In and Out Track Meet??






Okay, Well Derrik had his big Track Meet last Thursday. He had made it to the finals and we couldn't wait to see the big event. He thought it started at 5:00 so we got there right on time so we could get a good seat. People were pouring in so we hurried and got a good seat. Well then come to find out that it really didn't start until 5:30 and that Derrik was running in the very last race. But that was okay. Grandma and Grandpa were on there way so I told them they didn't have to hurry and would they mind stopping at IN and OUT to get us some food?! That saved the day! They showed up with lots of fries and burgers and we were all happy campers. You could even hear murmurs from the people around us wishing they could have an In and Out Burger. I think they really are the best. Well anyways back to Derrik. He finally got to run and he did so awesome. He came in 3rd in his heat and just did great! We are so proud of him and all the great things he does. He may not be the biggest or the fastest kid out there but he sure gives it his best and never quits. We love you Derr Bear!

Marlee's Preschool Graduation!!!






Well Today was the big day. Marlee graduated from Little Rascal's Preschool. She was sooo excited and kept asking if it was time to go yet! She even let me curl her hair. We were all very excited. Grandma April, Maycie, Mom and Dad were all there! She sang songs and told us her favorite things to do at preschool. Then she said the nursery rhyme "Wee Willie Winkie" all by herself. She was so good! She even got a yearbook to take home. Some of the highlights were the Famous Quotes in the yearbook. These were Marlee's: "Don't talk to my dad, he's shy", and "I tell my dad to say excuse me but he doesn't" and one more "My cat rides my bike when I'm outside playing in the sand". Oh she really makes us laugh. Well now she is on to kindergarten. I don't know where the time has gone but we sure do love our "Sillybuns"!!!
