Cross Country Banquet

Coach had nice things to say about Blake. Hard to believe this time next year he will be a Senior. I will have to bring my tissues next year.

Cross Country 2011

Cross Country season kicked off last weekend. I will post pictures from that meet later. Today was our 2nd meet of the season. It was hosted by U of H downtown along Buffalo Bayou. It was a steep, hilly course and lots of kids fell.

This week was also the start of the school year. Those pictures will be posted soon as well.

Blake began his Junior year. He actually is driving himself around these days. This has been super helpful! So far, he has changed his schedule a few times but we hope it is right starting on Monday.

Kendall started off her 7th grade year with a brand new school. They finally built a junior high in our neighborhood. It is a very cool building! She will start cross country this year as well. I can't say she is thrilled but she is doing it to keep in shape for swimming. I think she will also be swimming year round again so she should be good and tired!

Where Blake spends his time

The new car!

Cathcing up...that about sums up what life has been like at our house since the last time I logged on here. Work has become crazy for everyone. Homework and afterschool activities keep everyone occupied. It seems like we have very little time to just relax. I think we are all looking forward to summer and a bit of a slow down.

So, to keep this brief I will at least try to update on the kids.

Kendall has been busy with school. It seems that we never really have to check up on her to see if she is keeping up with homework, etc. She just does it and has made straight A's this school year. She is expanding her interests and her circle of friends. Kendall has gotten involved with youth group at church now that she is in middle school. She is about to start summer swim season in the next few weeks. She also has her camps planned out for summer so it will be a packed summer once again. Her new adventure will be running cross country next year in 7th grade...we will see how that goes as she really isn't fond of running.

Blake has been, well, obsessed. Back in the fall, he began rebuilding an engine for a Mustang. In January, he found a car and now owns a 1966 Mustang. It's in great shape and he has been working on it daily. Aside from that, he has stayed involved in youth group and has run track this season. His final track meet is actually this week. I will be happy to have him driving so that I am no longer his driver!
