Bowling Rocks!

One of the fun things about having kids is getting to take them to try new things and watching their enthusiasm and excitement. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this was the first time we've taken the kids to go bowling. Here are Mackay and Beckett giving it a go! We figure Eme needs to learn to walk first...soon enough!

Field Day

Every year shortly before school is out, Mackay's school organizes a "Field Day" where they get to do all sorts of fun, physical activities. The older kids typically get to help run the events, with the parents and teachers there to help. Andrea went and got these great videos of Mackay in action! Our kindergartener is growing up!

Family Run

A good friend of ours organized this charity run not far from our house. It was a 5k, but there was a 1-mile option too. Mackay ran the whole way and Beckett joined him for part of the run. Eme just enjoyed the ride. Good times!

I love how they were totally focused before the race started. No camera was going to distract them.



But let's be honest, we don't do it for the glory...we do it for the bagels...

And (from one of Andrea's old races)...we race for the cool Texas-shaped medals they give us when we're done! :-)

Note: I can't say we're big PC fans (Macs only in this household!), but I'm sure my brother-in-law who works for Microsoft will appreciate the boys' shirts (he should, he gave them to 'em!). :)
