June Gloom!

On June 1 we went up to Washington to watch the older 3 kids participate in the District Track meet. Destini didn't end up qualifying at the end, and right before the meet - Brayana didn't either - she was 1% below the allowable grade in one of her classes ~ and not enough time between the grade check and the meet to do anything to bring it up - so we all went and cheered Jaleel on. He did the Javelin thro - 108 feet (or somewhere close to that) - his team placed 1st in the 2x200 (which gave his team 1st place in the state) and 3rd in the last relay of the day. Their team was affected by an injury which necessitated a last minute substitution ~ but made up a lot of ground and finished well anyway. We had a blast at the track meet.
Here is Jaleel winning the 1st relay:

We also attended Tetee's t-ball game.  She reminds me sooooo much of her mother at that age!  'Nuff said there! LOL
 She loves getting her uniform on and all the preparation~
But the rest of it gets a bit boring for her! LOL

Since we were there for S'te's birthday I thought I'd work with the kids to bake a cake for her ~~~ It wasn't one of our finer outcomes - to say the very, very least! Being unfamiliar with her ovens - I didn't realize that neither of them (she has 2) heat evenly or tay at a temp well...
So needless to say.. the cake looked rather terrible! I went to stack it and .... welll....


I did find enough of a piece to put her flames on!  Boy what a volcano!

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!
