Spring winds mean kite-flying!
Devin makes a great kite-chaser for when the kite decides to take a dive out of the sky. In this picture, he's in the lower-left corner. |

Caitlin and Devin ride their bikes very well now without
training wheels. Last month, Devin was riding solo and now so is Caitlin.
I got Devin some orange cones to help him work on his technique and accuracy by setting up obstacle courses. He works on going up small curbs, twisting through quick turns, offroading it, riding with one hand, and hopping down curbs. |

Mommy got a bubble machine so the whole neighborhood can enjoy the wonders of soap, water, and air. |
|
Caitlin enjoys using her
Heely skate shoes at the
skating rink.
Devin enjoys his time at the rink as a spectator. Those stinking things make you fall down too much. |
 |
Transplanted Irises from Mamaw Speed's backyard show their high-horticulture-heritage. There are so many blooms and they are so large, there are some that the plant can't even hold up. |

A nice Spring day at Red Kane Park on a trail through the
woods.
Watch your wheel, there's a venomous snake. Of course Angela threw a large stick at it to see if it was alive. Then it ate her. Reminds me of when she threw a large stick at what we thought was a hornets' nest.
Serves me right. I put my hand near the ground and pretended to have food. So, the wild squirrel bit my thumb! |

Caitlin models her new gown before the Daddy/Daughter dance at her school. |

Caitlin and Devin play with our neighbor and Caitlin's best friend, Tori, in the sprinkler out back. |
 |
I had the joy of coaching our basketball team which played in our church league. I called our big guy, Kyle, "Chief" after a character in the incredible film "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Our Chief would just stand there and people would run into him and fall backwards. |

Angela played on our church class volleyball team. Here she
goes up for a powerful spike!
The team, who went 7-0 in the regular season, lost the championship game in the final tournament.
I made up a handful of cheers for the team, who were named the "Night Owls." Caitlin helped me cheer with memorable chants such as "Who, who, who, who, who let the owls out!" and "Who's that hittin' that volleyball, I said, who, who?" |

Hmmm...ummm...uhhh...I don't know what to say. |
