the wagon

 This poor wagon has been through a lot over the years that we have had it! Well the other day the boys decided that they wanted to paint it camouflage.  So they took it apart and sanded down the old paint and got it ready for some new paint! Then they went to town on painting it!

Mac gave them a few pointers on how to paint it camo! Then they were spraying away!

 

  Kode made sure they covered every inch with paint!

 

The finished product! They are so proud of their new wagon!

receiving an award

Just before school got out Kode received an award for his young authors book. Everyone in the 5th grade had to write and illustrate their own book. Kode said this was not his favorite thing that he did in 5th grade but they said he had to do it. I really enjoyed being able to go to his school and see him receive his award!

Kode just waiting in line for his name to be called!

Great Job Kode!



Soccer

 Bry played soccer this past spring! He loved it. The coach was amazing. He made sure that all of the kids had a opportunity to play all of the positions. Bry really wanted to be the goalie. After playing that position he decided it wasn't what it was cracked up to be. He said it was a boring position. At the beginning of the season the coach told them if they were a undefeated team throughout the season he would treat them to ice cream. So the boys didn't forget about that and made it happen all season!

So after the season was over they didn't loose one game. They won every game so he treated them to ice cream after there last game! Bry had a great season in soccer!

The Mining Expo!

 The mining expo was a huge success again this year! We all enjoy going to the expo every year!
