It's Always Football Season In Jax

Ra has really enjoyed playing football this past year.  He played tackle for Providence and in the winter and spring he's played flag football for i9.  His winter team struggled a bit but his spring team is LOTS of fun.  We've loved watching him play.  He's got a such great sportsmanship and numerous parents of the kids' on his team have shared how much they love having Ra on the team.  They love how he keeps them motivated and positive and his example to the younger kids on the team.  

This is what K does at his meets...Kinda like what he does at her meets...Oh well.  They do get excited for each other when they do well.

Where Does the Time Go?

So much has happened since Christmas break...How is it already spring break???

Here's a snapshot of what we've been up to over the past few months:

Gymnastics meet season!  We've been to Tallahassee, St. Pete and Gainesville for meets.  The state meet is in April down in Daytona.  She's done well this season.

From our weekend in St. Pete/Clearwater Beach, Fl - We ate at a restaurant right on the beach and watched the sun set over the gulf coast.

We also got to visit with Hope, Winter, Rufus and their friends in Clearwater Beach.

Winter the dolphin

K and I went to University of Florida to watch the Gators take on LSU.  She loves Alex McMurtry!

We met up with her teammate Mackenzie at the meet

Riley played flag football this winter as well. 

My parents came to visit.  My dad and Ra went to the sprint car races in Volusia.  Both kids were impressed with Pappy's C7!

We went on a field trip to the zoo with the 6th grade.  It had been awhile since we went there!  We loved the blue trees!

 

My cousin Lori and her family came to visit.  The boys went to Daytona to watch the Supercross.

Riley has been running track this spring.  He's been doing a great job running the mile.

We celebrated my birthday with dinner, drinks and some laps around the speedway at Autobahn!

 My friend Robin and I both have March birthdays so the two of us planned a GNO.  It was so much fun.  We had dinner and drinks then went dancing with the Boogie Freaks!

I know this is just a small snapshot of what we've been up to...but it's been super busy with gymnastics, flag football, track and company!  Whew!  

So far spring break has been relaxing!  But Easter is literally just around the corner - in 5 days!  Yikes!

Just Bouncin' Around

A new trampoline place opened up here in Jax!  This one is most like the one we went to in Utah.  The other one here, my kids don't like because it's very limited on what they allow you to do while you're there.  This NEW place is called Velocity and it's AWESOME!!!

 We went with a group of friends and both kids had a blast.  They enjoyed the trampolines, the pits and the obstacle course!

These are 4 gymnastics buddies.  Emma and Kendall also go to school together and all 4 girls attend church together.  

Emma and Faith have an older brother who is friends with Ra and their mutual friend Bobby joined us too.  It was a great time.  I didn't get many pics of the boys because they kept themselves on the  move more than the girls did.  These 4 were content to practice flips into the pits or aerials on the tumble track tramps!
