First Day of School 2013

The first day of school rolled around quickly.   Madeline will begin school sports this year.  Kyler was excited to get the same teacher Madeline had in first grade.  The day went very well for both.

California Vacation

This year we made a trip to sunny Los Angeles, California. Michelle had a conference to attend at the Nixon Presidential Library so the family tagged along and made a vacation out of it. This was Kyler's first airplane ride so the captain let him try out his seat and hat! We spent two days at Disneyland taking in all the rides. Kyler was selected to participate in the Jedi Training show there.  He fought both Darth Vader and Darth Maul and resisted joining the Dark Side!  We also enjoyed the beach, although the waves were too rough to venture in the water. We attended Medieval Times where Madeline was selected to be the Queen of the Tournament for our section's knight. Kyler didn't spend much time in his seat as he was fighting right along with the knights. We walked around Hollywood and headed to Beverly Hills to walk along Rodeo Drive. Madeline was disappointed we wouldn't let her shop in any of the stores! The weather was fabulous, making it a great vacation.

Baseball

Kyler played machine pitch baseball again this year.  His highlight of the season was getting to put on the catcher's gear.  He had a lot of fun and is looking forward to playing again next year.

Dance Recital 2013

Madeline completed her 9th year of dance.  She did a solo to "Just a Game" from the Hunger Games soundtrack.  She looked very grown up with her costume, hair and make-up!

The Circus Has Come To Town

At the end of the school year the Kindergarten class created a circus for the school.  Kyler was the ringmaster for the Kindergarten Circus.  He had quite a few lines he had to memorize.  He did a good job keeping the circus on track.

KU Football Camp

Kyler attended a KU football camp this spring.  He had a great time going to different stations and "playing" with the Hawks.  Of course in the end, football players always get the girls!

Welcome Grimm

We decided to take the plunge and get another dog.  We chose to get a Morkie, a small breed.  The kids were so excited.  He has been a good dog so far, being very playful and lovable.  We named him Grimm.  He has already got us all wrapped around his little "paw".
