NPA 5K Fun Run 2010

Every year, the kids' school, Navigator Pointe Academy does a 5K fun run fundraiser. This is the first year that we have been able to attend. The kids took it very seriously and spent days pounding the pavement to collect sponsors for them. They all raised enough money to earn a special lunch with the school director, Mrs Farris. They also wond some addition prizes including a big box of firecrackers and passes to Hollywood Connection.

They all did the 5K and did a great job. We borrowed a jogging stroller for Sadie and Jaxson and Rob pushed them through the route. I had just had a back procedure the night before so I couldn't do the fun run at all.

I was very proud of my kids and their hard work to earn money for their school. We love our school and are happy to do anything we can to help raise money for the great programs and curriculum at NPA,

Easter Weekend 2010

The Easter Bunny left some great loot on Easter Saturday. Lots of candy, clothes, and fun little toys. Of course the kids got their kites that they get every year for Easter. Unfortunately, we didn't have kite flying weather, more like sleigh riding weather. We still had a fun weekend which was also spring break AND General Conference. A very fun and busy weekend!

It was too cold for Jaxson to be outside, so he stayed inside with Brian. He did great until he saw us outside through the window and then it was all over. Look at that sad face!
