El Paso Longboarding

Kyle found a nice long-ish smooth road in a quiet subdivision. I think he got up to about 23 mph before the hill leveled out.

First Track Meet: The Richland Jamboree

After waiting outside in GORGEOUS weather for 3 1/2 hours and in chilly weather for 1 1/2 hours, we finally saw Kyle vault for the first time this year. Right off, Kyle tied his personal best of 11' 6" and made a respectable run at 12'. I think he would have done better at 12:00 noon, when pole vaulting started than at 6:30, when he finished. Kyle thinks not. Michele and Drew know how long it takes to get through ANY event at the Jamboree. Here is a link to Kyle's stats at AthleticNet. It updates almost immediately after the meet, so check back a couple of times a week to see how he is doing.

On a side note: Kyle's coach wanted him to try long-jump at the meet so he worked with the long-jumpers for the first time on Friday. He jumped 17' 4". That was farther than any other jumper in the school and a varsity distance! Woo Hoo, Kyle!

12' Attempt

The More the Merrier!

Since I'm not afraid of using vinyl with my Cricut anymore, I made a couple more projects:

1. The long-awaited "Cornwell" board for Drew and Chrissy.
2. A small tile for someone with a whiner in their family...I can't decide if I should give it to Dan or Chrissy :)

Monson Quote Plaque

I made this plaque as a birthday present for my friend, Kathryn Rhoten. This is my first venture using vinyl with my Cricut. It took a LONG time, but it was fun and turned out pretty well.
