Freedom on 2 wheels!

Look who is riding without training wheels!!  She has been bugging us for months to take off her training wheels and we just kept putting it off.  Finally we decided to let her try....she was off on her first attempt!  No looking back!  Proud little girl!  Bring on the family bike rides!

Rockets

Daddy came to Jaelyn's school to help out with Friday Choice.  The kids made rockets and launched them. Super fun afternoon!  Ben got to play hooky from school and play too!!

With the help of Daddy's old co-worker who made the contraption to launch the rockets....the rockets flew really high!  Kids loved it.

Jaelyn's first free throw!

It was super fun to watch these girls progress over the season.  They worked hard and it showed.  We crushed all of our opponents except for one.  Our record was 7-1...beating the team that we lost to twice.  That loss was just a little hiccup in the season...ha!
