Havelock Charity Run

Our whole family participated in the Havelock Charity Run this year, including Grandma and Grandpa!  I ran the 10K with Jill and Julie, while the rest of the family did the 3K (a little less than 2 miles).  Grandma and Grandpa pushed the kids in the double stroller, but Isaiah ran the last .2 miles.  The announcer was talking about him as he ran across the finish line.  Claire didn't walk for any of it, very rare for her, but she had a pretty bad case of Hand, Foot, and Mouth.  That means she had blisters all over her feet and they were very painful!

Water Fun!

We had some more fun with water this month!  Isaiah came up with some very good inventions!  One os pictured below...water through the noodle, onto the dump truck, shooting into the steam roller! 

 Claire loves to lay down in the bath on her back.  One night as she was laying there I started putting the bath letters all over her!  She thought it was hilarious!

We Love Our Piggy Pig!

We are guinea pig sitting this summer for Andy's Aunt's.  We have all, however, started calling Rusty a "piggy pig" as that's how Claire says it!  The kids love Rusty, especially Isaiah.  They get him out everyday and play with him.  Sometimes I feel sorry for the guinea pig having the endure Isaiah's love!

Children's Museum

Isaiah took a class at the Children's Museum at the end of the month.  He went every day from 8:30-11:00.  He had a lot of fun playing at the museum and making fun crafts!  After the class a couple of the days the kids and I stayed and played a little more!  The new water area is really neat and Isaiah played there for an endless amount of time while Claire danced around on the stage!

More Zoo Time!

We visited the Lincoln Children's Zoo this month as well.  Claire loves the tortoise statue in the animal kingdom.  Both the kids got to catch a butterfly and enjoyed hanging around like little monkeys!  They also got to ride a camel!  And just to let you know, kids under 5 have to have an adult ride with them...and the adult has to pay!  But this lady talked one of the "adult" zoo crew members into riding with them so I didn't have to pay for me! :-)

Sutton

We went back to Sutton twice this month.  The first time was for the garage sales.  Andy's parents had one at their place and we took some of our baby stuff to sell.  Claire, of course, enjoyed playing with all of it while we were selling it!

 In the afternoon I took the kids to the pool with Jon and Stacey and J.J.  The kids loved playing in the water and going down the slide!  When we went back to Bob and Deb's we turned on Diego and Claire and Jentry fell asleep cold!

 We went back to Sutton the next weekend for Dugout Days.  We took the kids down to the carnival and they were thrilled with all the rides!  They were extremely tired and mad when we left!

Go Green!

Isaiah had his final track meet at the end of the month.  They started with parade of champions in which each group got introduced and walked in front of the grand stand.  Isaiah was pretty proud!  At the final meet they race six kids at a time and Isaiah came in......sixth! :-)  He was very proud and excited about his run, as were we!
