More boating!

We finally got to go boating again. The weather has been yucky lately, but last weekend was great. We actually broke out the tube! I was nervous, but the kids did fine! It is a nice tube that you can sit in...much different from when I tubed!!

Aida had her end of year Bugz performance....the same program Henry had last year! It was still tearful the second time around! They got these cute dog tags for a gift after the performance.

Kendrick Fincher Youth Run and 5K

CCF Brands (my work) was one of the sponsors of the Kendrick Fincher Youth Run and 5K. Nate ran the 5K and Henry did the Youth run which was a 1/2 mile. It was at 7:30 on a Saturday morning and it was rainy! We had fun anyway! Here is Henry crossing the finish line! He did a great job!

Darren McFadden was there to sign autographs after the run. Here we are getting his autograph. He is a former Razorback and now plays for the Oakland Raiders.

Henry's teacher and her family were there so I got a picture of them together.

Nate's New Baby

Well, it has been about a year now that Nate has wanted a boat. He finally found a used Crownline in Greers Ferry and bought it. It is 21 feet long and it is very nice. We went out on it the past two days and had fun. The kids like everything but their life jackets, but they HAVE to wear them. It isn't warm enough yet to ski or tube, but it was nice to have a picnic on the boat and ride around Beaver Lake. We have a boat slip which is nice, so we don't have to launch the boat each time we go out. Some of the pics are a bit blurry because I had to use Nate's phone the first day. Sunday I brought the camera along, so they are a lot clear. We are ready for a summer of fun on our new boat!!

The back part of the boat has a nice bench that curves around so we have plenty of room.

Henry taking a rest.

The front of the boat is nice and roomy.

On Saturday, it was a bit chilly, so Aida sat on the floor for a bit to block the wind. She also wore Henry's hat!

The kids like to help Nate drive already.

Nate is setting a new trend with the "Lake" hairdo.

I wish this picture was clearer. Aida was making one of her wierdo faces and of course Henry is perfectly posed for the camera.... :)

Aida's snaggle ...again

Aida lost her other top tooth at school during PE! They gave her a little tiny plastic treasure chest to put her tooth in. Now she is really snaggle-toothed!

Aida lost her first big top tooth!

Aida has had a really loose tooth for a LONG time. She has been afraid to pull and it was ridiculously loose!! She put a piece of gum in her mouth and it fell out on the carpet! She didn't have to pull it at all!
