Fun Run

Last weekend we had a family reunion with Bryce's very extended family! Saturday morning they had a Fun Run. It was a mile run on a gently rolling dirt road. The entire family participated! Ty and McKay did 1/2 a mile, the rest finished it! Bryce even took 3rd place in the Men's category and Allison took 1st place in the women's! It was super fun!
We also got to play lot's of games! Alyssa was brave and endured cold hose water being pored on her to fill up this garbage can that had holes in it! She did the best of all the teams!

Elysabeth really enjoyed her popsicle!

My kids can work!

We are having a fabulous summer! I make my kids work! We do regular chores and then about an hour to an hour and a half of "extra chores". So far we have washed all the cupboards and drawers in the kitchen inside and out, cleaned with soap and water all the indoor garbage cans, scrubbed the laundry room walls, etc. We then do worksheets and flash cards. Am I the meanest mom ever? My kids sure think so! I think it is great! They are learning to work and I am getting a very clean house! Here is a picture of them hard at work this morning!

Notice even Elysabeth is helping?

She did this all on her own! What a cutie!

End of School Year Activities!

Here are some pictures of the kids in their end of year stuff! We had a dance recital, dance festival and McKay's preschool graduation!

Boy are we all glad it is summer!
