Gymnastics

Today's event for Stoddart Olympics was gymnastics on the tramp. Here are the pictures along with the results! Abby did a fine routine, with lots of falling on her head and several "I hope she doesn't break a bone." And ended up scoring an 8.5
Cameron increased his routine with a few handsprings, and only landed on his head once. He score a 9!
McKenzie WOWed us all with her back flips and back handsprings, clenching her spot on the top with a 9.25!
Pug and I did a routine as well (not pictures for obvious reasons). All in all it was a great day for gymnastics on the tramp!

Stoddart Family Olympics

We decided that we needed to do a Stoddart Family Olympics in honor of the summer Olympics taking place in London this year. So we made up a list of events we were going to do and got to it. Last night was our opening ceremony, complete with the flag processional and the lighting of the Olympic flame.
We also had our first event; volleyball!
Oh yeah, we also had a mascot design competition. Abby's won! I am not quite sure what it is supposed to be, but it was by far the most creative!

Run with a Rage 5K

Back on the 21st, Cameron's soccer club had a 5K fundraiser. It was loads of fun! There were lots of people there that came out to support us. Grandma and Grandpa Stoddart, Uncle Scott, and a few friends from Pug's work were there. One of our friends that had signed up to do the race ended up not being able to come, so Abby put her number on and was off racing with Grandpa. Somehow my pictures loaded backwards, but that's okay. So in reverse order here we are: Abby finished her first 5K in 49 minutes!
McKenzie and her friend Addy finished in 41 minutes (they walked a good share of it, cause it's cool to do that I guess)
My picture isn't here, but I finished in 33 minutes. Not too bad considering I wasn't even supposed to run yet because of my back. Cameron's first 5k was finished in 28 minutes! Way to go Cameron!!
Pug was first in the family finishing it in 27 minutes.
