8th Grade Track Meet...

A glorious day on the track at Palmer High this past Friday, nostalgically takes me back to the days of high school track and cross country... I love coaching! Track is so chill, and Kate does great on the trips. The jr. highers are alot of fun, if for no other reason than to watch them and crack up... Wow, to think such a short time ago, I used to be one!:) I drive the girl van on road trips. It has been fun getting to know the girls. I think I have 'em talked into going out for basketball next year, hopefully I will be coaching or helping out...

Kate is now drinking water. What fun! I love watching her go for it with such intensity, so funny and cute...

Amanda, Kate, and I... Amanda and I ran together in highschool. Now we both have babies and we don't spend very much time together. I am glad coaching has brought us back together:) Yay for girlfriends!:)

Here is a view of one side of the track... Its brown and ugly right now, but when its all green it is soooooo pretty! Nothing like Alaska! I love this track and cross country course because it is so nice to run on and it is beautiful! Majestic mountains, lush trees of which the cross country course winds through on a soft dirt trail, really nice track, and of course great memmories...mmmm, just want to soak it all in:)

As for me, I am living my dream married to the most wonderful man in the world. God is so faithful and blessed me above and beyond with Hubs and our children and our life together. I could not ask for or imagine more. My cup overflows. These days I stay very busy with the children. I also enjoy doing a Bible study and some coaching of track or basketball every once in a while. Just for me? I like to run, scrapbook, sew, give myself a pedicure, read, shop, and hang with my Honey or my girls . Coffee keeps me going, as the days fly by faster and faster all the time. I have also recently gotten to the age where I am realizing that I’m getting old, and it continually baffles me. Ha ha☺

Sweeters is two and a half now, going on 16. She recently got her first hair cut and her toes painted (just for fun). She loves “cow milk”, Cinderella, purses, lip gloss, and shoes (heels), and anything with sugar in it. She loves singing songs and coloring. She is an excellent little mommy and takes good care of her dollies. Her vocabulary is ever expanding and she is learning to write her name. She cracks us up with her antics all the time. She is of course totally brilliant, says Mommy and Daddy. She also loves to build with her blocks and wants a kitty for her birthday, just like Daisy Duck in her story book. Lucky for us she wants it to be a toy kitty, not a real kitty.

Bauskas is one now and such a big boy. He is taking steps and even initiating them on his own now, but not quite walking yet. We recently found out he needs glasses and will be getting them soon. He’s still a shrieker when he wants something, especially if his sister is holding it. His laugh is infectious. He will climb anything and he goes down the slide by himself on his tummy. He loves to get into my lotion basket and “color” (eat crayons) with sister when he can get away with it. He is quite the handsome, bouncy, busy little man.
