Calders and Spandex...

The Calder family is proud to say that our children are fairly proficient at most sports...Basketball, football, volleyball, recreational softball, golf, frisbee, bowling... you get the picture. Never in our wildest dreams did we ever think they would give it all up for the sport of... TRACK & FIELD! But both of them qualified for State and helped to bring home a first-ever 1st place for the boys and the girls got 2nd. Hip, hip, horray!



Shani ran both the 800 and 1600, and qualified in the 1600.


Kayd tried the high jump, long jump and javelin, and qualified in both the jav and the long jump.




And we can't leave out the little guy-this is him whoopin' on his class mates at his field day this last week.

If the truth were known, I think Kayd and Shan both joined the team for the social aspect and the sunshine... but both ended up thinkin' the sport was kinda cool and I bet we'll see both of them in spandex again next year!

Kamrens school put on a singing/dancing program this last week. It was totally awesome. Each class sang a couple of songs and did a couple of dances, then there were songs/dances that the whole school did together. The kids had a blast. The theme was "Dancing with the NRE Stars" and the songs were like "Tie A Yellow Ribbon", "Blue Suade Shoes", "Singin' In the Rain", "Raindrops Keep Fallin", etc.


Kamren and Reesha cuttin' it up - he kept telling me they were the best dancers in his class!

He really did have fun doing it - just wouldn't think of smiling! He told me he was too busy concentrating.




And you know me - had to take advantage of a fun photo op!

And just for the record, I sewed 6 of the black skirts!
