Memorial Day MUD!!!

RAIN! RAIN! RAIN! That seems like all we have seen for the past couple of weeks around here and boy is our back yard getting muddy. On Memorial Day we had a family cookout and what started out being a fun game of "Monkey in the Middle", turned into a fun mud bath. David, of course was the first to take a dive through the mud and then Bailey, Payton, Wesley and Mason had to follow. They had the best time. We just let them get as muddy as they could. We just took the water hose and gave them a good bath in the yard.

Splash Pad Fun

Splash Pad is a new water park that Bailey and Payton love going to. It opened Memorial Day weekend and of course we had to go!! I am sure it will be the first of many trips this summer.

End of another school year

Can't believe I will have a 6th grader and a 1st grader next year. Bailey ended the school year with all A's and B's and she was even elected Student of the month for May!! Payton had a great year in Kindergarten and is reading just about everything in sight!! We are so proud of our girls. They have both enjoyed school this year, but are ready for SUMMER!!!

Flip-Flop Gymnastics

Payton has had so much fun doing gymnastics over the past years. She gets so excited to show us new things that she has learned. She has been at Flip-Flops for 3 years and was so happyto get her third medal from Ms. Misty this year.

Happy Mother's Day

Mother's Day was such a very special day. I got to spend time with my mom and Bailey and Payton tried to spoil me all weekend. Which I really enjoyed!! I have been blessed to have a mom who has always supported me in every decision that I have made and been by my side in every journey. I only pray that I will be that for the two beautiful girls that God has blessed me with.

Gum Tree 5K Run

David and I have really tried hard this past year to change some habits and become "Healthy!!" He joined the Wellness Center and I have been meeting a friend for the past year each morning at 5:00a.m. Nell and I started out walking every morning and then when it turned cold we would meet in the church gym and work out with BOB!! (from The Biggest Loser) She and I decided that we wanted to do the Gum Tree Run---Clay and David just laughed at us!! It turned out they decided they would join us!! It was our first time ever to partcipate in a run, much less 6.2 miles. The morning of the run it was pouring down rain, a pretty severe storm and we really thought what have we gotten ourselves in to!! But we had a blast!! We all finished the race and didn't come in last (which was our goal). Proud to say our time was 1:25:24!! We all think we might add more runs to our list in the future!! We are all going to keep working on staying healthy.

Marching into May

May is almost over but boy have we been busy!! Between ballgames, end of school, Mother's Day and everything in between---we are all in need of SUMMER VACATION!!! The honeysuckle smells great at our house and I got to wondering if Bailey and Payton had ever tried it--we have now. Bailey didn't want to try it at first but she finally did and she actually liked it. It is hard being a little sister when big sister gets to go every where so we took Payton fishing one afternoon for some special one on one time--She had so much FUN!!
