Our newest, and only, Marathoner!

At Windy Hills Elementary School the PTO decided to try and get the kids motivated and moving. Each child who wanted to participate tries to run, or walk in Braden's case, the equivalent of a marathon, which is 26.2 miles. Monday's and Wednesday's the kids could run from 7:30-8:00 am and every Tuesday and Thursday they could run for 30 minutes after school. Braden has worked very hard and has gotten up extra early many times this past month and a half.........So, I am pleased to say that Braden has completed his Marathon! Way to go.....So what if I had to bribe him with Sonic slushes, toys, and a special night eating out with the family. He did it, right?

Snow Day, Round 1

These pictures were taken on October 10! If I wanted snow in the beginning of October I would've moved back to North Dakota. As you can see the kids didn't seem to mind. Apparantly small children don't have "cold sensors" in their bodies.
