 X-man tried out soccer for the first time this year. 

 His team and coach were just right for him.  

L. did soccer too and had the perfect team and coach for him!

Luckily,  all games were on the same field and back to back.

The boys and T biked to school one day.  

X-man chose the state of Colorado for his state project. He found out  the state bird, flower, motto, dinosaur, and all things Colorado to put on his box. He also made a salt dough map.

Of course, T--who won't be in pictures otherwise--and L. practiced photo bombing.

 X-man has moved on from elementary to middle school. GULP! 

He had fabulous teachers in this school. Oh, how we'll/I'll miss elementary!

 X-man got awards for spelling, math, and reading. 

Way to go!

L. does amazing work in all areas, but was an especially great speller this year.  

He gets together with these friends to play regularly. 

PBOOOUURRNNNNN!

Ahhh, the music/sound we now hear bellowing through our house with X-man gracing us with some fancy tuba playing.  And the name of his tuba??  Tuubacca (too ba ka)--not to be confused with Chewbacca from Star Wars though they make similar sounds!

The girls are still in our lives even if we don't have pictures of them.   They finished Girls' Camp and had a fantabulous time sleeping in cabins, swimming, horseback riding, shooting bows, crafting, and enjoying the beautiful outdoors.
