A few weeks ago, a group of us got together for a "Summer sandwich & salad cookoff". All I have to say is "YUM"! The food was so good- we were stuffed. let's also recognize what it takes to get everyone together for this photo!!! Lee calls it the "namaste" photo because (for those of you who watch Lost)- it looks like we have just joined the Dharma Institute!
I hope everyone had a beautiful Mother's day! I thought after the Muddy Buddy race I would easily sleep in. Not in my cards. I was up at 7 - which was fine b/c we had a busy day planned. we had an early brunch with family & then headed over to The Polynesian to swim & boat with friends. It was so hot, the pool felt great. We took a pontoon boat out on the lake, which the kids took turns driving. Finally, we came back home to BBQ on our brand new grill, which really made it feel like summer has kicked started! A very Happy Mother's day to all...
A very big congratulations to Lee Lowell for particpating in his 1st race EVER!!!! He did great. We ran as the "Lowell Ohana" . This race was so much fun and challenging at the same time. Next year we'll decorate our bike better so I don't lose it like I did at the end of the 1st leg! Biking in the sand/dirt was harder than we thought but so much fun. The obstacles were fun & I learned I have minimal balance on a beam. Crawling through the mud pit at the end was the best way to finish a race. Thank you to Wayne who helped by bringing Josie & Sydney out & cheering them on at the mini muddy buddy. Showering after was interesting...we'll see how our clothes hold out after the laundry is done. Running shoes...in the trash! Hopefully this will not be Lee's last race!
Another soccer season in the can. We all loved watching & cheering for this team. What will we do on our Saturday mornings?! Congrats Josie- we can see how much you enjoy playing the game.
Congratulations to Josie & Sydney for working hard & earning good grades. It's always a great time to cheer them on at the honor roll assemblies.
Josie was picked by her teacher, Mr. Fiorito to read a poem for the entire elemntary school about Arbor day. We were not there- a bit of a last minute opportunity, but we were told she did a great job!
