Birthday Dash

We celebrated Maddy's 15th birthday. She chose key lime pie. Notice the jean quilt that Barry made her for her birthday. 

Mindy had her first cross country meet on Thursday. She did a great job! Notice Ben running next to her.

This was Maddy running a cross country meet on Saturday. She wants me to tell you that she was sick at this meet and that is why she is looking so sad. Watching a cross country meet is way different than watching a softball game. For softball you bring a chair and sit for a couple of hours, maybe even bring food to eat. At the cross country meets you watch the start, then run to another spot on the course to cheer, then run to another spot to cheer, then run to a spot 600 yards from the finish and tell her to sprint, then as soon as she passes, you sprint to the finish line to watch her cross the finish line. Next time I'll bring a jogging suit! The meet was in Spokane so we drove her there and stopped at the DMV on her to get her drivers permit. She is very excited to be taking drivers Ed in October.

Have a great week!
