To kick off summer vacation we participated in our first Relay For Life Fri night :) Fri afternoon Lindsay Tatum Triniti Kai Kinleigh and I all went down to decorate the MOPS camp area for the relay. Kaeden and Steven had daycamp so were not with us. Kaeden LOVED his cub scouts daycamp and is super excited to go back next year! He made so many fun things and walked away with lots of pride. After decorating the kids Lindsay and I all went and got some dinner and snacks and headed back to the track to start our night. Around 8:30 Steven and Kaeden showed up and we all took turns walking and just enjoying ourselves. After running all day at day camp they still stayed until almost 1am when Kaeden Kai and Kinleigh were done and Steven headed home with them. The girls were troopers and wanted to stay with me at the track. It was real nice to have some one on one time with just Tate Trin and I. Lots of laps around the track gave us many hours of small talk. I can't believe they kept going and going and going and going! I am so proud of all of the kids for the walking they accomplished. Before he left Kaeden made 18 laps! that's 4 1/2 miles! He ran many of those! I figured the girls would be done long before I was but they walked and walked and walked with me. Tate refused to take a break and walked the whole time. trin pooped out around 2:15. She broke her own personal record though ;) She hoped to break her record of staying up past 2am! LOL around 2:15 when I told her she had broke her record she gave me a sleepy smile but stayed awake until we finally gave up and packed up camp and headed home around 3am. I ended up with 31 laps.... 7 3/4 miles YAY! I wish I'd done more, that'll be my goal for next year! Thank goodness we didn't have anything to do Saturday ;) Poor Steven and Kaeden had to get up and head out at 8 for day camp again all day !!! We slept in, had some breakfast... Lindsay watched the girls while I went and got Fathers Day gifts and the kids made Daddy cards.
This morning the kids were all excited to give Daddy their homemade cards :) It is so sweet to see them so excited for Fathers Day. The kids are also excited because KAEDEN MADE HIS GOAL! YAY I promised him that if he brought his handwriting grade up to a 3 that I would purchase a family pass to splashzone for the summer (He did NOT know I'd already purchased it in April due to a great discount LOL) so I was pleased to announce to him yesterday that he did it! So we're all hoping the weather works with us this week so we can go to splashzone and get our passes and enjoy some pool time!!!! The girls were super excited that Kaeden worked hard ;)
We're hanging out now waiting for Steven's Dad to come over for some fathers day afternoon family time :) Really enjoying having all the kids here. They are all being so pleasant lately! It used to be crazy hectic to have all the kids here for the weekend.... and now they are growing into such great kids. They are helpful, polite and a joy to be around. I'm really looking forward to this coming week :)
