Highlights from a busy week....

Nathan and his team won Battle of the Books at CVES for the second year in a row - two time champs!!! They'll get to compete against the other elementary schools in the district on Friday. He and his friends have worked really hard for this. I hope they do well.

Garrett had his first baseball game of the season. He got a hit every time up to bat. The coach put him at 3rd base because he's the only one that can throw the ball all the way to first. He had two GREAT stops, tagged third, and then hauled it all the way across to first base. It was beautiful.

Nathan had soccer games on Thursday and Saturday. They won both and Nathan played great. They are undefeated so far and lovin it.

We got approval from the ROA to put in the sport court and work begins on Wed. The boys are psyched!

As we do every year, we woke up at 6:00 am Saturday to go to the Snoqualmie Fishing Derby. The NW Hunt and Game club stocks the trout pond behind the police station and opens it up to fishing for 6-14 year olds. Both Nathan and Garrett caught their 2 fish limit within 20 minutes. Garrett caught the biggest fish of the four but unfortunately he did not win for his age group. Nathan did and won a new fishing rod. This led to massively hurt feelings for his little brother who was sure that someone just forgot to put his name on the winner's board. Many, many, many tears! It was heartbreaking. In between sobs he said "I want to be happy for my brother, but I just caaaaaaan't!"

I'll get all the pics posted tomorrow!
