3 Track & Field Meets, 2 Grads & 1 Fifteen Month Old

First, we want to apologize to all our loyal viewers for being VERY delinquent in our blog updates! We are still taking thousands of photos but have not been good at uploading them. We'll try to get better. Onto the update...

My sister is a pole vaulting stud. Just wanted to get that out there. Over Memorial Day weekend, she won the S. Dakota State Meet (again). Then, she went on to win the Nike Outdoor Championships. THEN, she placed second and the USA Junior Outdoor Track & Field Championships with a vault of 13' 5.25''. A new personal record! But that's not all...USA Track & Field has decided to send her to Poland to compete in the IAAF World Junior Championships. Can you believe it?!?! Like I said before, she is a STUD. Good luck in Poland Leslie!!!

This picture is from the State Meet.


Both Leslie and our niece, Chelsie, graduated from high school this year. Congrats you two!


Finally, here is our cutie! Along with still LOVING balls, he's now into rocks, pine cones and airplanes. And he reads to himself out loud. He's still not talking much, but the doctor said it's okay because he's a motor baby. Uh, yeah. No question about that :-)

Your sister is awesome. Congrats to her. Enjoy the silence now. Once Johnnie discovered his words we can't keep him quiet. Reading to himself is a good first step.
