tell.
