Field Day

Friday was Katie, Emily and Megan’s school field day.  Each wore their class color T-shirt for the day’s events.  They walked across the street to use the high school’s big field for all their relays.  Chris, and the boys and I met them there to be part of the fun… along with Grandma and Grandpa Johnson who had just flown in for our Spring Break vacation.  Last year’s Field Day was a few short days before Matthew’s delivery and since I was not up for waddling around in the heat I missed out on all the fun -- so this year I was excited to go, and the girls were SOOOO excited to see us. First stop was Megan’s light blue Pre-K class doing the parachute…naturally her favorite station.

Lucky for us we finally got to meet Jaggar.  Yes, Jaggar is his name.  Her little pre-K ‘friend that is a boy’ that she’s constantly talking about.   Word is that Jaggar adores Megan and I could sure tell as I took their picture!  Later we said, “Megan, I didn’t know Jaggar had long hair.”  She giggled and said, “He doesn’t have long hair, he has short hair like me!”

Next stop… Emily’s turqoise 1st grade class doing the crazy noodle relay.  She even has a turquoise face from all the torquoise shirt reflection.   Just look at all those freckles!  I love this picture.  She was positive that braids were the perfect field day hair-do.

Below, Emily telling her teacher that her little brother probably wishes he could be in her class.  Thank goodness for such sweet first grade teachers who listen to everything first graders want to say.

Last stop… Katie’s yellow fifth grade class doing the wet sponge relay.  

After the relays were done we headed up to the stands to watch the races.  Katie had already won 3rd place in her class sprints so she was chosen as one of the kids to represent the class in the ‘4 person baton’ race.  She did really well.  She and Ryan are constantly racing each other… and they are both quick little things.  Good job Katie!

These days I have to let Luke have some ‘funny face’ pictures before he’ll give me some good cheesy smiles.  Mostly he just wants to see himself on my camera screen.  Yep, he thinks he’s pretty funny.
