Gymnastics

Ava took the Spring session of gymnastics at WGC.  She has worked so hard and learned a lot this time!  I think a lot of it is because she is the perfect age to be learning and because she has a great teacher.  She loves to jump in the pit, do apple turnovers on the bar, forward rolls on the beam, swing on the rings, and jump on the trampoline.  I took a few pictures of her during her last class--she looks tired because she was!
Both Ava and Brecken are signed up for the summer session.  Can't wait to see what B-man does!

 

Swim Lessons

Ava is taking swimming lessons at the Wichita Swim Club this summer.  She was a little hesitant the first couple of days, but she loves it and she is working hard.  We are so proud of her!
I took some pictures yesterday, but they aren't fabulous since I had to take them through the window.  Oh well!  Still think she looks cute!

vM Ranch

We went to the ranch a couple of weekends ago and with all of my computer issues, I wasn't able to post pictures.  So here they are!  We had a lot of fun!  It looks like it's just us that was there, but Erick's parents were there also.  I am sure Grandma Shelley has some good pictures too.  Ava spent most of her time driving the small Gator and Brecken had his first ride on the big Gator.  He was very quiet, just watching the horses and cows.  Fun to see the interested look on his face.

New School, New Classroom

The waiting game came to an end last week.  I will be teaching first grade at Stanley Elementary.  I am very much looking forward to being with the kiddos again!  My mind is whirling with all that I need and want to do to get ready for my first year back.  I went to Stanley last week and took pictures of the classroom that I will be in next year.  There is still construction equiptment in it since it's a brand new room, but here is what it looks like at this point.

After I get settled in, I will take and post the "finished" pictures!

Sushi Night

I recently had a girl's night and learned how to roll sushi!  It was a fabulous evening!  Sushi, wine and girl talk.  Fabulous, I tell you. 
Here are the pictures to prove it.


This is Ashley and I.  She is the Sushi Master.
