"i can do this all by myselps mom, you know dat. cause i'm a big girl and getting tall. i am mart and trong! and i can sink sink sink just like the super sleuths." (reference from, my friends tigger and pooh when they are solving a mystery they think think think)

golfing

first video is emma putting last year.... she has come a long way. =)

track meet

ellie, josie, and emma getting ready for their race.
50m dash. they did great! josie did fall and decided not
to finish the race, but everyone had fun! emma was pretty proud

to receive a ribbon for "running fast"
way to go track stars!

ellie in deep concentration!

emma is in lane 5. a little girl fell in the lane next to her....which brought emma to lane 2/3 and then eventually cuts across lanes again to end up in lane 5, running to me. she had to wear her pink and brown outfit, so she was probably the best dressed track star there. =) when she finished she informed me.... "told ya, i'm bery bery fast!"

ellie & josie rengstorf's 50m dash. lane 1 and 2. ellie moves to lane 3 and then works her way back. nikki (mom) comes to the rescue of jojo when she falls. ellie was 3rd in both the softball throw and long jump. emma was worried about josie the rest of the day - we even had to call and leave a message "is dosie otay?" because as everyone knows.... "dosie is my beeest prend!" and "do you know what dosie said to me.... her said i'm her beeest prend!"

jaker's 100m dash - 3rd place overall. (2nd in his heat)

nick rengstorf's 30th.... a bit of karoke!

happy 30th nick!
