Lots of Fun to get the warm summer started out right! :)

Auntie Dana, always the reliable, and way more fun than mom baby-sitter, drew pictures, and the kids got to color them in with sidewalk chalk.

Fire-breathing dragon!
Weird robot.
A dinosaur (of course).
Grrrr...Fun lady herself!

Here is Annica holding Cassidy Joy at Brad and Lynn's house. She can't wait to have our own baby at home. (Just not so red- or so she told Grandma Kuiper at the hospital. he he )

Here is Seth, Luke, Dad, and Jason at the annual PR softball tourney.I'm sure Andrea would be thrilled that I put her pic up here, but really I just wanted to show you the burger. This is the Fifth Third burger at the Whitecaps game. We went with a group of our friends on Friday. Anyhow, it's $20.00, so we all pitched in and had a few bites. If a single person eats the whole thing, they get a T-shirt. It's a new promo they have this year. Kind of funny.

Hope Classic 5K run/1mi fun run.
Our kids wanted to be in it too, when they found out from the neighbors, so Jason and I ran with them for the fun mile. Evan had been in "training" for a few weeks, running every day when the neighbor boys came home from school. Back and forth on the grass patch b/w our driveways, around the barn....They are so funny, talking about working out their leg cramps and such....
This is Annica, Josh Bosveld (next door), Evan, don't know the kid in grey :), Justin Bosveld (next door), and Zachary Schwartz (down the road).
Fatty and Annica waiting for the l mi. So I brought the stroller b/c I just KNEW Annica would get tired. But she didn't. She ran her little hiney off. Seriously, she didn't practice at all, and ran to the half mile mark w/o walking, and left me in the dust feeling really dumb. I finished dead last with the big stroller. Very embarrasing to be cheered on by the whole crowd at the finish line. That will make you feel out of shape and foolish. Oh well. I wan't going to run. I have a big ball on my front.
Little Annica coming up through the last stretch toward the finish line. Way before me.
Here are all the boys/men waiting for the beginning of the male one mile. Jason is by the road sign, Evan you can't see.
Here is Evan, (red shorts, white shirt). He finished in 10 min, 23 sec.
Daddy with the kids.
