Floyd Kids: April 2010

Friday, April 23, 2010

Yesterday Scott's middle school track team put on a race for elementary kids. They targeted 4th and 5th graders, but anyone could come. It was 800 meters(2 laps around the track) and the top 15 girls and top 15 boys got medals. Everyone got a race number. Kyra really wanted to run(Myles did too, but he backed out at the last second:)). Here they are with their race numbers.

Little stinkers:)

Kyra ended up getting 13th and beating a bunch of "big girls." We were so pround of her because all the girls took off really fast and then ended up walking in, while Kyra was behind at first but ran the entire way and passed a bunch of people. We all had fun!

Passing the "big girls"

Awards ceremony...notice the height difference:)

Our Sweet New Ride:)

This post is overdue since we got this van a month ago...but it's still exciting that we can all go places in the SAME car now! YAY!

Scott did a great job finding this for us! A funny little story: On Valentine's Day Scott's middle school students asked him what he was getting his wife for Valentine's Day. He told them, "a poem and a new car!" They were totally impressed...little did they know that he meant a used mini-van.:) I think he's a stud:).

The first time we all rode in the van Myles yells from the back seat, "Mommy! Kyra and I are riding in the trunk!"

Smily Girl!

Sophy is 8 weeks old today! I can't believe she's been around for almost 2 months! She is a little angel baby! She eats like a champ and is getting chubby little thighs:), sleeps through any noise, is starting to "talk" and gurgle, and smiles lots! We all adore her, especially Myles, who just can't seem to get enough of her! Here's some pics of her smily self:).
