Fun with Elijah: Star Wars Viewing Party and Littleton Historical Museum

Elijah and few friends have been having Star Wars Viewing Parties every week! It has been so much fun- we rotate houses and they watch the movies in preparation for the new one coming out soon.

We hosted a few weeks ago and it was super fun! 

 Elijah also went on a very wintery field trip to The Littleton Historical Museum. 

 I really love this place- its completely authentic and it feels like you are stepping back in time!

Staying Fit: Hop-A-Thon, Fun Run and Powell Track

I love that our schools have many outlets to promote health and fitness with our kiddos! 

 Hop-A-Thon 2015

 PTO sponsored event that raised around $11,000 this year for our school! 

 Fun Run 2015

Our Hopkins kiddos run up the hill to Twain Elementary and then we all run back together. 

The PTO buys a Hopkins T-shirts for every kid in the school- just LOVE this tradition! 

 Our PE teacher runs this event for the school. 

 Powell Track and Field

 The twins signed up for this after school and I was so proud of them for trying! 

Can't even believe they could jump over those hurdles.

100 meter dash 

Love that they are growing up with lots of exercise! 

Summer Sports Fun

 Elijah had another year of baseball this summer. He was in the 2nd/3rd rec league and he was the only 2nd grader on the team with 3rd graders so he was pretty small. But the cool thing about baseball is that you don't have to be big:) He is a quick runner and did really well. 

 Mark helped Miss Julia coach and it was a fun 2 months. 

 Sophia also played her second summer of softball and really could hit that ball! 

She played a variety of spots and she said her favorite was catcher. 

So thankful for all our friends and family who came out to watch the kids play!

Thanks for caring about what our kids care about! 

Happy 7th Birthday, Elijah!

We celebrated Elijah's 7th birthday with birthday breakfast, 

swimming at Franklin Pool with his buddies and dinner at Los Dos. 

It was a fun day and I am so grateful that God blessed our family with a boy:) 

Grandpa got Elijah an electric scooter for his birthday! 

He uses it everday and has gotten quite good at zipping around the neighborhood!
