Yeh, man!

Track and Field Day

The elementary has a track and field day every year. It is generally very hot, but this year the weather was quite cold and there was even rain. 

Going for the gold

Pierce has a pretty good year, placing 1st in the long jump, 2nd in the baseball throw, and 4th in the 100 meters. 

Owen tries his best at baseball throwing

 

Cheering fans

Owen has the most fun hanging with his classmates and getting to yell. 

Owen's first communion

Owen received the body of Christ for the first time on Sunday, April 30th. He was so excited to finally go to communion with the rest of us.  

The good stuff

Owen's cake turned out really nice and there was plenty to go around. 

The moment of truth

Surprisingly, Owen was very serious for the ceremony. 

Taking up the gifts

I think his hands were permantly frozen in prayer.
