Busy Busy Busy!

Spring soccer for Kaleb and Aaron fill up 4 of our 5 weeknights, while Braylen's doctor appointments fill up our afternoons. Poor Braylen hurt his back somehow this winter, and running track has aggravated it greatly. Between our medical doctor, chiropractor, and PT--he has lots of appointments to keep. We think this back pain is from his rapid growth this past year, but no one is really sure. One exciting doctor visit recently was to the orthodontist to have his braces removed! He has a great smile and is very lucky he only needed braces for 6 months.

Aaron worked on his space project during spring break, and finished it last week the night before it was due. (That's how we do things around here!) He made his own planet Jupiter and was very proud of the finished product. :) 3rd grade is so much fun. I've decided it's the last fun and easy grade level, and I can hardly believe my last 3rd grader is just about done with 3rd grade. (sigh)

Aaron's Jupiter space project

Since Braylen is not able to run these days, Kaleb took his place in the color run with Aunt Pam and Analise last weekend. Again, poor Braylen, but Kaleb had a REALLY good time! He had no training or practice--just a willing spirit. That must be enough when you're 12, because Kaleb had no trouble at all running this 5k! He finished with a time of 33 minutes, 56 seconds, and placed 127th out of 428 runners! Hopefully next year he AND Braylen can both run this race.

Here they are before the race

At each checkpoint they were "colored" with a different color of cornstarch.
See Kaleb in the middle with the green hat on?

Checkpoint #3--my runner looks more colorful now!

After the race!

Thanks Aunt Pam for a fun morning!

After the race they had more fun with some color!
Kaleb kept his "color" on most of the day before finally cleaning up.

Aaron's birthday is tomorrow...so more on that next time!
