The Cubanapolis!
On the night of the race, the boys had to run a LONG course, stopping each lap for "pit stops." Family members served as their "crews" and washed their windows (faces with sponges), changed their tires (took off shoes, switched socks, and put shoes back on), and refilled their fuel (water to be drunk through a tiny straw).
First Day of School Pics
The kids like to lay out their clothes the night before the first day of school. It always makes me smile! Notice Devin's shoes are even pointing upwards in a more natural pose!
The Cute Elementary School Boys in their new Star Wars shirts! Zach is in 4th Grade at Meadow Lake Elementary, and Devin is in 1st Grade at his Spanish Immersion School.
My big Middle School-ers!
Ty "got" to wear his WEB (Where Everybody Belongs) shirt on the first day. He was part of a group of 8th graders assigned to help mentor and orient the new 6th graders to the school. The 6th graders knew they could ask a big 8th grader in an orange shirt if they needed help!
Amanda has had a hard adjustment to middle school (she would have like to stay in elementary), but she is doing a good job with everything. I can't believe I have two kids in middle school now! Aren't they grown-up and good-looking?

Tyler at the State Fair
Here's a short video clip of Tyler's Marching Band playing at the Minnesota State Fair on Friday. He gets to be in the high school marching band, even though he is only in 8th grade - pretty cool!
