Friday, Kael had his class field trip the Capitol. He took his own camera and got some great pictures! He had so much fun. That afternoon Kylee had a school friend over to play. The kids also got their spring pictures and I can't believe how grown up they look! After Kylee's friend left, we went over to my parents' house for a little pizza party with my dad, mom, niece and nephew.
Saturday morning we were all up early, excited for our school's Fun Run! It was a chilly 20 degrees, but the kids were ready to go! We had several neighbors and friends running too, so it was a super fun morning. Kael ended up getting second place overall and Kylee got fourth (she also happened to be the first girl and the first one who finished that wasn't a fifth grader) and Kase ran the entire mile! It was just a great morning.

Saturday afternoon we just laid low, getting ready for Kael's birthday celebration with friends.
We had started talking about it weeks before so we could land on some common ground. Kael went back and forth about who to invite, what to do, and in the end- it was perfect. He decided to invite three close friends to SkyZone, then back here for pizza and cake. He helped set up the basement with snacks, etc. He picked out his cake. And all along the way, he was so.very.thankful. Several times during the day before the party he said, "Thanks Mom, for organizing my party." Before the party, we negotiated bedtimes, the amount of pop he'd be allowed to drink, and how many friends he could invite. And he was flexible and agreeable and it all paid off for him. Right before the party started he asked, "Mom, if Kylee wants to come jump with me and my friends, I am 100% OK with that."
We had a really fun night and the kids were all good and all slept well. After pancakes on Sunday morning, Kent took them all home, then we all went to church. Later that afternoon, Kael had his first soccer game. I figured he would be so tired (from the Fun Run and the sleepover) but he still played such a great game. It started raining as soon as the second half started and it was freezing but he didn't complain at all. I was so thankful my dad and mom and Keith and Cindy were there to run Kase and Kylee to the cars to stay dry and warm though! Keith and Cindy came back here to hang out for a bit, then we spent the rest of the evening playing with neighbors outside.
Hope you all had a great weekend!
