Sweet Victory

So for the last two years Aunt Sarah and Nicholas have run in the Race for Recovery in Provo Canyon. Last year it was a very hard course for Nick, it took him over an hour and much of it is uphill. Nick ran this years race in 47 minutes. I am so proud of him he had so much improvement on this 5k. Aunt Sarah is so awesome for coming up here and running with Nicky. It is such a fun thing that they do together. Of course the best part for Nick is the sports drink at the end. Nicky is for sure one of the boys that you could say the way to his heart is through his stomach.

I am so thankful for Nicholas and the joy that he brings to this family. I am so proud of him for doing things that are a real challenge for him and not just finishing but also improving. He is a great son and I am glad that he is part of our family!

First Day of School

Well I know that school has been in for a month and a half, but I just got the pictures downloaded. So this is Nicholas's first day of 3rd grade and Aeryka's first day of 2nd grade. I know I have two more kids in school but they started later and I kept forgetting to take a picture. Robby is in Kindergarten and with the all the joy he can muster he tells me that it is bowing (BORING). Jessy is back in preschool. She is starting to remember the routines down but I believe her favorite thing is that she gets to spend 3 mornings at Nanny house visiting.

Oh yeah, that cheese ball picture is what I got when I asked the kids to stand together for a picture.
