Field Day 2014

How many hits does it take to hit one nail in?  Depends who's hitting...
 How many seconds to be officially wearing all the articles of clothing? (Do you recognize the little one on the left?)
 How long does it take to get every team member through the croquet course?
 Eric at the high jump...
 Cayden getting some air on the long jump...
 Judah's team dressing up...
 Hannah A. helping Hannah R. on the obstacle course...
 How long does it take to get everyone through a hoola-hoop without dropping hands?
 The water balloon line-up with Duane reffing at the end...
 "Here, Hannah!"
 "Asher, it's wet!!"
 "Good catch, Judah!"
 Even the parents had their competition...
 Elijah remained a spectator...
 Moriah decided to participate...
 Can't have a field day without a tug-o-war contest!
 Wearing the bronze...
 Going for the silver...
 The yellow/orange team takes the gold!

Time to Catch up... May was...

I know!  These pictures are almost a year old, but since I use my blog as my scrapbook, I need to begin again where I left off.  So here we are in May of last year... enjoy!

May was... a field day at our home schooling co-op.  But I captured so many great shots that you'll have to wait for a future post to see the rest...
May was also enjoying our growing kittens.  We decided to keep 2 of that litter... Misty and Shady...

 Hannah kitten-sitting...
 May was a little boy's first hair cut...

 May was waiting outside, soaking up the warm, and waiting for Daddy to come home from work to play with us...
 ...or surprise us with colorful water bottles!
 May was giving Daddy his father's day gift a bit early...
 ...a large tool chest on wheels!!
 May was climbing a short tree, falling from that tree onto a sharp rock, bleeding all over the ground, and taking a trip to visit the ER and receive 2 shiny staples in this little girl's head...
 May was finishing our study of Ancient Greece and celebrating with a Greek feast, Greek costumes and Greek plays...
 Our Greek feast... (minus the corn, which was introduced by the Native Americans hundreds of years later)...
 Nuts, eggs, cheese, melon, bread, fish...pretty healthy diet, huh?
 Aesop's fables reenacted...
 May was a photo shoot of two growing boys...
 Such a Spring-looking background!
 Best Friends... what a blessing!
 And a 3rd little boy in the mix...
 May was our traditional Memorial Day parade and BBQ afterwards (more photos in a later post)...
 And May was a birthday party at our local PV Park (more pics later)...
