Ryan at Bat

Last night we went to watch Ryan and Amy's team play. When we showed up, Amy was not there. After all these years of playing volleyball, I believe there are less than 5 photos of me. So, I spent the time capturing moments of Ryan!
With my new camera, I was able to catch Ryan throughout his swing without the ball being a big blur! Now I need to get to another game to capture Amy!
 

First 5K

June 8 marked the day of my first 5K. The girls and I had been walking the river daily (~2.5 miles) and decided that a 5K shouldn't be much harder to accomplish. We grabbed the whole family and off we went. Elayna and Hannah saw that it was race and immediately started running after the pack of runners...It took us almost a mile to catch up to both of them. With Elayna's legs being so small, she ended up running the entire thing...Hannah ran about half of it, and Ryan, Amy and I ended up running about a third of it (mainly trying to keep up with the kids!) Mom and dad kept a steady pace the entire time and finished strong. It was a great experience for all of us and lots of fun! Here are to more 5K's in the future! Thanks Susie for posting the link to this race on-line!
 

Coffee and Fishing!

We are spending most of the month of June in Idaho Falls. Throughout the month, I hope to keep the kids continually busy and active. Since Grr retired, he has been going fishing every Friday morning. The girls and I tagged along this time. Before heading to the fishing hole, we stopped for a coffee...or Italian Soda in the girls' case. The key to a good fishing hole is getting there early! Elayna had her limit (2) and both Hannah and I had one fish landed before dad had his pole put together. Needless to say, he decided to use Elayna's Barbie pole to fish out the rest of the morning. Hannah eventually got her second fish and dad finally got one.
 

New Bike

Elayna finally outgrew all of her bikes! Right before we came to Idaho Falls, we donated all of the small ones to the church rummage sale. (Kind of sad seeing all of the baby/toddler stuff leave the house.) We ended up getting her a bright pink bike and she LOVES it. Now, it looks like Hannah may be outgrowing her bike. I think there is a new one in her future...hopefully it will last the season.

 

Shoshone Falls

Over Memorial Weekend, we met the Jolly's in Twin Falls for a small hike around the falls and playing at the park. It was nice to get out of town for the day and see the beautiful falls. I have lived near Twin Falls most of my life and had never seen Shoshone Falls before!

There was also a lake right by the falls with a nice park where the kids could play.

There was a "roadkill" wheel that Hannah found quite entertaining. The point was to run on it without falling off.
