Field Day.

Today was Field day at Cullans school. It is not the Field day I grew up with, where you had to complete against each other and ribbons were handed out at the end. 
This is basically a whole day spent outside playing different games. 
The kids seem to really enjoy it. 
I only got to spend half the day with Cullan due to a doctors appointment I had to go to in the morning. 
When I arrived they were just heading outside for the second half of their day. 
 Here is Cullan with his class waiting to play the basketball game.
 I am not for sure, but I think that went in. It looks like it is going in doesn't it?
Then they moved onto the water race.
They had to fill a cup up with water and run down to the other bucket and dump it. 
 I think the kids enjoyed getting wet. It was pretty warm outside today. I was grateful Cullan had sunscreen on or he would have been one burned little boy.
 Then we headed into the gym. 
The kids took turns sitting on these scooter things and pushing each other. 
 After this we headed back outside. 
50 yard dash was next on the list.
 Our next station was a free time at the play ground. 
I think Cullan enjoyed showing off for me a little bit. 
So did his class mates. I had about 4-5 kids all saying to me, "Look what I can do!! Watch me do this!!"
 My little monkey man!!
When we were done on the playground we went to get our Popsicles and sat in the parking lot for the big finale! 
 The teachers at Cullan's school have a chicken launching contest. A rubber chicken of course. The teachers pair up in teams of three. They then see who can launch the chicken the farthest across the parking lot. All the kids cheer for their teachers. It was a lot of fun!!
I am so happy that I get to go and see things like this at Cullan's school and spend time with just him. Now that he is at school all day, I miss him. I feel like we don't get a whole lot of one on one time. So times like these, I try to be around as much as possible.

My kids have that same kind of field day: lots of playing outside. I miss the ribbon getting and the relay racing. Oh well.

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
