First blog

Well here we go. This is is our first family blog. My APUSH blog has been such a success (for my two subscribers) I thought I would create a family blog to let our friends and family know what is going on with our family. For us the summer started this week. We officially got out of school on the 12th, but Kyle had to go back to school on Friday to finish grades and Kim had ACT tests to organize for the Saturday test she was in charge of.

Ilee finished her 1st year of pre school with her new teacher Mrs. Peller and Mrs. Hill. She had a great year. Ilee will be attending KinderCorner next year again.

Will finished his first year as a kindergartner. He had a great year and loved school. He will be in 1st grade next year. Will has been playing T-ball. It has been fun watching him learn the game. We have been starting to practice more in the yard since during the game he will get two times to bat and rarely does the ball make it past the pitcher's mound.

This picture is from Will's Sunday school concert.

The first few days this week we have been working on our new garden. Last fall Will went to his friends Hunter's house who had a garden. All winter and spring Will has been talking about building our own garden. So after several trips to Menards and Home Depot and three days of working out back this week we now have a garden. Will had been growing cucumbers, carrots, mini pumpkins and peppers inside. We also have a strawberry and a raspberry bush. Will was so excited to have a garden he invited out neighbors over to see it. Stay tuned for updates in the garden.

Tomorrow is a big day. Kyle is running Grandma's Half Marathon. Cade's mom and dad are coming up to run as well. Cade's Dad is running the full and Cade's mom is running the half. Kyle is hoping to stay up with Cade's mom and finish in 1:50 or so. Just as long as it is under 2:00
