Track

Kyler and Madeline decided this year that they wanted to participate in youth track. We went to three youth meets in the area. Madeline did the long jump, hurdles, 200 meter dash and 400 meter dash. Kyler did the long jump, softball throw, 25 meter dash and 50 meter dash. Both showed improvements in the meets and brought home several ribbons and medals. Madeline's season highlight was beating two boys in the hurdles at one meet!!! Kyler just enjoyed every minute of it and always had a smile on his face when he was competing.

Madeline's 11th Birthday

Madeline turned 11 this year. For her birthday she decided she wanted to redecorate her bedroom. We had lots of fun picking out new bedding, wall color and decorations. On her birthday she received a special delivery of her favorite treat, Georgetown Cupcakes. It was hard getting 11 candles on the little cupcake. Grammy also made her a special Harry Potter birthday cake. Madeline didn't want anyone to eat it because it looked so good!

Basketball

Madeline played on a local basketball team this year. They played in two tournaments. She improved quite a bit throughout the season with scoring and rebounding. She had to adjust to becoming a post player as she was one of the tallest on her team. She had fun playing and really worked hard to improve.

Wrestling

Kyler began kids federation wrestling this year. He loved every minute of it. He wrestled in the 6 and under, 46 pounds division. He participated in three tournaments and placed 3rd at Minneapolis and 2nd at Chapman. Win or lose he was always smiling on the mat. Travis helped coach him and enjoyed being back in the sport.

Spelling Bee

Madeline won her class spelling bee and attended the county spelling bee for grades 5-8. Although she was eliminated in the second round, she was really excited for the experience. We practiced spelling words for several days prior to the competition.

Kyler's 5th Birthday

Kyler celebrated his 5th birthday with an "all boy" party. Mom and sister were almost not invited. He wanted a Star Wars birthday but only wanted Darth Vader and Stormtroopers on his cake. He actually had two cakes, one for his party and one from Grammy just for him. He had a good day and said now that he is five he is ready for Kindergarten!

Monster Jam 3

Travis and Kyler made a third annual trip to Monster Jam. Kyler was excited to get his Raminator shirt signed by the driver Mark Hall. Of course, he seems to always come home with a unique hat for a souvenir.
