The kids entertaining themselves sumo wrestling.

Leo was definitely an asset to his little league team this year. He played the infield mostly at 2nd or 3rd base. Had some good hits and crucial plays. He just needs to gain some running speed. His team played Pilot Rock so he played against his cousin Jonas. PR won.

Reiah was a hard worker in track, but was happy when it was over. I think she liked practices more than meets.

My favorite part of my trip to DC

After arriving right as it closed Wednesday, I was determined to see Arlington National Cemetary before I left Friday. So, on Friday we checked in at the airport an hour and half before our flight, then I caught the metro to the nearby cemetary. I speed walked uphill to see the tomb of the unknown soldier and watch the changing of the guard, which I had to time just right because it only happens on the hour. I took this picture (and other pictures-this being my favorite because you can see the Capital and the Jefferson Memorial) praying that wasn't my plane leaving early in the background. Then I video-taped the changing of the guard for my kids and promptly began sprinting downhill. By the time I got to the metro i was sweating in 50 degree weather. At the airport I sprinted to my gate and had 5 minutes to catch my breath before boarding. It was a worthy sacrifice:)

Roen was really excited about his birthday!
