Lincoln Track 2019

 Lincoln had an amazing track season this year.  He had a great coach (Coach Erickson) who really thought a lot of Lincoln and worked a lot with him.  He also had a friend named Tristan that was an amazing runner and helped Lincoln giving him lots of tips.  

 In the last few meets Lincoln took third place in both the 1600 M and the 800 M races.  He got very good at them.  His best time on the 1600 M was 5:36 and his best in the 800 M was 2:28.  In the county championship meet, his coach wanted him to just do the 800 M so he could focus on that one.  I couldn't believe how fast he went.  His paces way faster than it had been up to this race and he ended up taking 3 place against some of the fastest runners in the county and took 10 seconds off his time with at 2:18.  He was right behind 1st and 2nd.  We were just SO proud of him and his hard work!!

 I really like that they gave them medals and had them stand on a "podium".  It was neat for the runners. 

 The girls took first place in the county and the boys took third.  It was such a great track season!!

Go Vickery!

 Here are a few pics from other meets.

 Go Lincoln!

 All of the Vickery runners together (except Tristan who had already won the race).  

 The guy next to him with the red hair is his buddy Tyler.  They were good friends through the track season.  

He got third place in this race.  We were just so proud of him!

Reading with Dogs

 McKay and I were at the library one day and we saw a room full of books and dogs.  McKay is a dog lover, so we went in to check it out.  McKay was thrilled to stumble on a program that helps literacy through having kids reading aloud to dogs.  We didn't have time that day to do it, but you better believe we put it on our schedule to come back.

 McKay carefully picked out books that had to do with dogs so the dogs would enjoy them :)

 He had a ball and we have had many days of reading to these fun service dogs.

Easter 2019

I always love Easter.  It's the crown to spring for me.  

 Each of our boys needed a few things, so we stuck them in their baskets.  

 They always get ties.  It's a must.

 Hunter had been saving for "air pods."  He didn't have enough money, so we helped him out.  He was pretty thrilled about that.  

 All dressed up for Easter Sunday.  

 After church we had our annual Easter hunt.  I can't say Easter egg, because we don't hunt eggs.   When the boys were little they were dying to have a hunt, but we felt they had so much candy already, we didn't want to do more, so we hid random things like string cheese, yogurt, crackers, little boxes of cereal.  It's always fun to come up with random things for them to hunt for. 

 We always love holidays!  Especially those that help us to focus on the Savior.
