Church Camp

The boys also attended Burnt Cabin this year so I was kidless for the first time in 10 years.  I missed them like crazy but at the same time,  it was kind of nice.  

When picking them up, we heard endless tales about their week of fun. 









Delaney found a friend in Colby.  He even did a little tumbling with her.
Jax said his favorite part of camp was leading worship so Brennan asked him to lead a song the following Sunday morning.   He did an awesome job and showed such courage in getting up in front of the entire congregation.  It was a proud parent moment. For. Sure.

awe...SUMMER

Our first weekend of summer was spent with friends, swimming and indulging in our favorite summer foods.  






For our first week of summer, we started a family reading and study of Psalms and I packed the kids for church camp.  





We Survived 4th Grade!

The end of the school year is always loaded with activities but this year, the kids had project after project which had to be completed on top of the typical homework load.  Here are a few pics of some but not all.  I was definitely feeling the "triplet effect."


We had to make a water balloon protector. 


Book Reports


Science Projects


And I survived year 10 and another act in the school Talent Show!
Even Delaney is DONE with school.  
We are ready for summer!!!

Lacrosse Champions

We went into the post season tournament undefeated, which far exceeded our expectations for the year.  Having rolled over many of our opponents, especially early in the season I willl admit that I was struggling to develop a zeal for the game. The post season tournament definitely changed that.  

We played Bishop Kelly in the finals.  This was a team that had provided us the most competition throughout the season.  We found ourselves trailing most of the game, a position our boys had not experienced.  We would come within two and then in the final quarter we went down by 3.  I was pretty sure at that moment it was over.  However, the boys didn't give up and boom, boom, boom, we tied the game by the final buzzer.  It was crazy.  In double overtime, we finally scored winning the championship! 

Most importantly, Jax loves the game.  He's finally found something besides football that he really enjoys.
