Haydn's track/field day

Haydn had her last elementary track and field day today. It was not the warmest day for running! They had 4 events that everyone did, 50m run, 200 m run, tug of war (which seemed like every kids favorite) and long jump.  Fun way to wind down the school year!

middle school track 2017

Hannah has really enjoyed middle school track this spring. The start of the season was cold but the last two meets have been perfect weather!  She has her conference meet Tuesday and then the season is over.  She has ran the 4x8, 1500 and open 800 all season. She got her personal best Thursday night in the 1500, in the time of 5:38.  Awesome job!! 

 

 

 



Grand Blue Mile 2017

Wes and the girls ran in the GBM last night downtown Des Moines.  Haydn and Wes ran in the rec race and Hannah ran in the womens competitive. All 3 of them did a great job.  Hannah improved her time last year by 30 seconds and Haydn beat her time she wanted! Wes said she gave it all she got! Hannah got 3rd in her age group in which she got a $50 GC to Scheels! Win for her!!

Haydn's Birthday in MA

Haydn usually celebrates her Birthday with Easter each year. We headed to MA for Easter this year (as we always do). She gets twice the candy and gifts!

friend birthday party

Haydn chose Glazed Expressions for her friend party Saturday night.  The 4 girls (plus Hannah) had a lot of fun painting. It was fun to see the girls create their masterpieces!  Easy Peasy for me, I sat back and was able to watch them do all the work!  Three of girls she invited were unable to attend due to tournament basketball and soccer games. So it was a small quaint group.
