Life with 4

Visitors

2012-01-24T11:45:00.000-08:00

Over the holidays we had a runners reunion with Benji's past runners. There were about 10 that attended. It was great to hear what everyone was doing with their lives. Elise is one of Benji's first runners when he started coaching. She makes us feel old she will be 25 soon.

We also had a visitor this weekend, as Cole would call him Pam PAw. He got to see basketball games, just like he would at home in IN. It was hard to get everyone to smile, they looking like they just got off the crazy farm.

He really does concentrate on the ball.

Sometimes he would go so fast he would just fall down.

Myles First Soccer Game

2010-09-14T05:48:00.000-07:00

This was Myles first soccer game. He has been waiting for this atleast 4 years! He was very excited...I almost think his older brother and sister were just as excited, they were the coaches from the sidelines. Myles is going to have to be careful or he is going to bite his tongue off.

He did great as a goalie, he didn't let anyone score on him.

Turtle Find

2010-09-13T06:34:00.000-07:00

We stayed at the Miller's house last week while in Shipshewana. The kids were digging in the garden for carrots and Cameron came apon a nest of turtles that had just hatched out of their shells. It was a great experience! We have never seen a turtle nest before. There were 6 in all.

Cameron's Mud Run

2010-06-13T11:46:00.000-07:00

We decided to do a 5k called the Marine Corp. Mud Run.. Cameron ran the kids race and my friend Jennifer and I ran the 5k..We climbed ropes, crawled over walls, ran through mud, went through tunnels, and even swam through a mud pit. Needless to say we got a little dirty...but we would do it again. Here are some pictures of Cameron after his race, I downloaded them in the wrong order, so you will see his finish first.

He had mud in his teeth and eyes, but he got is dog tag to prove he made it!

Cameron's Proud Moment

2010-03-04T06:10:00.000-08:00

Cameron won his car race

(Read below how it all started)

The Car Race

2010-03-04T06:00:00.000-08:00

Cameron is in a group at church called the RA's. It is a boys group from 2nd to 5th graders. For their end of the year project they race little wooden cars. So one night Cameron brought home a block of wood and wheels. Well you know his dad wasn't sure what to make of this, so his Uncle Mike came to the rescue and helped make a car out of the block of wood. We weren't sure if it was going to make it down the track. We found out that it needed to be weighted. Well how do you do that? So we found a good friend at church to help us with that. We still weren't sure if it would go down the track. Well it ended up going down the track and Cameron won all his races!!

The starting block

He held in his excitment every time he won, with a little fist action.

But his smile was from ear to ear.

Cameron, Benji, and Isaac

Everyone was pumped up after the race

I would like to say these are all mine, but I would be lying!

They hung out while the 5k was going, waiting for their dad's and mom to finish. If you noticed I did not make mom plural, because I did not run!

We even hung out in the bathroom to try to stay warm!

The pictures turned out a little dark, I forgot to edit them Cameron can't keep his feet still. Sadie is pretty wore out running one time up and down the court. She kind of reminds me of myself, for those who watched me play back in the day!
