Ryan's 1st Grade Field Day

Ryan finally got a real taste for what Field Day is this year.  Last year it was raining so it was inside and he had no idea what he was missing out on.  The fact that it was 92 degrees out did not stop the fun :)

The first station was a beanbag toss - Ryan did a great job, Sean and I were pretty impressed with his accuracy



Shade.  yea!   Throwing the ball against the wall (attempting to hit a target)  The danger was in retrieving the balls.



Water and snack break.  Here is Mrs. Durand with part of the class.





Tire rolling.  Ryan went against Jade.  Not a good match up - she is the most competitive/athletic girl I know :)



Ryan tried hard - but there is no beating Jade LOL



Here's a good look at the shirts the 1st grade made.  They have worn these on their field trips as well.



Mrs. Durand evened out the teams - note she is keeping a close eye on the competition, but in the end, beats out the other team LOL.  Have to admit she likes to win as well!



Tennis elbow game - another relay race



Here is the class "lining up"  I do believe I heard Mrs. Durand say "your field day can be over now" hahaha  Glad it isn't only my kids that have to be "first"



Ryan's girlfriend, Caroline

Down for the count. I am sure all the parents out there can here the whining in this.

Jumping the river contest.

Jade - wow.  look at that form!

Ryan did pretty well at this

Brayden won the competition :)

Shoe kicking.  I am thinking this should be a new competitive sport.  I did predict correctly that Ryan's would go backwards :)  Here is Brayden.

This was my favorite - a spin off of duck, duck, goose, it was "drip, drip, splash" with a large sponge of water.  Drip on each person's head until you really let loose and splash on another kids head.  I bet it felt great in this heat!  This is Jade.

My Boys

I love the fact that the boys will now get up by themselves on the weekend and go downstairs.  This allows us to "sleep in" until 8 :)

This is what we came downstairs to on Saturday :)
If only they always were this sweet!

Folks - it doesn't get much cuter than this.

Basketball

Ryan wanted to play basketball. I did my best to see if some of the other dads would volunteer to step up and coach. We had 4 teams and 2 coaches so I volunteered for basketball duty.

Here is Ryan warming up before the game.



Eric with one of his trademark cheesy grins during one of the games.



Our camera did not take very good pictures in the gym for some reason but the videos were not too bad.

This is Logan demonstrating his skills are way beyond that of a typical 2nd grader!!!



Ryan gets the pass and takes it down court...



It is Ryan's turn for the tip off.



So proud of his medal.



Here is the whole team. Notice we have 6 kids. Doesn't much in the way of subs. Sure glad that all of the kids were there for every game.

Because I will never remember all the names 2 weeks from now... From left to right: Colby Loomis, Logan Boehm, Ryan Lange, Cort Newman, Josue Perales, Trevor Jones

Eric wasn't very impressed with the show

Mikayla, one of Ryan's classmates also had a speaking part.  She is such a sweet girl and always says hi to me :)

The bears are hibernating.  The kid with the "B" shirt was excellent.  I fully expect he will be the lead in all the high school plays :)  What a ham
