Attempting to Keep Up!

With the craziness of another school year coming to an end, I am having a difficult time remaining organized.  With that said, let me update you with our June happenings... 
 
Russell has been asking for some time to run a race.  He obviously sees not only his mother running races, but now Aron has a few under his belt as well.  So...  The athlete and competitor in me did not want to let Russell's wish go so I signed him up for our local Oak Apple Kids Run.  Sloane, not wanting to be left out, was also registered to run.  Both kids were awesome!  I could see Russell becoming nervous at the starting line, but he took off and never stopped with Sloane following right behind him.

Trophies for the finishers!
 Another wish Russell has had this spring was to do something in our neighborhood to raise money for the American Cancer Society.  After some discussion, we decided on a lemonade stand.  Sloane assisted with sign making, Russell was on set-up duty, and both were taste testers.  By the end of the afternoon, they had raised nearly $50 in donations! 

Our little salesmen!
