Goodbye 3rd grade, hello 4th graders. I can’t believe how fast time has gone by. Justin even said how fast it went. 3rd grade was a great year. Both had amazing teachers and did well work wise. Justin found a love for basketball-I think he told me he played everyday at recess. There were some bumps in the road, Nikki is starting to see the pettiness of girls and feeling left out, a few of Justin’s friends are moving away, and they learned some bad words. Both are growing up so fast. The kiddos had a great last day of school. They had school parties that included lots of minute to win it games and they watched movies and played board games the last week. Here are some last day photos:

After school we swam with lots of friends. And they were literally in the pool for about 5  1/2 hours. After eating a fast dinner we headed to a friends for a get together. The kids played with their friends and had smores…..you would think the fun would have ended there but it ended with two girls sleeping over. I am thoroughly exhausted and so are the kids.

This morning we woke up to a rat in the trap finally. Bret has been trying to get the guy who did this to my car:

We set the live trap and the little bugger must have not been heavy enough to set off the door. He stole blueberries and cheese. Bret even set up a web cam and we finally got him!

Spring baseball season was great. Justin was part of the Colorado Rockies Team. Unfortunately they only won one game this season, however, each time they played they got better and better. Justin became quite the pitcher-his favorite position. Not sure how it is but this kid can through further than me. The other position he played was out field. Justin really seemed to like baseball, however, the spring season was a huge commitment. The season even went longer than we expected. At the end of the season the boys had a pizza party. Justin received a certificate that says: Master of the rainbow pitch and baseball excellence. Here are some pics:
